Layer Details
- Quilted pillowtop. A quilted pillowtop sits on top with an advanced breathable sleep system, designed to prevent overheating through the night. It gives the mattress its immediate soft, cushioned feel.
- Refresh Fibres. Vertical Refresh Fibres quickly channel moisture away from your body, which means less of that clammy feeling if you tend to sleep warm. They work through the night to prevent overheating.
- British wool and fresh fibres. Layers of British wool are blended with sustainable fresh fibres, arranged horizontally so moisture naturally evaporates through the breathable mesh border. Wool is a natural temperature regulator, so this layer helps in both warm and cool conditions.
- Pocket spring support system. Individual pocket springs adjust to your body weight, giving support where you need it. Because each spring moves independently, you get ease of movement and an undisturbed night's sleep, useful if you share the bed.

- A shared size that fits real rooms: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, which most UK bedrooms can manage with bedside tables on both sides.
- 67.5cm each for two sharing: Each of you gets 67.5cm of that soft quilted pillowtop, enough for most couples who sleep reasonably close.
- Independent springs matter more when sharing: The pocket springs move independently, which means one of you turning over on this softer surface is less likely to wake the other.
- Cooling built in for two bodies: Two sleepers generate more heat than one, so the British wool and moisture-wicking Refresh Fibres do more useful work in a double than in a solo size.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are stocked everywhere at every price point.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits comfortably above our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also makes a sensible guest room choice for visiting couples, since the soft pillowtop feel is easy for most side sleepers to settle into for a few nights.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like to sprawl, or one of you is a restless sleeper and 67.5cm each feels tight. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is a UK double Nimbus 2000 big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. You get 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the independent pocket springs limit motion transfer, so a partner shifting on the soft pillowtop shouldn't disturb you. If either of you is broad-shouldered or spreads out in the night, the UK king adds 15cm of width and 10cm of length.
What room size do I need for the Nimbus 2000 in a double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves walking room and space for bedside tables on both sides, which matters if you're both getting in and out on your own side. The mattress itself measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in.
Should I get the Nimbus 2000 in a double or a king?
It usually comes down to your room. The UK double suits spaces from 2.6m x 2.8m, while the UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m and is 15cm wider and 10cm longer. Couples who value personal space tend to prefer the UK king; if the room would feel dominated by it, the UK double is the sensible call.
Will a double mattress fit up the stairs in an older house?
Usually, yes, though a 34.5cm deep pillowtop mattress at 135cm wide is a bulky item on a turning staircase in an older terrace or a tight new build landing. Measure your narrowest turn before ordering, and check the retailer's delivery terms via the listings on this page, as the prices and retailers shown here update as they change.
Is this soft double a good choice for a guest room?
It works well for one. The UK double accommodates visiting couples, and the softer feel suits the side sleeping most guests default to, with Allergy UK approval a bonus for visitors with sensitivities. If your guests are mostly solo and the room is small, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and the same length, needing at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
