- The classic couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, this is the long standing UK standard for two people sharing.
- Fits rooms a UK king would crowd: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which most UK bedrooms manage while still leaving space for a wardrobe and drawers.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: In an average sized room the UK double usually leaves enough wall either side for a table and lamp each, which a wider bed can rule out.
- Generous for one: A solo sleeper gets the full 135cm to spread out in, with space to spare for a dog or cat who claims a corner overnight.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit, both stocked everywhere at every price point.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple furnishing a typical UK bedroom and want a shared bed that doesn't dominate the room, you're kitting out a guest room that visiting couples will use, or you sleep alone and want proper space to stretch out. It also suits a first flat or second bedroom where the bed has to share the floor with a wardrobe and chest of drawers.
Consider another size if...
You share every night and find 67.5cm each a little tight, and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each for two sharing.

Is the Millbrook Wool Sublime Pocket 3000 double big enough for two adults?
It works for most couples: the UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is the space many couples have slept in for years. If either of you is broad shouldered or a restless sleeper, the UK king offers 75cm each, 7.5cm more per person, provided your room can take the larger frame.
What room size do I need for the Millbrook Wool Sublime Pocket 3000 in a UK 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 plus room for bedside tables. If your bedroom is smaller, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for that size.
How much bigger is a UK king than this UK double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and gives two sharers 75cm each rather than 67.5cm. The extra width is noticeable for couples, although we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of room for a UK king, so measure before you size up.
What bedding fits the Millbrook Wool Sublime Pocket 3000 double?
Standard UK double bedding: double fitted sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet. That's a practical advantage of this size, because double bedding is stocked in every supermarket and department store at every price, so replacing or adding sets is cheap and simple.
Is a UK double a good choice for a guest room?
Yes, it's the usual pick. A UK double sleeps visiting couples comfortably while leaving space for wardrobes or storage in a smaller second bedroom, and at 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in it's a manageable size to get up turning stairs in older terraces or across a tight new build landing.
