Layer Details
Cotton and viscose cover
An unbleached cotton and viscose ticking that is naturally flame-retardant without added chemicals. If you want a chemical-free cover, this is a reassuring starting point.
Solotex
A soft Solotex layer sits at the top and the base. It adds a gentle cushioning layer to the surface, and because the mattress turns, you get it on both sides.
British wool
Layers of British wool from Red Tractor assured farms. Wool is a natural fibre, so it gives you a traditional, natural-fibre feel.
Cotton
Two layers of responsibly sourced cotton. They add to the natural filling and help build up the comfort layer above the springs.
eOlus fibre layer
The final layer around the ReActive 8-turn pocket spring core is made from adaptive eOlus, a recycled fibre. It sits between the fillings and the springs, so you get a recycled material in the build.

Key benefits
- A proper couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm you get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is enough for most couples to sleep comfortably without touching walls or each other.
- Fits typical UK bedrooms: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most UK doubles and second bedrooms can manage with space left for a wardrobe.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: In an average-sized room this size usually leaves enough wall either side for a table and lamp each, something a king often rules out.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit, and both are stocked everywhere at every price point.
- The smallest entry to this model: There's no single or small double in the Orthos Support 8 range, so the UK double is your way into this mattress at its most compact.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around the typical UK size, where a king would crowd the walls. Or you sleep alone and want proper space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that regularly hosts visiting couples, since the UK double is the size most guests expect.
Consider another size if...
Your room comfortably exceeds 2.7m x 2.9m and you'd both appreciate more space. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we'd recommend it instead for couples with the room to take it.

FAQ's
Is the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double is 135 x 190cm, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That's the traditional shared size in Britain, although restless sleepers or taller partners may prefer the UK king, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer if your room allows it.
What room size do I need for the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which is our own guidance rather than the manufacturer's. That allows you to walk round the bed and open drawers without shuffling sideways. If you want bedside tables on both sides, a slightly larger room makes everyday life noticeably easier.
Is the UK double the smallest size the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 comes in?
Yes. This model is available in UK double, UK king and UK super king only, so there's no single or small double. If your room can't take a 135 x 190cm bed, you'll need to look at a different mattress rather than a smaller size of this one.
Should I buy the Orthos Support 8 in a double or size up to the king?
Choose the UK double if your room is around the typical UK size, since the UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m and can dominate a smaller space. Sizing up buys you 15cm of width and 10cm of length, which matters most for couples who both move about at night.
Will a double mattress get up a narrow staircase?
A 135cm-wide mattress is generally the most forgiving shared size for turning stairs in older terraces and tight new build landings, though a heavy pocket-sprung bed still takes two people. Hypnos doesn't publish a weight for this model, so check dimensions against your stairwell and ask the retailer before delivery day.
