- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double gives couples 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is workable for most pairs who sleep fairly still.
- Pocket springs help on a shared width: Independent springs follow each sleeper separately, which means less disturbance when your partner turns over, useful when you're sharing rather than sprawling.
- Fits rooms a king would crowd: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and you'll still have space for a wardrobe, drawers and bedside tables on both sides.
- Natural materials in an everyday footprint: The sustainable cotton cover and absence of fire-retardant chemicals come in the size that suits most British bedrooms, so you're not compromising to fit the room.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked everywhere, so bedding for this size is cheap and simple to find.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits comfortably above our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, where a medium pocket spring feel is a safe bet for people whose preferences you don't know.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both spread out at night, because 67.5cm each can feel snug. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of room for it.

Is the Hypnos Wool Origins 8 UK double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket spring construction keeps each side moving independently, so a restless partner is felt less. If either of you is broad-shouldered or a sprawler, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for the Hypnos Wool Origins 8 in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm, so in a typical room you can still fit bedside tables on both sides, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers without squeezing past the bed frame.
Will a UK double Hypnos Wool Origins 8 fit up narrow stairs?
At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in it's a manageable size for most homes, though turning stairs in older terraces and tight new build landings can still be awkward. Hypnos doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so measure your access route and check with your retailer before delivery day.
Is the UK double a good size for a guest room?
It's the natural choice if visiting couples stay regularly, and the medium feel is a sensible middle ground when you can't know your guests' preferences. If the room is under our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length, and needs at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
Should I get this mattress in a double or a king?
It comes down to your room and how you sleep. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king and suits rooms where a king would dominate. Given the price gap between sizes on a mattress at this level, compare the retailers listed on this page for both before deciding.
