- A shared size for ordinary rooms: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would crowd the walls, and we suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: The double's 4ft 6in width usually leaves enough wall on either side for a table and lamp each, which matters if you both read in bed.
- Springs plus foam at the entry point of the range: You get the same 16cm pocket springs and memory foam top as the larger sizes, in the most affordable footprint Otty offers for this model.
- 67.5cm each when you share: Two people get 67.5cm each across the mattress, workable for most couples, although restless or broader sleepers may feel the squeeze.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit, and both are stocked everywhere at every price point.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom and want the traditional shared size rather than a bed that dominates the room, you're kitting out a guest room that needs to sleep visiting pairs comfortably, or you're furnishing a whole home at once and want the springs-plus-foam feel of a hybrid in its most affordable size.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to spread out, or one of you sleeps restlessly. With 67.5cm each in the UK double, we'd recommend the UK king instead: 15cm wider and 10cm longer, a noticeable difference every night.

Is the UK double the smallest size the Otty Essential Hybrid comes in?
Yes. Otty makes this model in UK double, UK king and UK super king only, with no single or small double. If you're shopping for a child's room or a narrow box room, this mattress won't fit the brief, but for couples the double is the natural entry point to the range.
How much bigger is the UK king than the double for the Otty Essential Hybrid?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. That extra width is the figure that matters for couples: it goes straight into elbow room. The double makes sense where the room is modest; if you have space to spare, the UK king removes the compromise.
Will the Otty Essential Hybrid double give a couple enough space?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, which suits most couples who sleep fairly settled. The memory foam top helps here, softening the surface where shoulders and hips press in. If either of you moves around a lot at night, the UK king's extra 15cm of width is a better long-term buy.
What room size do I need for a double Otty Essential Hybrid?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. At 135 x 190cm, the double usually leaves room for a wardrobe, drawers and bedside tables on both sides in an average UK bedroom, which is exactly why it remains the default shared size.
Is the Otty Essential Hybrid double a good choice for a guest room?
It's a sensible fit. The double sleeps visiting couples without swallowing a spare room, and the hybrid build, pocket springs with a memory foam top, is a safe middle ground for guests whose preferences you don't know. Compare the retailers listed on this page for the current double price.
