Layer Details
- Cover. A Coolmax® stretch fabric cover with micro quilting, which means it helps regulate body temperature for cooler sleep while adding a softer feel to the surface. It takes the edge off the firm build underneath.
- Memory foam. A generous layer of body-cushioning memory foam. This is the layer you'll feel first, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Pocket springs. A spring unit with 1000 pocket springs in the king size, designed to offer superb support and help with postural alignment. Because each spring moves independently, you should feel less disturbance from a restless partner.

- Room for two in most bedrooms: At 135 x 190cm, this size fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would dominate, so bedside tables on both sides usually stay possible.
- 67.5cm each for two people sharing: That's the width each sleeper gets, enough for couples who sleep close, though restless pairs may want more.
- Less partner disturbance across a shared bed: The pocket springs move independently, which means one person turning over transfers less motion across the mattress, useful at this shared width.
- Firm support for both of you: The firm feel keeps two back or front sleepers well supported edge to edge, without one heavier partner creating a slope.
- Cooler sleep with two bodies in the bed: The Coolmax® stretch cover is designed to regulate temperature, which matters more when two people share a double than when one sleeps alone.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit, and they're stocked everywhere at every price point.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room can't comfortably take a UK king, or you sleep alone and want to stretch out beyond a UK single, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes sense for a guest room that hosts visiting couples, where firm support pleases most backs without you agonising over their preferences.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom clears around 3m each way and you'd both value extra space, especially if either of you is tall. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

What room size do I need for the Highgrove Dream Memory in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m so you can open drawers and walk round the bed, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our guidance rather than Highgrove's. In a smaller second bedroom or first flat, the UK double still usually works, but measure with the wardrobe and drawers in mind.
How much space does each person get on the UK double Dream Memory?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each. That's the traditional couples' allowance in the UK, and the firm surface with independent pocket springs helps here, because you feel less of a partner's movement in that shared space. If either of you sprawls, the UK king offers 15cm more width overall.
Is the UK double or the UK small double better for this mattress?
For two people sharing every night, the UK double, which is 15cm wider than the UK small double at the same length. The UK small double suits a solo sleeper in a tight room or an occasional guest bed. On a firm mattress like this one, that extra width is the difference between sleeping close by choice and by necessity.
Is the Highgrove Dream Memory UK double good for a guest room?
It's a sensible pick. The UK double takes visiting couples without swallowing the room, the firm feel suits back and front sleepers, and the hypoallergenic fillings are a safe choice when you don't know your guests' sensitivities. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little solid, but for occasional stays that's rarely a dealbreaker.
