- Made for two in a typical room: At 135cm wide it fits comfortably in most UK bedrooms, where a UK king can leave you squeezing past the footboard.
- 67.5cm each for couples: Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, which means the independent pocket springs can support each of you separately rather than as one shape.
- Less disturbance across the bed: The 1,000 pocket springs move individually, so a partner turning over on their side of the double is less likely to wake you.
- Room for bedside tables: In a room around 2.6m x 2.8m or larger, the UK double usually leaves space for a table on each side, which a UK king often removes.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are sold everywhere, so replacing bedding is cheap and simple.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around the typical UK size, where the UK double leaves walking space and bedside tables on both sides. It also suits a solo sleeper who spreads out, or shares with a cat or dog that claims a corner, and it's a sensible pick for a guest room that hosts visiting couples.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the Millbrook Luxury 1000 Ortho in a UK king instead, which gives 75cm each for two sharing.

Is the UK double Millbrook Luxury 1000 Ortho big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, and the 1,000 pocket springs respond to each of you independently, so you're less aware of a restless partner. Broad-shouldered sleepers, or couples used to more space, may find it a little snug, in which case the UK king gives 75cm each.
What room size do I need for the Millbrook Luxury 1000 Ortho in a double?
The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm. We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which leaves space to walk round the bed and open drawers. In a room that size the UK double usually allows bedside tables on both sides, something a wider mattress would often rule out.
Should I buy 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, and gives 7.5cm less width each for two sharing. If your bedroom measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m and you both like space, the UK king is the better buy; smaller rooms suit the UK double.
Is the double a good size for a guest room?
Yes, it's arguably the ideal guest size. At 135 x 190cm it sleeps visiting couples properly, fits the smaller rooms guest beds usually occupy, and double bedding is cheap and stocked everywhere. The firmer ortho-style feel is a slight gamble for guests you can't ask in advance, though most adults tolerate a firmer surface fine for short stays.
Is the UK double worth it for one person?
Often, yes. Sleeping alone you get the full 135cm to yourself, which suits anyone who spreads out or shares with a pet that settles on one corner. The UK double is 45cm wider than the UK single but the same length, so you gain a lot of sprawling room without needing a much bigger bedroom.
