Silentnight Airmesh 1600 Eco Comfort Double Mattress
The Silentnight Airmesh 1600 Eco Comfort is a pocket spring mattress with a medium firm feel, which means the springs respond to your body individually rather than moving as one unit, so you should feel less disturbance from a restless partner.

Layer Details
Coolmax cover
A soft, tactile cover made with Coolmax, which is designed to feel cool against the skin. It gives you a smooth, fresh-feeling surface to settle onto.
Comfort Breathe Fibre
A breathable fibre filling with a soft feel. It adds a little cushioning under the cover while letting air move through, so heat is less likely to build up.
1000 mini pocket springs
1,000 mini pocket springs that respond instantly to small movements through the night. This means the surface adjusts as you shift, rather than pushing back in one go.
Airmesh layer
A 3D honeycomb design that uses your body movement to push air around inside the mattress. The aim is better air circulation, which should help you stay fresher as you sleep.
600 Mirapocket springs
600 pocket springs that give deeper support and are designed to improve posture. This is the layer that helps keep your hips and spine in line.
Support pad
A supportive foundation for the layers above. You won't feel it directly, but it gives the springs a stable base to work from.

Key benefits
- Fits most UK bedrooms: At 135 x 190cm the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers where a UK king would dominate the room.
- Motion isolation matters most here: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the pocket springs' ability to absorb a partner's movement counts for more than in any larger size.
- Medium firm across the shared surface: The medium firm feel keeps hips level for back and stomach sleepers, so neither of you rolls toward the middle.
- Room for bedside tables both sides: In a typical double bedroom this footprint usually still allows a table on each side, which a wider bed often rules out.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere, at every price point.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want a size that leaves your bedroom usable, or you sleep alone and like room to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes sense for a guest room that hosts visiting couples, where the medium firm feel is a safe bet for sleepers you can't ask in advance.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like space, or one of you is tall, since the UK double is 190cm long. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and needs a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Silentnight Airmesh 1600 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket springs stop one person's movement travelling across the bed, which helps when space is this shared. If either of you is broad-shouldered or a restless sleeper, the UK king's extra 15cm of width is a worthwhile upgrade.
What room size do I need for the Silentnight Airmesh 1600 double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That guidance is ours, not Silentnight's. At the minimum you'll still fit a wardrobe and walk around the bed; the comfortable norm allows bedside tables on both sides without the room feeling cramped.
Should I get the Silentnight Airmesh 1600 in a double or a king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. Choose the UK double if your room is close to our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or if you want tables both sides in a modest bedroom. Sharing every night with room to spare? The UK king suits you better, given at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space.
Is the UK double a good choice for a guest room?
It's the safest guest size, since it sleeps visiting couples as well as solo guests, and the medium firm feel suits most people without being tailored to anyone. It takes more floor space than a UK single, so check your spare room against our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum first.
Will a double mattress fit up the stairs in an older house?
Usually, yes. Mattresses flex around turns in a way bed frames can't, and at 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in the UK double is the size most staircases were expected to handle. Tight new build landings and narrow terrace turns can still be awkward, so measure the tightest point before delivery day.
