Layer Details
Stretch knit cover
A soft-to-touch stretch knit fabric with a micro-quilted finish, designed to keep the white fibre fillings in place. The fillings are described as hypoallergenic, so it suits anyone who prefers to avoid allergens.
Advanced reflex foam core
The 23cm-deep mattress is built around an advanced reflex foam core that is designed to conform to your body and spread your weight evenly. That should mean fewer pressure points, although the overall feel is extra firm, so it may be too hard for lighter side sleepers.

- The classic shared footprint: At 135cm wide it gives two people 67.5cm each, the long-standing UK standard for couples, without a king dominating the room.
- Fits a typical UK bedroom: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most doubles-era British bedrooms clear with space for a wardrobe.
- Boxed delivery suits awkward access: Rolled and boxed means it goes up tight new build landings and turning staircases far more easily than a rigid 190cm mattress.
- Budget-friendly for a shared bed: The Quebec sits at the affordable end of the market, which helps if you're furnishing a first flat or a whole home at once.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked everywhere, at every price point, so bedding costs stay low too.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed most nights and want the traditional couples' size in a room where a UK king would crowd out the wardrobe and drawers, or you're kitting out a guest room that visiting couples will use. It also suits a solo sleeper who likes space to spread out, even with a dog or cat claiming one corner. Compare the retailers listed on this page for the current price.
Consider another size if...
You both sleep restlessly, or one of you is tall, and your room comfortably exceeds 3m x 3m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, as it is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

What are the dimensions of the Highgrove Quebec UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in by 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK double footprint, so it fits any UK double bed frame and takes ordinary double sheets with a 200 x 200cm duvet. Highgrove doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so check with the retailer if your fitted sheets are shallow.
How much space do two people get on a UK double?
Two people sharing a UK double get 67.5cm each. That's comfortable for most couples, although if either of you sleeps starfish-style you'll notice the boundary. Because the Quebec's firmness isn't confirmed, restless couples who want more separation may prefer the extra width of a larger size rather than gambling on the feel.
Will the Highgrove Quebec UK double fit in a small bedroom?
In most cases, yes. We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves walking space and room for a wardrobe, though bedside tables on both sides can be a squeeze at the minimum. Measure with the door swing in mind before ordering.
Should I choose the Quebec in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, which helps taller sleepers and restless couples. The UK double wins in a typical British bedroom, where a king can leave you shuffling sideways past the footboard. If your room is under about 3m x 3m, the UK double is the safer call.
Is the boxed UK double easy to get upstairs?
Easier than a traditional flat double, certainly. The Quebec arrives rolled and compressed in a box, so it will manage the turning staircases of older terraces and tight new build landings where a rigid 135 x 190cm mattress struggles. It's still a heavy carry for one person, so have a second pair of hands ready.
