- Room for two, room to move around it: At 135cm wide, the UK double leaves floor space that a UK king would take up, which means walking round the bed stays easy in a typical bedroom.
- Less disturbance when sharing: Pocket springs work independently, so when your partner turns over on a UK double you're likely to feel less of it than on an open coil bed.
- Cooler for two bodies: Two sleepers generate more warmth than one, and the wool filling draws moisture away, which helps a shared UK double feel a little less stuffy overnight.
- Fits alongside bedside tables: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m giving comfortable space for a bedside table on each side.
- A sensible guest room choice: Visiting couples get a proper shared bed, and the UK double still leaves space in a spare room for a chest of drawers or a desk.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom sits around the 2.6m x 2.8m mark, or you're kitting out a spare room where visiting couples need a proper bed. It also suits a solo sleeper who likes spreading out, even with a cat claiming the bottom corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both sleep starfished, or one of you wants more length. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

How much space does each person get on a Swaledale UK double?
The Swaledale UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That suits most couples who sleep close together. The pocket springs also help here, because each spring moves on its own, so a restless partner is felt slightly less than on a traditional open coil mattress.
Will a Swaledale UK double fit my bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double. If you want a bedside table on each side plus room for a wardrobe to open, around 3m x 3m is the more comfortable norm. Measure with doors and drawers open before you order.
Swaledale UK double vs UK king: how much bigger is the king?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and gives 7.5cm more each for two sharing. The UK king needs more floor space too: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, compared with 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Is the Rest Assured Swaledale double long enough for a tall person?
The UK double is 190cm long, the same length as the UK single. If one of you is tall and your feet already reach the end of the bed, the UK king adds 10cm of length as well as extra width, which may be the better fit.
What are the Rest Assured Swaledale UK double dimensions in feet?
The Swaledale UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. That's the standard UK double footprint, so standard double sheets fit, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet covers two people comfortably.
