Layer Details
- ClimaCool foam comfort layer. An 8cm layer of ClimaCool foam infused with Phase Change particles and carbon crystals. This is the temperature-regulating heart of the mattress, designed to keep the sleep surface cooler and more consistent through the night.
- Pocket springs. A layer of pocket springs, 5500 in the king size, each moving independently to give advanced postural support. That means the mattress responds to your shoulders and hips separately rather than as one flat surface.

- The classic shared size: At 135cm wide it's the long-established standard for two, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing without dominating the room.
- Cooling matters more when you share: Two bodies generate more heat than one, so the Phase Change particles and carbon crystals in the ClimaCool foam count for more in a shared bed.
- Fits most UK bedrooms: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most doubles rooms manage while still leaving space to walk round the bed.
- Pocket springs limit partner disturbance: Sharing 135cm means feeling each other's movement more, and independently moving pocket springs soften that, responding to one sleeper without jolting the other.
- A substantial bed without heavy flipping: It stands 35cm deep, noticeably taller than many mattresses, yet the single-sided design means occasional rotation is all the upkeep it asks of a couple.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a UK king would leave no walking room, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, since the medium feel and hypoallergenic cover keep it agreeable to sleepers you can't predict.
Consider another size if...
You share every night and both of you sprawl, or one of you is tall. 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.

What size room do I need for the Kaymed ClimaCool 5500 in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That's our guidance rather than Kaymed's, and it assumes you want to open drawers and walk past the foot of the bed. If your room only just clears the minimum, measure with bedside tables included before committing.
How much space does each person get on a UK double ClimaCool 5500?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, which is comfortable for most couples, although less than each of you would have alone in a UK single. The pocket springs help here: because they compress independently, one of you turning over is far less noticeable to the other than it would be on a conventional sprung mattress.
Should a couple choose the ClimaCool 5500 in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK double suits most couples and most rooms. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, so it's the better call if either of you is over 6ft or you both like to stretch out, provided your room offers at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In a smaller room the UK double leaves the space usable.
Will the UK double Kaymed ClimaCool 5500 fit up narrow stairs?
At 135 x 190cm and a substantial 35cm deep, it's a bulky item to manoeuvre, and being a hybrid with pocket springs it won't roll or fold. If you live in an older terrace with a turning staircase or a new build with a tight landing, measure the awkward points before ordering and check the retailer's delivery terms.
Is the ClimaCool 5500 in a UK double still worth it for one person?
Yes, if you value space. Sleeping solo you get the full 135cm width to yourself, which is generous, and leaves room for a pet who insists on a corner. The temperature control is less critical with one body in the bed, but hot sleepers will still feel the benefit. Compare the retailers listed on this page for the current price.
