- Room for two without dominating the room: At 135cm wide, this size gives couples a proper shared bed while leaving space for wardrobes and drawers in a typical UK bedroom.
- Pocket springs matter more when sharing: Each spring responds individually, which means a restless partner's movements are less likely to travel across the 135cm width and wake you.
- Fits the widest range of frames and bedding: The UK double is Britain's standard size, so frames, sheets and 200 x 200cm duvets are stocked everywhere at every price.
- Bedside tables on both sides, usually: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space and most rooms will still take a table each side, which a UK king often rules out.
- A firm feel across a shared surface: The firm tension holds its shape under two sleepers, so the person nearer the middle isn't rolled towards a heavier partner.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a bigger bed would crowd the space, you're furnishing a first flat or second bedroom and need the bed to leave room for a wardrobe and drawers, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room comfortably exceeds 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, giving 75cm each for two sharing.

Is a UK double Millbrook Allure Firm Pocket 1000 big enough for two adults?
It works for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket sprung design keeps one sleeper's movement from disturbing the other. If either of you is broad shouldered or a sprawler, the UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less each.
What room size do I need for the Millbrook Allure Firm Pocket 1000 in a 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 Millbrook's, and it leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers. In most UK bedrooms it also leaves space for a bedside table on each side.
Should I get the Millbrook Allure Firm Pocket 1000 in a double or a king?
Choose the UK double if your room is on the smaller side or you want the widest choice of frames and bedding. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, which suits taller sleepers and couples who want more personal space, but we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of room for it.
Will a double mattress get up the stairs in an older house?
At 135 x 190cm, a UK double is generally easier to turn on the tight stairs of older terraces and narrow new build landings than a UK king or UK super king. Millbrook doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so if access is tight, measure your stairwell and check with the retailer before ordering.
Is the double the cheapest way to get this mattress for a couple?
The UK double is the smallest size of this mattress that comfortably sleeps two every night, so it's usually the least expensive genuine couples' option in the range. The UK small double is 15cm narrower and suits occasional sharing better than nightly use. Prices change, so compare the retailers listed on this page.
