Layer Details
- Smart Latex. A 50mm layer of reactive natural latex foam that provides soothing support. Latex responds quickly to movement, which means gentle pressure relief without the sinking feeling of slower foams.
- Pocket Springs. 1,600 pocket springs (counted on the kingsize) work alongside the latex, each one individually encapsulated. This lets every spring react to your body shape on its own, which you'll feel as more tailored support and less disturbance from a partner's movement.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Fits a typical UK bedroom: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers where a UK king would dominate.
- Less partner disturbance in a shared bed: Individually encapsulated pocket springs react to each body separately, which matters more at 67.5cm each for two people sharing.
- Usable width right to the edge: Foam encapsulated edge support means you can sleep near the side without a rolling-off feeling, useful on a shared double.
- Responsive latex for side sleepers: The 50mm graphite infused latex layer cushions shoulders and hips while springing back quickly, so turning over doesn't disturb a partner.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most rooms will still take a table each side, something a UK king often rules out.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed and your room sits around the typical UK size, so a UK king would leave you squeezing past the footboard. It also suits a solo side sleeper who wants space to spread out, or a pet claiming a corner, on a medium soft surface. It's a sensible pick for a guest room too, since visiting couples expect a double.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to stretch, and your bedroom measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

Is the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 double big enough for two adults?
It works for most couples, though it's cosy: 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is less width per person than a UK single gives one sleeper. The pocket springs and quick-recovering latex help by limiting how much you feel a partner move. Taller couples should note the 190cm length before buying.
What room size do I need for the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 in a double?
We suggest 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 walking space and a wardrobe door that opens fully. If your room is larger than 2.7m x 2.9m, a UK king becomes worth considering.
Should couples pick this mattress 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, so it suits rooms under about 2.7m x 2.9m, or anyone who wants bedside tables on both sides without a squeeze. If space allows, the UK king gives each of you noticeably more width.
Does the medium soft feel work for couples of different weights?
Reasonably well, because the 1,600 pocket springs (counted on the kingsize) respond to each body independently rather than tilting you both toward the heavier sleeper. That said, this is a medium soft mattress, so a heavier partner who prefers a firm surface may find it too yielding whatever the size.
Is a double a good choice for a guest room?
Yes, and it's arguably the ideal guest size: visiting couples can share it, a solo guest gets plenty of space, and double bedding is stocked everywhere at every price. The medium soft feel is a slight gamble for guests who like firm support, but side sleepers, the most common type, should be comfortable.
