Layer Details
- Cover. A quilted cover enriched with aloe vera and antimicrobial properties, which means a fresher, softer sleep surface. It's a small touch, but a pleasant one for allergy-prone sleepers.
- Comfort Fillings. Eco Comfort Fibres, breathable sustainable fibres that are 100% recyclable, sit alongside a natural silk layer known for its softness and lightweight feel. Together they give the surface its gentle, airy cushioning.
- Support System. 2000 individually pocketed springs work independently, which means tailored support where your body presses hardest, typically hips and shoulders. This also helps limit motion transfer between partners.
- Base. A sturdy, non-slip base keeps the mattress stable on your bed frame. Nothing fancy, but it does its job.

- Room to share, room to move: At 135 x 190cm, it usually leaves space for a wardrobe and a chest of drawers in a modest bedroom, where a UK king would start to crowd the floor.
- Springs that help at close quarters: With 67.5cm each you lie fairly close together, so 2000 individually pocketed springs, which move separately, help stop one partner's turning from reaching the other.
- Space for bedside tables: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m comfortable, which in most rooms still allows a bedside table on each side of the bed.
- Simple to kit out: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit this mattress, and bedding in the UK double is easy to find at any budget.
- A sensible spare room choice: Visiting couples get a proper shared bed rather than a squeeze, without the UK double taking over a second bedroom you also use for storage or work.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom sits at or a little above our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or you're furnishing a spare room where visiting couples need a comfortable shared bed and you'd still like floor space for a wardrobe.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner already feel cramped at 67.5cm each, or one of you sprawls. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 7.5cm more each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

How much space does each person get on a Minerva 2000 UK double?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each. That's snug rather than spacious, so the independent pocket springs help, because they respond to each sleeper separately and limit the bounce when your partner shifts. If you'd like more room, the UK king gives 7.5cm more each.
Will a Minerva 2000 UK double fit a small bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. At the lower end you'll likely fit a slim bedside table on each side and still walk round the bed, though a large headboard or chunky frame will eat into that.
Is the Minerva 2000 UK double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, which is 6ft 3in. That suits most adults, but if either of you is tall enough for your feet to reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is the Rest Assured Minerva 2000 in a UK double good for a guest room?
Yes, for most spare rooms. It gives a visiting couple a proper shared bed at 67.5cm each, and the UK double footprint usually leaves space for drawers or a desk. If the room is smaller than 2.6m x 2.8m, the UK small double may fit better.
How much wider is the Minerva 2000 UK double than the UK small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider, and both are the same length. That extra width matters most for two people sharing every night. For a solo sleeper or a tight room, the UK small double is a reasonable alternative, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
