Layer Details
- Quilted Cover. The cover and fillings are stitched together to create a patterned comfort quilt layer. This gives the sleep surface a soft, slightly cushioned first impression before you reach the firmer support beneath.
- Advanced Comfort Foam. A breathable foam that gently contours to your body shape, which means personalised comfort and tension relief at the shoulders and hips. It acts as the buffer between you and the spring unit below.
- Open Coil Springs. Interlaced coils of high-tensile steel joined together in a lattice provide the core body support. Because the coils are connected, the whole surface works as one, giving that traditional, evenly firm feel.

- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm you get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, enough for most couples who sleep fairly close.
- Fits rooms a king would crowd: We suggest a minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m, which leaves space for bedside tables on both sides in most UK bedrooms.
- Even support across the width: The interlaced open coil unit works as one surface, so the middle of a shared bed feels as supported as the edges.
- Budget-friendly for a full home: If you're kitting out several rooms at once, a low-cost UK double keeps the main bedroom sensible without eating the whole budget.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are sold everywhere, so bedding costs stay as modest as the mattress.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size in a room where a UK king would dominate, or you're furnishing a first flat or whole house on a tight budget and need a dependable double without a big outlay. It also suits a guest room that regularly hosts visiting couples, where the medium firm feel pleases most people.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are easily disturbed, since open coils transfer movement and 67.5cm each leaves little separation. We'd recommend the UK king instead: 15cm wider, 10cm longer, and we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Zante Ortho in a UK double big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. You each get 67.5cm of width, which works if you sleep reasonably close. Bear in mind the interlaced open coil unit transfers movement more than pocket springs, so a restless partner is more noticeable on a shared double. If one of you is a light sleeper, the UK king gives 75cm each.
Will the Zante Ortho UK double fit in a small bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space on both sides and, in most rooms, bedside tables too. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, so measure your wall space with that in mind.
Is the UK double Zante Ortho a good guest room mattress?
It's a sensible choice. The UK double handles visiting couples as well as solo guests, and the medium firm feel sits in the range most people find acceptable for a few nights. At the affordable end of the market, it does the job without tying up money in a room used occasionally.
How much bigger is the UK double than the small double Zante Ortho?
The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, and both are the same 190cm length. That extra width matters more for couples than solo sleepers: shared every night, 15cm is the difference between comfortable and cosy. For the UK small double we suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
Does the Zante Ortho double suit a solo sleeper?
Very well, if the room allows it. On your own you have the full 135cm to spread out, which is 45cm more than the UK single, and plenty even with a dog or cat claiming a corner. The medium firm feel gives consistent support wherever you end up across the surface.
