Layer Details
- Coolmax sleep surface. A moisture-wicking sleep surface, which means sweat is drawn away from your body rather than sitting against your skin. The result is a fresher, drier feel through the night.
- Airmesh comfort layer. A 3D honeycomb mesh that uses your movement to push air around the mattress. In practice, this means better circulation and a cooler sleeping environment.
- Eco Comfort Fibre. Soft fibres made from recycled materials, fully recyclable at the end of the mattress's life. They mould around your contours for a plush, pressure-relieving surface feel.
- Mirapocket Springs support system. Silentnight's zoned pocket springs, designed to react to different areas of your body independently. This helps align your spine, which you'll feel as steadier posture support and less pressure build-up.
- Mini Pocket Springs. A layer of 1,000 mini springs sitting within the build for extra comfort and pressure relief. They also cut down motion transfer, so a partner's movement is less likely to wake you.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Room to share, room to live: At 135 x 190cm it fits comfortably in most UK bedrooms, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m to walk around it.
- 67.5cm each for couples: Two people sharing get 67.5cm each, enough for most couples, though restless or broad-shouldered pairs may want the UK king's extra width.
- Motion transfer kept low across a shared surface: The layer of 1,000 mini pocket springs cuts motion transfer, which matters most in a double, where a partner's turning is only ever centimetres away.
- Cooler for two bodies in one bed: Sharing a bed adds warmth, so the Coolmax surface and Airmesh layer earn more in a double than they would for a solo sleeper.
- Bedding without the hunt: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet are stocked everywhere at every price, so dressing this size stays cheap and simple.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the classic couples' size that leaves space for bedside tables on both sides, or you sleep alone and like to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat commandeering one corner. It also suits a guest room that regularly hosts visiting couples, since the medium feel is forgiving enough for most tastes.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner keep waking each other, or one of you is a sprawler. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we'd recommend it if your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 in a UK double big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. You get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the 1,000 mini pocket springs reduce motion transfer, so a restless partner is less likely to wake you. Taller or broader couples may feel a little hemmed in, in which case the UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.
What room size do I need for the UK double Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That allows walking space on both sides and, in most rooms, bedside tables too. This is our guidance rather than Silentnight's, so measure your own layout, including door swing and wardrobes, before committing.
Is the UK double version hard to get upstairs?
It can be awkward. This is a substantial 31cm-deep pocket spring mattress, and at 135cm wide the UK double needs careful handling on the turning stairs of older terraces or a tight new build landing. Two people should manage it, but if you'd be moving or rotating it alone, that weight is a genuine consideration.
Should I choose this mattress in a UK double or a UK small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, and both are the same length. For two people sharing every night, we'd take the UK double: that extra width is felt nightly. The UK small double makes sense for a solo sleeper in a compact room, needing at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
What bedding fits the Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 double?
Standard UK double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet, both stocked everywhere at every price point. One practical note: at 31cm deep, this mattress needs deep or extra-deep fitted sheets, so check the sheet's depth on the packet rather than assuming a standard double fitted sheet will stretch over it.
