Layer Details
- Cover. A breathable Belgian damask fabric cover. It lets air move through the sleep surface rather than trapping heat against you.
- Comfort Fillings. Generous layers of British Cheviot wool, prized for its fine, soft properties. Wool breathes naturally, which means it helps keep you at a comfortable temperature year round.
- Support System. 2000 zoned pocket springs, each mounted in its own separate fabric pocket so they work completely independently. This gives targeted pressure relief and means one sleeper's movement is less likely to disturb the other.

- Room for two, room to move around it: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves you walking space around the bed in rooms of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which is our suggested minimum.
- Less disturbance in a closer space: Sharing 67.5cm each means you sleep nearer your partner, so the individually pocketed springs matter here: one person turning over is less likely to jolt the other.
- Wool helps when you're sleeping close: Two bodies on a UK double generate a fair bit of warmth, and the breathable British Cheviot wool lets that heat escape rather than building up between you.
- Suits a second bedroom: If you're fitting a bed, wardrobe and drawers into a smaller spare room, the UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king.
- A comfortable bed for visiting couples: In a guest room, the UK double gives two visitors their own side without the bed swallowing a room you also use for storage or work.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a standard UK bedroom and want bedside tables on both sides, or you're furnishing a guest room where visiting couples need a proper shared bed that still leaves space for other furniture.
Consider another size if...
Either of you is tall or likes to sprawl, and 67.5cm each feels tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

Is the Rest Assured British Wool 2000 UK double wide enough for a couple?
It gives each of you 67.5cm, which suits most couples of average build who don't mind sleeping fairly close. The pocket springs help at this width, because they reduce how much one partner's movement travels across the bed. If you already find a double cramped, the UK king adds 7.5cm each.
Will the UK double Rest Assured British Wool 2000 fit with bedside tables either side?
In most UK bedrooms, yes. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, and around 3m x 3m feels comfortable once you add a bedside table on each side and a wardrobe. Measure your room with the door and wardrobe clearance in mind before ordering.
How much space do I give up choosing the UK double over the UK king of this mattress?
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, as the UK king gives 75cm per person. In return, the UK double needs less floor space: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is the Rest Assured British Wool 2000 double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in, the same length as the UK single and UK small double. Taller sleepers whose feet reach the end may be happier on the UK king, which is 10cm longer, provided your room meets our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is the Rest Assured British Wool 2000 in a double a good choice for a guest room?
It suits a guest room well if you regularly host couples, since 67.5cm each gives both guests their own side. Bear in mind the firmer feel: guests who like a soft, sinking bed may find it a little solid. For a room that mostly hosts one person, the UK single saves 45cm of width.
