- Shared sleep without shared movement: With two people on 135cm of width, the 2500 pocket springs matter: each side compresses on its own, so a restless partner disturbs you less.
- 67.5cm each for two sharing: Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width apiece, enough for most couples, although it is a slightly cosier arrangement than the larger sizes offer.
- Fits the typical UK bedroom: We suggest a minimum room of 2.6m x 2.8m, which leaves space for bedside tables on both sides in most standard doubles.
- Firm support for two body weights: A firm tension holds its shape under two sleepers, useful for couples who find softer mattresses sag towards the middle.
- A contained step up in price: Millbrook's pricing across sizes is fairly close, so the UK double sits comfortably in the middle without the jump some brands charge for width.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your bedroom is a standard UK double, roughly 2.6m x 2.8m or a little more, where a wider mattress would crowd the walkways. It also suits solo sleepers who want space to stretch out, or perhaps share with a pet, and firm-mattress couples who want pocket springs to soak up a partner's movement.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to spread out, since 67.5cm each is a modest allowance. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of bedroom for it.

Is the Millbrook Allure Firm Pocket 2500 in a UK double suitable for couples?
Yes, the UK double is the traditional size for two sharing, giving 67.5cm of width each. The 2500 pocket springs help here, isolating movement so one sleeper's turning is less noticeable to the other. Broader couples, or anyone who sprawls, may prefer the UK king, which gives 75cm each.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m. That accommodates the 135 x 190cm mattress with enough clearance to walk round the bed and, in most rooms, fit bedside tables on both sides. If your room is smaller, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Should I choose the Allure Firm Pocket 2500 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. If your bedroom comfortably exceeds the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for the UK king, the extra space per sleeper is usually worth having. In a tighter room, the UK double leaves the space around the bed usable.
Will a UK double mattress get up a narrow staircase?
A 135cm-wide mattress will turn most staircases, but pocket sprung mattresses do not fold or roll like foam, so tight turns in older terraces or narrow new build landings can be awkward. Measure your stairwell and any tight corners before ordering, and check the delivery service offered by the retailers listed on this page.
Is the UK double a good size for a guest room?
It is the safest choice if visiting couples will use the room, since it sleeps two properly rather than snugly. The firm feel of this Millbrook also suits guests of unknown preference better than a very soft mattress would. If the room only ever hosts one person and space is tight, the UK small double saves 15cm of width.
