Layer Details
- Cover. A soft, microquilted Coolmax® stretch fabric cover designed to help regulate body temperature. In practice, that means heat and moisture are drawn away from you rather than trapped at the surface.
- Fillings. Hypoallergenic fillings sit beneath the cover. These are a helpful choice if dust or allergens tend to disturb your sleep.
- Spring construction. Traditional coil spring construction provides support, with reinforced edges to minimise roll off. You should feel a uniform, springy support across the whole surface, including near the sides.

- A footprint most bedrooms can take: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), it fits rooms where a UK king would leave you squeezing past the footboard.
- Sensible space for two: You get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, enough for couples who sleep fairly settled, especially on a surface this firm.
- Edges you can actually use: Reinforced edges minimise roll off, which means the full 135cm width stays usable rather than both of you drifting toward the middle.
- Two-sided at a turnable size: It needs flipping to spread the wear, and a double is about the largest size one reasonably strong person can manage alone.
- Cooler when the bed is shared: Two bodies warm a mattress faster than one, so the Coolmax® cover drawing heat and moisture away is genuinely useful here.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed most nights, you both prefer a genuinely firm surface, and your bedroom is the typical British size where a UK king would crowd the walking space. It also suits solo sleepers who want to spread out, or who share with a dog or cat that claims a corner, without paying for width they will never use.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both move around at night, or 67.5cm each sounds tight on a surface with no soft give. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider.

Is the Highgrove Dream Coil UK double big enough for a couple?
It works for couples who sleep fairly settled. You get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the reinforced edges mean neither of you loses width to a saggy side. The extra firm surface also transfers less sink than a soft one. If either of you is a restless or broad sleeper, size up.
What room size do I need for the Dream Coil in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m being the comfortable norm. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm, so in a typical main bedroom you should still fit bedside tables on both sides, which is the usual sticking point when people consider going bigger.
Can one person turn the Dream Coil UK double over?
The mattress is two-sided and needs turning regularly to spread the wear. A double is a manageable size for one reasonably fit adult, though it's easier with two, particularly if the bed sits against a wall. Sprung mattresses of this traditional construction tend to hold their shape while you flip them, which helps.
How much space does each person get on a UK double Dream Coil?
67.5cm each for two people sharing. That's the standard couples' allowance in the UK, and on an extra firm mattress it goes slightly further than it would on a soft one, because you stay on your own patch rather than rolling toward a dip in the middle.
Is the Dream Coil double a good choice for a guest room?
It's a reasonable fit. The 135 x 190cm footprint suits guest rooms that also hold storage, and it accommodates visiting couples as well as solo guests. The one caveat is the extra firm feel, which occasional guests can't get used to over time, so mention it before they visit if you can.
