Layer Details
- Tencel™ Lyocell sleep surface. A silky, soft-touch material woven to allow airflow, which means heat is less likely to build up where your body meets the mattress. It also moves moisture away from you as you sleep.
- Platinum comfort layer. Silentnight says this layer is 10x more breathable than memory foam while offering the same pressure relief. In practice that should mean a cocooning, cushioned feel without the warmth memory foam is known for.
- British Wool Comfort Layer. Wool from Cheviot sheep, a flexible and breathable material that helps keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. It's the natural heart of this mattress.
- Mirapocket® springs and mini pocket springs. 1,200 Mirapocket® springs adjust to your movements through the night, which means support stays consistent as you shift position. A further 1,000 mini pocket springs add comfort and increase breathability.
Layer details from silentnight.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- The classic shared footprint: At 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, it gives a couple a proper shared bed while leaving floor space for the rest of the furniture.
- Room for tables both sides: In a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, our suggested minimum, most couples can still fit bedside tables on both sides of the bed.
- Wool breathability for two: Two bodies generate more heat than one, and the breathable British wool layer helps stop that warmth building up between you overnight.
- Support that stays put when a partner moves: The 1,200 Mirapocket® springs adjust to movement individually, which means you feel less of your partner turning over than you would on an open coil.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and duvets fit, though at 29cm deep this mattress needs deep fitted sheets, so check yours before it arrives.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your bedroom is the typical UK size, big enough for a double but tight for anything larger. Or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes sense for a guest room that hosts visiting couples, where the wool layer's temperature regulation suits guests you can't ask about their sleeping habits.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both sleep warm or restless and want more than 67.5cm each. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Silentnight British Wool 2200 double big enough for two people?
Yes, for most couples. Two people sharing a UK double get 67.5cm each, which has been the standard shared arrangement in British bedrooms for generations. The pocket springs help here too, keeping support consistent on your side when your partner shifts. If either of you is broad shouldered or a restless sleeper, sizing up to the UK king buys 15cm of extra width.
What room size do I need for the Silentnight British Wool 2200 in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That minimum leaves enough clearance to walk round the bed and open drawers, and in most rooms it still allows bedside tables on both sides. Measure with the wardrobe doors open before you decide, as that's usually the pinch point.
Should I buy the Silentnight British Wool 2200 in a double or a king?
It depends on your room and how you share. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and it suits rooms where a king would dominate. If your bedroom offers at least 2.7m x 2.9m and you'd both use the extra width, the UK king is the more comfortable long-term choice for two.
Will a double mattress fit up a narrow staircase?
Usually, but it deserves a check. At 135cm wide and 29cm deep, this is a substantial sprung mattress, and turning stairs in older terraces or tight new build landings can be awkward. Measure your narrowest doorway and any turn on the stairs, and confirm the delivery arrangements with the retailer before ordering.
