Layer Details
- A sensible fit for typical UK bedrooms: At 135cm wide, this double leaves space for a wardrobe and a chest of drawers where a UK king would start to crowd the walls.
- Pocket springs matter more when you share: The 1600 pocket springs move independently, which means a partner turning over on their side of the double is less likely to wake you.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: In a room around 3m x 3m, a UK double usually allows a bedside table each, so nobody balances a lamp on the floor.
- Bedding you can buy anywhere: Double sheets and 200 x 200cm double duvets are stocked at every price level, so dressing this mattress stays cheap and simple.
- A medium feel that suits shared beds: Two people rarely have identical preferences, and this mattress's medium firmness is a reasonable compromise for a couple settling on one surface.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom and want a bed for two without giving the mattress the whole room, or you're furnishing a guest room that needs to sleep visiting couples comfortably. It also suits a solo sleeper who likes space to spread out, especially if a dog or cat has quietly claimed a corner of the bed.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to starfish, because 67.5cm each for two people sharing can feel snug. If your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m, we'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

Is a UK double Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 big enough for two adults?
It works for most couples, with the caveat that you get 67.5cm each for two people sharing. The 1600 pocket springs help here, since each spring moves independently and you feel less of your partner's movement. If either of you sleeps restlessly or you both want more personal space, the UK king adds 15cm of width.
What room size do I need for the Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That larger figure gives you walking space on both sides of the 135 x 190cm mattress plus room for bedside tables, which most couples find worth having. These are our recommendations rather than Silentnight's.
Should I get the Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 in a double or a king?
It comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it fits where a UK king would dominate. If your bedroom allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m and you share the bed every night, the extra width of the UK king is a real comfort gain.
Is the double a good guest room choice for this mattress?
Yes, it's arguably the safest guest room size: it sleeps visiting couples, and the medium feel is a middle ground that suits most people for a few nights. It also fits alongside a wardrobe in a typical spare room, and double bedding is easy and cheap to keep spare.
