Layer Details
Plush pillow top
A plush layer stitched onto the surface of the mattress for extra comfort and support. It softens the feel of the top without changing the firm rating.
Mirapocket spring core
1000 Mirapocket springs, each in its own fabric pocket and reacting independently. That means the mattress follows your movements and helps limit disturbance to a partner.
Protective base layer
A layer under the springs that spreads their pressure across the whole surface. It's there to help the mattress last longer.

Key benefits
- Fits a typical British bedroom: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, so the UK double usually leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in a second bedroom or first flat.
- Calmer nights at 67.5cm each: Each of the 1000 Mirapocket springs reacts on its own, which means less of your partner's movement travels across a bed where you're lying fairly close together.
- More chance of two bedside tables: Because the UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king, a bedside table on both sides becomes realistic, especially in a room nearer our comfortable norm of 3m x 3m.
- Bedding that's easy to find: Standard double sheets fit the 135 x 190cm surface, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet gives two sleepers enough to share without a tug of war.
- A sensible guest room bed: Visiting couples get firm support from the springs, with the stitched pillow top softening the surface slightly for people sleeping on an unfamiliar mattress.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night in a typical UK main or second bedroom and want firm support without losing space for drawers and bedside tables, or you're setting up a guest room where visiting couples will sleep.
Consider another size if...
You already feel cramped sharing at 67.5cm each, or your bedroom comfortably allows more. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is a UK double Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top Pocket Ortho big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. You get 67.5cm each, and the independent pocket springs help limit disturbance when one of you moves. If either of you sprawls, the UK king gives 7.5cm more each, although it needs a larger room.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK double Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top Pocket Ortho?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m. Around 3m x 3m is more comfortable if you want bedside tables on both sides and room to open wardrobe doors without squeezing past the bed.
What bedding fits a UK double Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top Pocket Ortho?
Double sheets fit the 135 x 190cm surface, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet suits two sleepers. Check your fitted sheet is deep enough for the 27cm depth, because shallow sheets can pull off the corners of a pillow top.
How much smaller is the UK double than the UK king in this mattress?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. Taller sleepers who find their feet near the end of the bed may notice that difference in length more than the width.
Is a UK double big enough for one person and a pet?
Usually, yes. At 135cm wide, a solo sleeper can let a dog or cat curl up in a corner and still have room to stretch out. Because the springs react independently, a pet shifting position at night should disturb you a little less.
