Layer Details
- Cover. A breathable Coolmax® stretch fabric cover that helps regulate your body temperature overnight. In practice this means less overheating in warmer months.
- Fillings. Sumptuous hypoallergenic fillings secured by hand tufting. The tufting keeps everything anchored, so the comfort layer stays even rather than migrating over time.
- Springs. 1000 pocket springs in the king size, each moving independently. That means support follows your shape and you're less likely to feel a partner shifting about.

- A shared size for ordinary rooms: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double fits comfortably in bedrooms where a UK king would crowd the walkways and wardrobe doors.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most rooms will still take a table on each side, which matters when two of you share.
- Independent support for two: Pocket springs move individually, which means a partner turning over on their half is less likely to disturb yours.
- Firmness that holds across the width: The extra firm build gives back and front sleepers steady support right to the edges, useful when 67.5cm each is your whole territory.
- Cooler when sharing: Two bodies raise the temperature under one duvet, and the Coolmax® stretch cover is designed to move heat and moisture away.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are sold everywhere, handy if this bed is one line on a long furnishing list.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want a firm, no-fuss mattress in the size most UK bedrooms are built around, or you're furnishing a guest room that has to handle visiting couples without dominating the space. It also suits a solo back or front sleeper who likes room to spread out, even with a dog or cat claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room comfortably clears 3m x 3m. This mattress also comes in a UK king, which is 15cm wider than the UK double, and we'd recommend the UK king instead.

Is the Highgrove Dream Pocket UK double big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket springs respond to each of you separately, so one person's movement is less noticeable on the other side. Broad-shouldered pairs, or anyone used to a UK king, may find it a little snug.
What room size do I need for the Dream Pocket in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves space for a wardrobe, drawers and walking room, which is why the UK double remains the default for typical UK bedrooms, first flats and second bedrooms alike.
Should I get the Dream Pocket in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, which two adults will feel every night. If your room comfortably exceeds 3m x 3m and you both value space, size up. If the room is tighter, or you want bedside tables on both sides, the UK double is the sensible pick.
Will the UK double Dream Pocket fit up a narrow staircase?
At 135 x 190cm and 24cm deep, it's a manageable size for most homes, though a firm pocket spring mattress won't fold or squash. If you have a turning staircase in an older terrace or a tight new build landing, measure the awkward point before ordering.
What bedding fits this mattress in a UK double?
Standard UK double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet, both stocked everywhere at every price. Check fitted sheets accommodate the 24cm depth, which most standard ones do. That easy availability is one quiet advantage of choosing the UK double over less common sizes.
