Layer Details
- Cover. A fine English cotton cover, spun and crafted in the North West of England. Cotton is soft against bedding and breathable, which helps keep the sleep surface fresh.
- Comfort Layer. Sustainably sourced Hampshire wool provides the cushioning here, and it's known for durability and elasticity. That means a comfort layer that should keep its feel over time rather than flattening quickly.
- Support System. A 7-zone ergonomic pocket spring system with 1000 individually responsive springs. Each zone is tailored to a specific area of the body, so you get softer comfort at the shoulders and firmer support at the hips and lower back.

- Room for two without dominating the room: At 135cm wide, this size gives couples a genuine shared bed while fitting comfortably in rooms where a UK king would crowd the walkways.
- Zoned support across the shared width: The 7-zone pocket spring system supports each sleeper independently, so a lighter partner isn't rolled towards a heavier one on the 135cm surface.
- Bedside tables on both sides: In a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, our suggested minimum, most couples can still fit a table each side of a UK double.
- The easiest size to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere, so replacing bedding is quick and cheap compared with larger sizes.
- A sensible guest room choice: A UK double sleeps visiting couples properly, and the firm natural-fill build suits a bed that gets occasional rather than nightly use.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around the typical British size, comfortably taking a 135 x 190cm footprint but with little to spare for a UK king. It also fits if you're furnishing a guest room that needs to sleep visiting couples, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch out, perhaps with a pet claiming a corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space, or one of you is tall, since the UK double gives 67.5cm each and is 190cm long. We'd recommend the UK king instead: 75cm each and 10cm longer, needing a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Millbrook Regent Wool Ortho UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, roughly the width of a cot each. Because the Regent is firm with 1000 individually responsive pocket springs, you're unlikely to roll into each other, which helps on a shared surface this size. Restless or broader-built couples may prefer the UK king.
What size room do I need for the Regent Wool Ortho 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 on both sides plus a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm, so measure your floor and mark it out with tape if you're unsure.
Should I buy the Regent 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 the UK king gives 75cm each for two sharing, 7.5cm more per person. If your room meets our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king and you share nightly, size up. Otherwise the UK double is the sensible fit.
Can the UK double Regent Wool Ortho get up narrow stairs?
It arrives flat rather than rolled and boxed, so a 135 x 190cm mattress has to turn every corner in one piece. It flexes a little but won't fold like a boxed foam mattress. Measure tight landings and turning stairs before ordering, particularly in older terraces or compact new builds.
Does the UK double suit a guest room?
Well, actually. A UK double sleeps visiting couples properly while leaving space in a smaller second bedroom for a wardrobe and drawers. The firm feel and durable wool fillings hold up well with intermittent use, and double bedding is the cheapest and easiest to keep spare. Solo guests get plenty of room to spread out too.
