Key benefits
- The classic shared size: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double gives two people 67.5cm each, enough for most couples in a typical bedroom.
- Fits rooms a king would crowd: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which leaves space for bedside tables on both sides in most UK master and second bedrooms.
- Boxed delivery suits awkward access: It arrives compressed and rolled, which means a turning staircase in an older terrace or a tight new build landing is far less of a battle.
- Pocket springs reduce partner disturbance: The springs move independently, so when one of you turns over the other feels less of it, a real advantage in a shared 135cm bed.
- Cheap and easy to dress: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm duvets are sold everywhere at every price, helpful if you're kitting out a whole home on a stretched budget.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size in a room that couldn't comfortably take a UK king, you're setting up a guest room that visiting couples will use, or you sleep alone and want proper spreading room, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes sense if you're furnishing several rooms at once and need the price kept down.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone in a small second bedroom. We'd recommend the UK king for the first, and the UK single for the second.

FAQ's
Is the Mlily Lite Pocket 1000 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each, which has been the UK standard for decades. Broad-shouldered pairs or restless sleepers may want more: the UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person. The pocket springs help here, since they limit how much movement travels across the bed.
What room size does the Mlily Lite Pocket 1000 UK double need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves enough clearance to walk round the bed and, in most rooms, to keep bedside tables on both sides, something a bigger mattress often forces you to give up in a typical UK bedroom.
Will the UK double fit up a narrow staircase?
This is where the boxed format helps. The mattress arrives rolled and compressed rather than as a rigid 135 x 190cm slab, which means it can be carried round the turning stairs of an older terrace or across a tight new build landing without the wrestling a conventional double delivery involves. Unbox it in the bedroom itself.
How does the UK double compare with the UK king for this mattress?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and gives 7.5cm less width per person for two sharing. The UK king needs a bigger room, at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance, against 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double. If your room sits between those, the UK double keeps walking space either side.
Is the Mlily Lite Pocket 1000 UK double a good guest room choice?
It's a sensible one. The UK double accommodates visiting couples where a UK single can't, and this model sits at the affordable end of the pocket-sprung market, which suits a bed that's slept in occasionally rather than nightly. The boxed delivery also makes getting it into a spare room straightforward. Compare the retailers listed on this page for current pricing.
