- The classic couples' footprint: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would leave little walking space.
- Pocket springs help in a shared width: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the independent ReActivePro springs mean a partner turning over is felt far less than on an open coil bed.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most bedrooms will still take a table on each side, which matters more in daily life than a few extra centimetres of mattress.
- A sensible guest room choice: A UK double sleeps visiting couples properly while leaving the room usable the rest of the year.
- Bedding is easy and cheap to find: Double sheets and duvets are stocked everywhere at every price, so dressing a premium mattress doesn't have to cost a premium.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room suits the traditional couples' size rather than a UK king, you sleep alone and want space to stretch out or share with a pet, or you're setting up a guest room that needs to sleep two comfortably.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space, or one of you is tall. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we'd recommend it if your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Hypnos Cotton Deluxe UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, and the pocket spring construction adapts to each of you individually, so you're less disturbed when one person moves. If either of you is broad-shouldered or a restless sleeper, the UK king's extra 15cm of width may be a better fit.
What room size does the UK double Hypnos Cotton Deluxe need?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That usually leaves space for bedside tables on both sides and a wardrobe, which is the practical test of whether a bed suits a room. This is our own guidance rather than a Hypnos measurement.
How much smaller is the UK double than the UK king in this mattress?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. That 10cm of length matters if either sleeper is tall, and the width helps couples who like space. The trade-off is room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, against 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Will a UK double mattress get up a narrow staircase?
The mattress measures 135 x 190cm, so measure your stairwell, landings and door frames before ordering, particularly in older terraced houses with a turn in the stairs or tight new build landings. Hypnos doesn't publish handling guidance for this size, so check with your retailer about access before delivery day.
Is the UK double a good size for a guest room?
Yes. It sleeps visiting couples properly, unlike a UK single or UK small double, and its 135 x 190cm footprint leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in a typical second bedroom. The medium firm tension suits most sleepers, which is useful when you can't predict who'll be using the bed.
