Layer Details
- Comfort Layer. Natural Hampshire fleece wool, specially selected for being thicker and fuller than standard wool, which means a springy, resilient feel underneath you. Wool also has natural temperature-regulating properties, so it works across seasons.
- Comfort Layer. Natural cotton fibres create a fresh sleeping environment, regulating body temperature and wicking away moisture. In practice, that means less of the clammy feeling you can get with synthetic layers.
- Support System. 2000 individually hand-nested pocket springs work actively to distribute personalised support to each part of the body. Because each spring moves on its own, you're less likely to feel a partner shifting during the night.

- The classic couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), the UK double fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would crowd the walkways.
- 2000 springs shared between two: The hand-nested pocket springs move independently, which means a lighter partner is less likely to feel a heavier one turning over in a shared double.
- Room for bedside tables: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m and most bedrooms will still take a table on each side, with drawer space to spare.
- Wool and cotton for two warm bodies: Two sleepers in 135cm generate heat, and the Hampshire fleece wool and moisture-wicking cotton help keep the shared surface from feeling clammy.
- Easier to turn than the bigger sizes: This mattress needs regular rotating, and a UK double is noticeably more manageable up a terraced staircase or a tight landing than a UK king.
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 breathing space that a bigger mattress would swallow. It also makes sense for a guest room that hosts visiting couples, or for a solo sleeper who likes to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner, and wants firm support under the whole surface.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, giving 75cm each for two sharing, so we'd recommend the UK king instead.

Is a UK double Millbrook Wool Luxury Ortho big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the 2000 pocket springs respond to each sleeper independently, so different weights are supported separately. Taller sleepers should note the 190cm length. If either of you is over about six foot, or you both sprawl, the UK king gives 75cm each and 10cm more length.
What room size do I need for the Millbrook Ortho 2000 in a double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space on both sides and, in most rooms, a bedside table each. This mattress needs turning, so a little clear space around the bed makes that job far less awkward too.
Will the UK double fit up a narrow staircase?
At 135 x 190cm it's the more forgiving of the shared sizes for older terraces and tight new build landings, and easier to angle round a turn than a UK king. Millbrook doesn't publish a boxed size or weight for delivery, so measure your stairwell and any tight corners, and check the retailer's own access guidance before ordering.
Should I get this mattress in a UK double or a UK king?
It comes down to your room and how you sleep. The UK double gives 7.5cm less width each than the UK king, which matters if one of you is restless, but it suits rooms where a king would dominate. For the UK king, allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m; below that, the UK double is the better fit.
Is the double a good guest room choice for this mattress?
It's a strong fit. The UK double handles visiting couples and solo guests alike, and the medium firm feel divides opinion less over a weekend stay than it might over years of nightly use. Double bedding is stocked everywhere, so dressing a guest bed stays cheap and simple. Compare the retailers listed on this page for the current price.
