Layer Details
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted finish that adds a touch of cosiness, which means the firm surface underneath doesn't feel harsh against you. It's designed for airflow and breathability, helpful if you tend to sleep warm.
- Memory foam layer. A 5cm layer of memory foam that adapts to your body and moulds around your shape. This is what softens the firm feel at pressure points like hips and shoulders.
- Soft white fibre layer. A small fibre layer that works with the tufted finish to smooth out the sleeping surface. You'll feel it as a slightly softer top rather than foam sitting straight on firm padding.
- Dense soft white fibre layer. Densely packed fibres that reinforce the firmness of the mattress. This is where the firm character really comes from, sitting between the comfort layers and the springs.
- Pocket springs. 1,500 individual springs encased in cloth pockets, so each one responds to your body independently and movement transfers less across the bed. Firmer springs on the outer rows, which Relyon calls Calibar Edge, limit dipping when you sit or sleep near the side.

- Less disturbance at close quarters: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, you lie near one another, and the individually pocketed springs mean one person's turns travel less across the bed.
- The whole width stays usable: Firmer springs on the outer rows, which Relyon calls Calibar Edge, limit dipping near the sides, so neither of you gets nudged towards the middle.
- Sized for a typical bedroom: The 135 x 190cm footprint suits rooms from our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m, and around 3m x 3m leaves comfortable space for a bedside table on each side.
- Simple to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are easy to find, which helps if you're kitting out a first flat or a spare room in one go.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, you both prefer a firm surface with a little contouring on top, or you're furnishing a guest room where visiting couples need a proper shared bed rather than a squeeze.
Consider another size if...
You're both tall or broad and 67.5cm each already feels cramped. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Will a Relyon Rufford UK double fit in a small bedroom?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving you comfortable space for bedside tables on both sides. If your room is tighter, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for that size.
Is the Relyon Rufford UK double good for couples who disturb each other?
It helps. You get 67.5cm each in the UK double, so you're close, but the pocket springs respond independently and movement transfers less across the bed. The firmer outer rows also mean the lighter sleeper can lie near the edge without rolling in. If you want more distance between you, the UK king adds space.
How much smaller is the Rufford UK double than the UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. For two people sharing, that works out at 7.5cm less each. That gap is small for most couples, but it matters more if either of you is tall. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
What are the Relyon Rufford UK double dimensions in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. The mattress is 26cm deep, so check your fitted sheets have deep enough pockets before you buy them.
Is a firm UK double a good choice for a guest room?
For visiting couples, yes, with one caveat. The firm feel suits back and front sleepers well, but a lightweight side sleeper may find it a little unforgiving for more than a night or two. The UK double fits most spare rooms and uses standard double bedding.
