Key benefits
- A shared size that fits the room: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in a typical bedroom, which a larger size often doesn't.
- Independent springs matter more when sharing: The 1400 pocket springs move separately, which means a partner turning over at 3am is less likely to wake you.
- 67.5cm each for two sharing: That's the standard couples' allowance, comfortable for most, although two broad-shouldered sleepers may find it a little snug.
- Firm support across the full width: The ortho-firm surface holds its shape edge to edge, useful when two people are spread across a shared bed.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere, handy if you're furnishing several rooms at once on a stretched budget.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the traditional couples' size in a room where anything bigger would dominate, or you sleep alone and want space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, since the firm feel tends to divide opinion less than a very soft mattress would.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both want more than 67.5cm each of personal space. The Athens 1400 doesn't come in a UK king, so we'd recommend the UK super king instead, allowing a room of at least 3m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Silentnight Athens 1400 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. Two people sharing get 67.5cm of width each, the long-standing UK standard, and the pocket springs reduce the disturbance you feel when your partner moves. If either of you is tall or you both sleep spread out, the extra width of the UK super king may suit you better.
What room size do I need for the Athens 1400 in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves enough clearance to walk round the bed and, in most rooms, fit bedside tables on both sides. In a second bedroom or a first flat, you should still have space left for a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
Does the Silentnight Athens 1400 come in a UK king?
No. This mattress is made in UK single, small double, double and super king only. If the UK double feels too small, the next step up is the UK super king, which is 45cm wider and 10cm longer, so check your room can take it: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m.
Will a UK double Athens 1400 get up a narrow staircase?
The mattress measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, and as a firm pocket spring design it won't fold the way some foam mattresses do. Before ordering, measure any turning stairs in an older terrace or a tight new build landing, plus doorways along the route, against those dimensions.
Is a double Athens 1400 worth it for one person?
It can be. Sleeping alone, you get the full 135cm of width to yourself, generous room to stretch out or share with a pet. The firm surface suits back and front sleepers in particular. If your room is on the small side, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length, needing at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
