- Room for two guests: At 67.5cm each for two people sharing, a visiting couple gets a proper night's sleep rather than a squeeze.
- Fits typical rental bedrooms: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most UK doubles rooms in rentals and student lets can manage with furniture in place.
- Bedside tables on both sides: The 135cm width usually leaves enough wall for a table each side, something a UK king often rules out in smaller rooms.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm duvets are stocked everywhere at every price, useful when you're dressing several beds at once.
- Easier to get upstairs: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, this size turns the stairs of older terraces and tight new build landings more readily than the wider sizes.
This size suits you if...
You're a landlord or host furnishing rooms where couples will sleep and need a Crib 5 rated mattress to meet your legal obligations, or you're setting up a guest room that has to work for visiting pairs. It also suits fitting out a whole property at once, where the UK double keeps every bedroom usable without any single bed dominating its room.
Consider another size if...
Your rooms are generously sized and guests expect hotel-style space, since two adults sharing get 67.5cm each here. The UK king, 15cm wider and 10cm longer, would suit you better if the room allows it.

Is the Highgrove Stafford in a UK double big enough for two guests?
Yes, for typical guest stays. Two people sharing a UK double get 67.5cm of width each, which suits visiting couples and shorter lets comfortably. For rooms aimed at longer stays or larger guests, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length, provided the room can take it.
What size room does a UK double Highgrove Stafford need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m so there's space to walk round the bed and open drawers, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our guidance rather than the manufacturer's, but it holds for most rental and guest bedrooms, and usually still leaves room for a bedside table each side.
Should landlords choose the UK double or the UK small double?
If a room will regularly sleep two, the UK double is the safer buy: it's 15cm wider than the UK small double, and both are the same length, so the footprint difference is modest. The UK small double makes sense for single-occupancy rooms where floor space is genuinely tight.
What are the UK double dimensions in feet and inches?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, or 135 x 190cm. That compact length matters for delivery: this size copes with turning stairs in older terraces and narrow new build landings better than the UK king or UK super king, both of which are wider and 10cm longer.
How does the UK double compare to the UK king in this mattress?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. In practice that's the difference between a bed that fits alongside a wardrobe and chest of drawers, and one that dominates the room. Compare the retailers listed on this page for live availability in each size, as stock changes.
