- The classic couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm, this size has been the UK standard for two sharing for decades, which means frames, sheets and duvets are easy to find at any budget.
- Fits typical UK bedrooms: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which means most standard bedrooms take this size with walking space on both sides.
- Room for tables both sides: In an average room, the UK double usually leaves enough wall for a bedside table on each side, something a wider size can rule out.
- Easier through the house: A 135cm wide pocket sprung mattress is more manageable on turning staircases and tight landings than the larger sizes, useful in older terraces and compact new builds.
- Pocket springs where sharing matters: Pocket springs respond to each sleeper individually, which means one of you turning over is less likely to disturb the other across the 135cm width.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around the typical UK size, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a pet claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, since 135 x 190cm is the size most guests expect and most spare rooms can take.
Consider another size if...
You and a partner both want more personal space and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the Millbrook Regal Pocket 1500 in a UK king instead, which gives 75cm each for two sharing.

Is the Millbrook Regal Pocket 1500 double big enough for two adults?
It works for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is comfortable if neither of you is especially broad or restless. The pocket sprung construction helps here, since springs respond to each sleeper separately. If you both like room to sprawl, the UK king gives 75cm each instead.
What room size do I need for the Regal Pocket 1500 in a UK double?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space either side and, in most layouts, a bedside table on each side. This is our guidance rather than Millbrook's, so measure your own room, including where doors and wardrobes open.
Should I get the Regal Pocket 1500 in a double or a king?
It comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it fits where a king would dominate. If your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m and you share every night, the UK king's extra 7.5cm each side is a genuine upgrade. Smaller than that, stick with the UK double.
Will the UK double get up a narrow staircase?
Usually, yes. At 135cm wide it's the most forgiving of the shared sizes on turning stairs in older terraces and tight new build landings, and noticeably easier than a UK king or UK super king. Millbrook doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so plan for two people to carry it and measure any awkward turns first.
What bedding fits the Millbrook Regal Pocket 1500 double?
Standard UK double bedding: fitted sheets sized 135 x 190cm and a 200 x 200cm double duvet. This is the most widely stocked bedding size in Britain, available at every price point, which keeps the ongoing cost of dressing the bed lower than for a UK king or UK super king.
