Layer Details
- Room for two in a typical bedroom: At 135cm wide the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in most UK rooms, which a UK king often doesn't.
- 67.5cm each when sharing: Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, enough for most couples, and the pocket springs move independently so a restless partner disturbs you less.
- Usable width right to the sides: The Triple Edge Protection™ mentioned in retailer listings suggests reinforced sides, useful in a shared double where each sleeper tends to drift toward the edge.
- Bedside tables on both sides: In a room meeting our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, a UK double usually still allows a table each side, which a wider size may not.
- Easy to dress and easy to move: Double bedding is stocked everywhere at every price, and the 135 x 190cm footprint turns tight terrace stairs more readily than a UK king.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room is closer to the 2.6m x 2.8m minimum we suggest than to a generous master, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also fits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, where a medium tension is a safe bet for guests you can't ask about firmness.
Consider another size if...
You're both taller than average or you each want more than 67.5cm of width. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of room space and we'd recommend it instead.

Is a UK double Hypnos Legacy 1 big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, and the pocket springs respond to each sleeper separately rather than tilting you both toward the middle. Broad-shouldered couples, or anyone used to sleeping alone in a double, may find it snug; the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
Will the Hypnos Legacy 1 double fit in a small bedroom?
We suggest a minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers. If yours is a compact second bedroom or a first flat, measure with wardrobe doors open before committing.
Can the Hypnos Legacy 1 double be carried up narrow stairs?
At 135 x 190cm it's the more forgiving of the shared sizes on turning staircases in older terraces or tight new build landings. Hypnos doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, and traditional pocket sprung designs can't be rolled or folded, so check your stairwell and door widths before delivery day.
Should I choose the Legacy 1 in a double or a king?
Choose the UK double if your room is near our 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, if you want bedside tables on both sides in a modest room, or if it's for a guest room. Choose the UK king, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, if you have at least 2.7m x 2.9m and either of you is tall.
What bedding do I need for the Hypnos Legacy 1 double?
Standard UK double sheets fit the 135 x 190cm footprint, paired with a 200 x 200cm double duvet. Double bedding is the most widely stocked size in the UK, so replacing sheets is cheap and easy, a practical point if you're furnishing a whole home at once and spreading the budget thin.
