- The default couples' size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the arrangement most UK bedrooms were designed to hold.
- Fits where a king won't: The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, which means it leaves walking room in a typical rental or guest bedroom.
- Sensible for multi-room buys: If you're kitting out a rental or guest house, the UK double covers the main shared bedrooms while the Durham's smaller sizes handle the rest.
- Bedside tables on both sides: In a room around 3m x 3m, the 135cm width usually leaves space for a table each side, something visiting couples and tenants quietly appreciate.
- Easy to dress cheaply: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm double duvets are sold everywhere at every price point, which keeps linen costs down when you're buying for several beds.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing rental bedrooms, a guest house or a spare room that needs to sleep visiting couples, and you want the size most people expect to find when they pull back the duvet. It also fits if your rooms are typical UK proportions, around 2.6m x 2.8m or a little more, where a bigger bed would crowd out wardrobes and drawers.
Consider another size if...
Your rooms are generous and the beds will be shared every night, since 67.5cm each is snug for two adults long term. The Highgrove Durham in a UK king would suit those rooms better.

How big is the Highgrove Durham in a UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, which is 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK double footprint, so it fits standard double bed frames and divan bases, and takes ordinary double sheets with a 200 x 200cm double duvet.
Is the UK double Highgrove Durham a good choice for rental bedrooms?
For shared rooms in a rental or guest house, the UK double is the safe default: it's what most tenants and guests expect, and it fits typical UK room sizes. As a Crib 5 contract mattress, the Durham is aimed at exactly this market, though construction detail isn't published, so ask the retailer if the build matters to you.
What room size do I need for a double Highgrove Durham?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m being comfortable. That gives you walking space on both sides and, in most layouts, room for bedside tables and a wardrobe without the bed dominating.
Should I buy the Durham in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. For guest rooms and rentals with typical proportions, the UK double is usually the better fit. If a room is spacious and the bed will be shared nightly, the UK king gives each sleeper noticeably more width.
