Key benefits
- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm, this is the traditional UK couples' footprint, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing without dominating an average bedroom.
- Fits typical UK rooms: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most second bedrooms and older terraced houses can manage with a wardrobe still in place.
- Suits guest rooms and lets: A contract-spec mattress in a UK double covers visiting couples and solo guests alike, which is why it's the default choice for rentals and guest houses.
- Room for bedside tables: Being 15cm narrower than the UK king, the UK double leaves space for tables on both sides in rooms where a larger bed wouldn't.
- Easy to dress cheaply: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm duvets are sold everywhere at every price point, which matters when you're kitting out several rooms at once.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a guest room or rental property and need a size that works for couples and solo visitors alike, you're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a UK king would leave no walking room, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You're a couple who wants more than 67.5cm of width each, or your room comfortably exceeds 3m x 3m. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider than the UK double.

FAQ's
What are the dimensions of the Highgrove Lincoln Crib 5 in a UK double?
The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That's 15cm wider than the UK small double and 15cm narrower than the UK king, so it sits in the middle of the shared-size range. Highgrove doesn't publish a depth for this model, so check the brand's own guidance if that matters for your fitted sheets.
Is the UK double Lincoln Crib 5 a good choice for a guest room?
It's arguably the size this mattress was designed around. Contract-specification mattresses are built for guest houses and rentals, and a UK double handles visiting couples and solo guests without swallowing a spare room. Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and you'll still fit a wardrobe and a chest of drawers alongside it.
How much space do two people get on this UK double?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each. That's enough for most couples, although if either of you sleeps restlessly or you're both broad shouldered, it can feel a little snug over a full night. In that case the UK king, which is 15cm wider than the UK double, is the more comfortable long-term buy.
Will the UK double fit in a small bedroom?
Usually, yes. We suggest a minimum room size of 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves walking space on both sides and room for bedside tables in most second bedrooms and first flats. If your room is under that minimum, the UK small double, 15cm narrower, is the safer fit.
Where can I buy the Lincoln Crib 5 in a UK double?
Stock for this size moves around, so the most reliable answer is the live retailer table on this page, which updates as retailers change their prices and availability. Because this is a contract-specification model aimed partly at trade buyers, it appears at fewer retailers than mainstream mattresses, so there's less scope to shop around.
