Layer Details
Responsive-Gel layer
A breathable, instantly responsive layer with gel beads for temperature control, designed to draw excess body heat away from the surface. It eases pressure while helping you stay cooler, which is useful if you tend to sleep warm.
Pocket springs
Individual springs, each in its own cloth sleeve, that move independently and contour to your body shape. You get support that follows your shape, and less disturbance when a partner moves. A high density foam encapsulated border around them gives edge-to-edge support.

Key benefits
- The classic shared footprint: At 135 x 190cm, this is the long standing UK couples' size, big enough to share without dominating a typical bedroom.
- Pocket springs suit two sleepers: Independent springs limit motion transfer, which means one of you turning over is less likely to wake the other in a shared bed.
- Room for bedside tables: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, which in most rooms still leaves space for a table on each side.
- Gel for warmer nights: The gel in the comfort layers is typically there for temperature, which matters more in a double where two bodies share the heat.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked everywhere at every price, so replacing bedding never becomes a hunt.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed and your room sits around the typical UK size, where a UK king would crowd the walkways. It also suits you sleeping solo and wanting genuine space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat that has claimed a corner, or you're furnishing a guest room that needs to sleep visiting couples comfortably.
Consider another size if...
Your room comfortably exceeds 2.7m x 2.9m and you'd both value more space. At 67.5cm each, sharing is workable rather than generous, so we'd recommend the UK king instead: 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

FAQ's
Is the Kaymed Signature Response Gel Pocket 1600 UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, with a caveat. At 135cm wide, two people sharing get 67.5cm each, which is the traditional UK couples' standard and fine for most. Restless sleepers or anyone used to spreading out may feel the limit. The pocket springs help, since each side responds independently and movement carries less across the bed.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK double?
Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That minimum is our own guidance rather than Kaymed's, and it assumes you want to walk round the bed and open drawers without shuffling sideways. In most rooms it also leaves space for bedside tables on both sides.
Should I get this Kaymed 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 we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. If your room clears that with space to spare and you share every night, the UK king gives you both more elbow room. Tighter than that, stay with the UK double.
What are the exact dimensions of the UK double size?
135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That fits any standard UK double bed frame. If your frame came from Europe, check its measurements before ordering, since EU doubles run to different dimensions and the mattress may sit proud or leave a gap.
Will a UK double fit up narrow stairs in an older house?
Kaymed doesn't publish handling guidance for this model, and pocket sprung mattresses can't be rolled or folded the way some foam beds can. If you're in an older terrace with a turning staircase or a new build with a tight landing, measure the awkward points and ask the retailer about access before you commit.
