Layer Details
Pocket springs
Springs housed in their own cloth sleeves, smaller in diameter than open coils and independent of their neighbours. That means they respond separately, which cuts the movement you feel from a partner.
High-density advanced comfort foam
A high-density foam that works with the springs to give a medium to firm support. It adds body-contouring without making the mattress feel soft.
White fibre comfort layers
Generous white fibre layers, described as hypo-allergenic. They add a cushioned surface feel and may suit you if you're sensitive to fillings.
Advanced reflex foam
A deep layer of advanced reflex foam beneath the white fibre. It adds a supportive base to the comfort layers above.

Key benefits
- Space for bedside tables: At 135 x 190cm, it leaves room for a bedside table on each side, provided your bedroom meets our suggested minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m.
- Quieter at close quarters: With 67.5cm each, you lie nearer each other than on a UK king, so springs in separate sleeves help keep a restless partner's movement on their own side.
- Easier on tight stairs: It's vacuum packed in a box, which means a turning staircase in an older terrace or a cramped new build landing is far less of a problem than with a flat double.
- Bedding is simple to find: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit, which helps if you're kitting out a first flat and want to keep spending under control.
- Suits most visiting couples: In a guest room, the medium firm feel with fibre cushioning on top suits most guests, although lighter side sleepers may find the shoulders a little firm.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed most nights in a typical UK bedroom and still want a bedside table each side, or you're setting up a spare room for visiting couples and need the bed to leave space for a wardrobe and drawers.
Consider another size if...
You both like to sprawl and your bedroom has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives each of you 7.5cm more; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Highgrove Ottawa Pocket 1000 UK double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. You get 67.5cm each across a 135 x 190cm surface. The independent pocket springs help at this width because you're lying fairly close. If either of you is tall or sleeps spread out, the UK king gives 7.5cm more each and is 10cm longer.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK double Highgrove Ottawa?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m. That's enough for the mattress and a bedside table each side. Around 3m x 3m feels comfortable once a wardrobe and drawers go in, which suits a typical second bedroom or first flat.
Highgrove Ottawa double or king: which should a couple choose?
The UK double fits rooms where a UK king would crowd out other furniture. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, but we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it. If your room is under that, the UK double keeps space to move around the bed.
Will a Highgrove Ottawa UK double fit up narrow stairs?
It comes vacuum packed in a box, so it should manage a tight landing or turning staircase far more easily than a flat 135 x 190cm mattress would. Measure the narrowest turn on your stairs first, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
What bedding fits a UK double Highgrove Ottawa Pocket 1000?
Standard UK double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit. The mattress is 29cm deep, so check the fitted sheet's pocket depth before buying, because shallower sheets may struggle to stay on the corners.
