- The classic couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), this is the traditional shared size, wide enough for two without dominating the room.
- Motion isolation where it counts: Pocket springs move independently, which means a restless partner disturbs you less, and that benefit only really shows once two of you are sharing.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: We suggest a minimum room of 2.6m x 2.8m, which in most UK bedrooms still leaves space for a table on each side.
- Suits an existing double bedstead: This mattress is designed for bedstead bases, so if you already own a double slatted frame it drops straight in.
- Medium firm across the width: The medium firm tension supports back and combination sleepers on both sides of the bed, though lightweight side sleepers may find it slightly firm.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a UK king would crowd the walls, or a solo sleeper who wants space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes sense if you're replacing a mattress on a double bedstead you already own and love, since this model is built for exactly that kind of base.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to sprawl and your bedroom can take a bigger bed. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space for it.

Is the Hypnos Luxury Wool Bedstead double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is the long-standing British standard, and the pocket springs cushion each sleeper independently so you feel less of a partner's movement. If either of you is broad-shouldered or a starfish sleeper, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK double?
We suggest a minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That usually leaves enough clearance for bedside tables on both sides and room to open wardrobe doors, which is exactly why the UK double remains the default choice in typical British bedrooms.
Will a UK double Hypnos mattress fit up narrow stairs?
At 135cm wide it's the largest common size that's usually manageable on the turning stairs of older terraces and tight new build landings, though a pocket sprung mattress like this doesn't arrive rolled, so measure your stairwell and any awkward corners first. Hypnos doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so allow two people to carry it.
Should I choose this mattress in a double or a king?
Choose the UK double if your room is on the smaller side or you sleep alone; choose the UK king if you share every night and the room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m. The medium firm feel and pocket spring construction are identical in both, so it's purely a question of space against floor area.
What bedding fits the UK double version?
Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet, both stocked everywhere at every price point. That easy availability is one quiet advantage of the UK double over less common sizes, and it helps if you're furnishing a whole home at once with the budget spread thin.
