- A side each for two: At 67.5cm each for two people sharing, a UK double gives couples their own half, although broader or restless partners may find it a little snug.
- Suits an ordinary bedroom: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which means most UK main bedrooms and plenty of second bedrooms can take a UK double without feeling swamped.
- Space for bedside tables: Allowing around 3m x 3m gives you walking room on both sides, so bedside tables stay usable rather than jammed against the bed.
- Matches a standard 4ft 6in frame: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double lines up with the traditional British frame size, which means an existing bed or headboard is likely to fit.
- Roomy for one plus a pet: The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, so a solo sleeper with a dog or cat claiming a corner still has room to stretch out.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner in an average-sized bedroom and want space left for furniture beside the bed, or you're setting up a guest room for visiting couples. It also fits your situation if you sleep alone but like room to spread out, with a pet taking one corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner regularly disturb each other, or one of you is tall enough to feel the 190cm length. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

How much space does each person get on a Rest Assured Silk Pocket 1400 UK double?
Each sleeper gets 67.5cm when two people share a UK double. That suits most couples, although if you both sleep on your side with elbows out, it can feel a little close. The UK king gives 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person.
Will a UK double Silk Pocket 1400 fit a small bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving comfortable room either side. Near the minimum, slim bedside tables work better than deep ones. If your room is smaller than 2.6m x 2.8m, the UK small double is the easier fit, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Rest Assured Silk Pocket 1400 UK double or UK king: how much bigger is the king?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. For couples that means 7.5cm more each, plus extra legroom for taller sleepers. The trade-off is floor space: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, against 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Does a UK double Silk Pocket 1400 fit a 4ft 6in bed frame?
Yes. The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, or 135 x 190cm, which is the standard British double frame size. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering all the same, because a frame that runs slightly large can leave a gap that lets the mattress shift.
Is the Silk Pocket 1400 in a UK double a good choice for a guest room?
For a guest room that hosts visiting couples, a UK double gives two people a proper bed without taking over the space. If the room also doubles as an office or storage space, the UK small double would suit you better, as it is 15cm narrower while keeping the same length.
