Layer Details
Damask cover
A quality damask fabric with a micro quilted finish that secures the outer fabric to the layers beneath. It gives you a neat sleeping surface that stays in place.
Hypo-allergenic fibre layers
Deep layers of white fibre filling, described as hypo-allergenic. They sandwich the springs, so they may suit you if you're sensitive to bedding fillings.
Small diameter pocket spring interior
Each small diameter coil sits in its own cloth sleeve, between the fibre layers. This is where the firm support comes from.

Key benefits
- Room for two in an ordinary bedroom: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double fits a typical British bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which means you share a bed without losing the floor.
- 67.5cm each when sharing: Each of you gets 67.5cm of width, which suits couples who sleep fairly still and don't mind being within arm's reach.
- Bedding is easy to find: Standard double sheets fit, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet gives you both enough to pull over without a nightly tug of war.
- Firm support across both halves: Each small coil sits in its own cloth sleeve, so the firm surface stays consistent whichever side of the UK double you sleep on.
- Two can turn it: Because it's double-sided, you can flip as well as rotate it, and with two of you the UK double is a straightforward job.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a typical UK bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, and you both sleep on your back or front. It also fits you if you're kitting out a guest room for visiting couples who'd appreciate a firm surface.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to spread out, or one of you is tall and the bedroom has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

FAQ's
Is the Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 UK double big enough for two people?
It gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which suits couples who sleep fairly close and don't sprawl. If one of you is restless, the UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person. For most couples in an average bedroom, the UK double is a sensible balance of sleeping space and floor space.
What size bedroom do I need for a Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double. Around 3m x 3m is more comfortable if you want bedside tables on both sides and space to open a wardrobe door. In a smaller second bedroom, measure where the drawers and wardrobe will go before you commit.
What bedding fits a UK double Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000?
Standard double sheets fit the 135 x 190cm surface, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet works for two sharing. The mattress is 27cm deep, so check that any fitted sheet you buy states it suits a mattress of at least that depth, otherwise the corners may slip off.
Should I get the UK double or UK king Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. Choose the UK double if your room is closer to our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum. The UK king makes more sense if you have at least 2.7m x 2.9m and either of you is tall or likes extra width.
Will a UK double pocket spring mattress fit up narrow stairs?
The UK double measures 135 x 190cm and 27cm deep, and as a pocket spring mattress it can't be rolled or squashed to get round a corner. Before ordering, measure the tightest turn on your stairs or landing against those figures, then compare the retailers listed on this page for the Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 in a UK double.
