Layer Details
Soft Knitted Cover
A highly breathable knitted cover that's soft to the touch, which means the sleep surface feels more luxurious than the price suggests. Breathability here helps air move away from your body through the night.
Soft White Fibres
These fillings are made from 100% polyester, chosen for good recovery and durability. In practice that means the comfort layer should spring back into shape rather than developing dips early on.
Open Coil Springs
Interlaced coils of high-tensile steel joined together in a lattice, giving broad, connected support across the whole mattress. Because the coils are linked, you'll feel a bit more movement transfer than with pocket springs, but also that classic sprung bounce.

Key benefits
- The classic couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), the UK double fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would feel cramped.
- Sensible space for two: You get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which works well for settled couples who sleep close rather than sprawled.
- A budget-friendly way to fill a bedroom: If you're kitting out a whole home at once, a traditionally sprung double keeps one room sorted without eating the budget for the rest.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked everywhere at every price, handy if you're buying bedding at the same time.
- Guest-room friendly fillings: The 100% polyester fibres are hypoallergenic, a quiet plus when visiting couples of varying sensitivities will be sleeping on it.
- Connected support across the width: The open coil lattice responds as one surface, giving that slightly bouncy traditional feel, though sharers will notice a partner's movement more than with pocket springs.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room suits a double better than a UK king, you're setting up a guest room that visiting couples will use, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner, without spending much.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum for a UK double. We'd recommend the Camellia in a UK small double instead: it's 15cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Camellia in a UK double big enough for two people?
For most settled couples, yes. Two sharers get 67.5cm each, roughly a single bed's worth of space minus a little. One caveat with this particular mattress: its open coil springs are linked, so you'll feel a partner turning over more than you would on pocket springs. Light sleepers sharing every night may prefer more width.
What room size do I need for the Camellia double?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves walking space on both sides and room to open drawers. If you want bedside tables on both sides, measure with those included before you commit.
Should I buy the Camellia in a UK double or a UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and gives 7.5cm less width each for two sharing. Since the Camellia's open coils transfer some movement, couples with the space might value the extra room a UK king brings. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is the Camellia double a good choice for a guest room?
It's a sensible one. A UK double handles visiting couples as well as solo guests, and bedding is easy: standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet, both cheap and widely stocked. The hypoallergenic polyester fillings suit guests you can't quiz about allergies, and occasional use puts little strain on a simple sprung construction.
What are the dimensions of the Camellia UK double mattress?
The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That's 15cm wider than the UK small double and 45cm wider than the UK single, with all three sharing the same length. It takes standard UK double fitted sheets, so there's no hunting for unusual bedding sizes.
