Layer Details
Solotex
A soft Solotex layer sits at the top and base of the mattress. It gives you a smooth surface to lie on, with the firmer feel coming from the layers and springs beneath.
British wool
Layers of British wool from Red Tractor assured farms. It's a natural filling, which means a cosy, breathable layer that suits you if you tend to sleep warm.
Cotton
Two layers of responsibly sourced cotton sit in the filling. They add natural cushioning over the springs without making the mattress feel plush.
eOlus fibre
An adaptive eOlus fibre layer that moulds to the body around the pocket spring core. It adds a little give where you press into the mattress, while the springs keep the overall feel firm.

Key benefits
- A shared bed that fits most rooms: At 135cm wide, the UK double gives couples a proper shared bed while leaving space for bedside tables on both sides in a typical room.
- 67.5cm each for two sharing: Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each, which works well here because firm pocket springs hold you on your own side rather than rolling you together.
- Less partner disturbance in a close footprint: The 1,200 pocket springs compress independently, which matters at this width, where you sleep nearer your partner than you would in a UK king.
- Room guidance you can check tonight: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, so measure before ordering rather than after the mattress arrives.
- Easy to dress, easy to move: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit, and this size is simpler to get up turning stairs in older terraces than the wider options.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits comfortably around our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch without stepping up to a king footprint. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, since the firm feel works well for back and front sleepers, the most common combination among guests.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to sprawl, or one of you is a restless sleeper. 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.

FAQ's
Is the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. You each get 67.5cm of width, and the 1,200 pocket springs compress individually, so you're less likely to feel your partner turning over. Broad-shouldered pairs, or anyone who sleeps starfish-style, may prefer the UK king, which adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for the Orthos Support 8 in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which leaves enough space to walk round the bed and open drawers. If you want bedside tables on both sides, measure the wall the bed sits against: the mattress is 135cm wide, so check what's left either side before you commit.
Should I get the Orthos Support 8 in a UK double or a UK king?
It comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and it suits rooms where a king would crowd the walkways. If your bedroom allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m and you both value space, the UK king is the more comfortable long-term choice for two.
Will a UK double Hypnos fit up narrow stairs?
A traditional firm pocket spring mattress doesn't roll or fold, so it goes up the stairs at its full 135 x 190cm size. In older terraces with tight turns, or new builds with small landings, measure the stairwell and any awkward corners first. The UK double is usually more manageable than the wider UK king or UK super king.
Is the double Orthos Support 8 a good choice for a guest room?
It's a sensible size for one, since visiting couples can share it and the footprint leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers. The firm tension suits back and front sleepers well, although lightweight side sleepers among your guests may find it a little unyielding. Bedding is easy too: standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet.
