- The classic shared size: At 135cm wide, two people sharing get 67.5cm each, enough for most couples who sleep reasonably close.
- Fits most UK bedrooms: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which the majority of British bedrooms can offer with space left for wardrobes and drawers.
- Room for bedside tables: Because a UK double is 15cm narrower than a UK king, many rooms that couldn't take a king with tables both sides will manage a double comfortably.
- Bedding is cheap and everywhere: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked at every price point, so dressing the bed costs less than it would in the larger sizes.
- Easier to get upstairs: A 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in mattress turns a terraced staircase or tight new build landing more readily than a UK king or super king would.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom and want the established shared size, you're furnishing a guest room that visiting couples will use, or you sleep alone and want genuine room to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming their usual corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more personal space than 67.5cm each, and your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

Is the Sealy Arden Elevate Ultra double big enough for two adults?
It gives two people sharing 67.5cm each, which suits most couples, although if either of you is broad shouldered or a restless sleeper you may feel the limit. Sealy doesn't publish firmness or construction details for this mattress, so we can't say how the surface itself feels; the width, though, is the standard couples' allowance.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK double?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allowance covers walking space and bedside tables on both sides. If your room is smaller, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for that size.
Should I buy the Sealy Arden Elevate Ultra in a double or a king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it comes down to your room. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king; below that, the UK double leaves you space to actually move around the bed. Couples who value personal space and have the room should size up.
Will a UK double fit up a narrow staircase?
Usually, yes. At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in it's one of the easier sizes to manoeuvre through older terraces and tight new build landings, and noticeably less awkward than a UK king. Measure your stairwell and any turns before ordering all the same, and check the retailer's delivery access guidance for this mattress.
What bedding do I need for this size?
Standard double fitted sheets for the 135 x 190cm footprint, paired with a 200 x 200cm double duvet. Both are among the most widely stocked bedding sizes in the UK, so you'll find options at every price, which is a small but real saving over kitting out a UK king or super king.
