Key benefits
- Room for two: At 135cm wide, a UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is comfortable for most couples without dominating the room.
- Fits typical UK bedrooms: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most second bedrooms and guest rooms can manage with space to walk around.
- The safe choice for guest rooms: A double works for visiting couples and solo guests alike, which is why it's the default size in guest houses and rental properties.
- Easy to dress on a budget: Double sheets and duvets are sold everywhere at every price point, useful if you're kitting out several rooms at once.
- Simpler to deliver: A 135cm-wide mattress is easier to get up a turning staircase or across a tight landing than a UK king, worth remembering in older terraces.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a guest room or rental property that needs to work for couples and single guests alike, or you're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a bigger bed would leave no space for wardrobes and drawers. It also suits anyone kitting out a whole property at once, where the double's easy bedding availability keeps the shopping list simple.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to spread out and your room can take a bigger bed. The UK king version of this mattress gives you 15cm more width and would suit you better.

FAQ's
Is the UK double Highgrove Oxford Crib 5 big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double is Britain's traditional shared size, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That's comfortable rather than generous, so if either of you moves around a lot at night and your room allows it, the UK king version of this mattress is 15cm wider.
What room size do I need for the double Oxford Crib 5?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves enough clearance to open wardrobe doors and, in most rooms, fit bedside tables on both sides of the bed. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm.
Is the UK double a good size for a guest room?
It's the sensible default. A double accommodates visiting couples as well as solo guests, and this being a contract mattress, it's the kind of specification often chosen for guest houses and rentals in the first place. Double bedding is also the easiest to buy, which matters when a room only gets occasional use.
How does the UK double compare with the other sizes of this mattress?
The UK double is 45cm wider than the UK single, 15cm wider than the UK small double, and 15cm narrower than the UK king. Note this mattress tops out at the UK king, so there's no super king option if you wanted to go larger still.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Oxford Crib 5 in a UK double?
Availability for this size is limited, so there's little scope to shop around. Compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them.
