Layer Details
- Cover. A Belgian damask viscose sleep surface that feels silky soft against the skin. It's highly breathable, which means a fresher, drier sleeping environment through the night.
- Comfort fillings. Deep layers of sustainable, locally sourced British wool that gently contour your curves. Wool breathes brilliantly yet stays cosy, and it has a naturally bouncy quality that makes moving around easier than on foam.
- Support system. Up to 2,000 pocket springs in the king-size model, each working independently. That means targeted pressure relief and responsive support that adjusts to where your body actually needs it.

- The classic couples' footprint: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double fits comfortably in rooms where a UK king would leave you squeezing past the end of the bed.
- Bedside tables on both sides: In a typical UK bedroom of around 3m x 3m, a UK double usually leaves space for a table each, which a wider size often doesn't.
- Breathable for two: Two bodies generate more heat than one, and the wool fillings shift moisture and warmth away rather than trapping it the way foam can.
- Springs that work independently: The pocket springs respond to each sleeper separately, which means less disturbance when one of you turns over in the night.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are sold everywhere at every price point, so replacing bedding never becomes a hunt.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your bedroom is the typical British size, where a UK king would crowd the walkways. It also suits a guest room that needs to sleep visiting couples comfortably, or a solo sleeper who likes space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming one corner. Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space and it will sit happily.
Consider another size if...
You both toss and turn and 67.5cm each feels tight, or your room comfortably exceeds 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each for two sharing.

Is the Relyon Ashcott 2000 in a UK double wide enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which has been the British standard for generations. Restless sleepers, or anyone used to sprawling, may feel the limit. The UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person; if that margin matters and your room allows it, size up.
What room size do I need for the Ashcott 2000 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 and, in most rooms, a bedside table each. The mattress itself is 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, so measure your room with wardrobe and drawer clearance in mind before committing.
Does the UK double Ashcott 2000 have 2,000 pocket springs?
Not quite. The 2,000 figure refers to the king size, and Relyon doesn't publish a separate count for the UK double, though a smaller surface naturally carries fewer springs. The support system works the same way in every size: each spring moves independently, so you get pressure relief where your body actually needs it.
Should I buy the Ashcott 2000 in a UK double or a UK king?
It usually comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and it suits bedrooms where the larger size would dominate. If you're both over 6ft or you want more elbow room, the UK king gives 75cm each for two sharing, but allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space for it.
Where can I buy the Relyon Ashcott 2000 in a UK double?
Compare the retailers listed on this page. The prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so you're seeing the current UK double price rather than a snapshot. When ordering, think about delivery access too: a 26cm-deep double pocket spring mattress takes some manoeuvring up the turning stairs of older terraces or a tight new build landing.
