Layer Details
Stretch Knit Fabric Cover
A soft, pliable cover that lets the fillings beneath contour to your body shape. In practice this means you feel the comfort layers working rather than a taut, drum-like surface.
White Fibre Fillings
A lightweight, high-loft filling that retains its shape and is hypo-allergenic. It adds a layer of cushioning between you and the foam core, and should resist flattening over time.
Advanced Reflex Foam Core
A supportive, long-lasting hypo-allergenic foam that conforms to your body by distributing weight evenly, which means reduced pressure points at the usual sore spots. This is the main support layer, as the Hudson contains no springs.

Key benefits
- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double is the long-established two-person standard, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing without dominating the room.
- Fits typical UK bedrooms: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most double bedrooms clear with space left for bedside tables on both sides.
- Lighter to get upstairs: The Hudson's 18cm foam-and-fibre build makes this double easier to manoeuvre round the turn of a terraced staircase or a tight landing than a sprung equivalent.
- Flippable, so it wears evenly under two: The Hudson is double-sided, which means a couple can flip and rotate it regularly and spread the wear across both sleepers' sides.
- Budget-friendly for a whole room: As a low-priced foam double, it suits a guest room or a first flat where the budget also has to stretch to a wardrobe and drawers.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a bigger bed would crowd the walkways, or you're furnishing a guest room that needs to sleep visiting couples comfortably without a big spend. It also suits a solo sleeper who wants space to spread out, or shares with a pet that claims a corner. In each case the medium foam feel and the UK double's 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in footprint do the job simply.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to sprawl and the room can take a bigger bed. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and we'd recommend it if your bedroom comfortably exceeds 3m x 3m.

FAQ's
Is the Highgrove Hudson in a UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the Hudson's reflex foam core spreads weight evenly across it, so neither sleeper rolls into a dip. If one of you is broad-shouldered or a restless sleeper, sizing up to the UK king buys noticeably more elbow room.
What room size do I need for a double Highgrove Hudson?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves space to walk round the bed and fit bedside tables on both sides. Because the Hudson is only 18cm deep, the bed will also feel less visually bulky in a smaller room than a taller double would.
Is the UK double Hudson easy to get up narrow stairs?
Easier than most doubles. It arrives boxed, and with no springs and an 18cm profile the Hudson is lighter to handle than a sprung double, which helps on the turning stairs of older terraces or a tight new build landing. Once unboxed it's still a 135 x 190cm mattress, so unbox it in the bedroom.
Should I get the Highgrove Hudson in a double or a king?
The UK double suits couples in typical rooms and keeps the cost down; the UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, better for taller sleepers or anyone who wants more personal space. If your room clears 3m x 3m comfortably and the budget stretches, the UK king is the roomier pick. Otherwise the UK double serves well.
What bedding fits the Hudson in a UK double?
Standard UK double bedding: double fitted sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet. The Hudson's 18cm depth is shallower than many boxed mattresses, so standard-depth fitted sheets tuck under neatly with no need for extra-deep versions. Double bedding is also the most widely stocked size in the UK, at every price.
