Layer Details
- Fits a typical main bedroom: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, so it sits happily in the main bedroom of many terraces and flats where a UK king would crowd the walls.
- Space for bedside tables: In a room of around 3m x 3m you can usually fit a table on each side, so neither of you climbs over the other at night.
- The classic shared width: At 67.5cm each for two people, the UK double is the traditional British couple's bed, best for partners who don't mind the odd nudge.
- Soft feel for lighter couples: A soft comfort layer over pocket springs lets shoulders and hips sink in a little, which suits two lighter side sleepers sharing the UK double.
- A sensible spare room bed: A UK double gives visiting couples a proper shared bed without taking over a second bedroom that also has to hold a wardrobe and drawers.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom is somewhere around the 3m x 3m mark, so you want a proper couple's bed that still leaves room for bedside tables and a wardrobe. It also fits if you're kitting out a spare room for visiting couples who prefer a softer surface.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both sprawl, or one of you is tall, and your room has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

How much room does each person get on the UltraGel 3000 Pocket Soft UK double?
Two people sharing the UK double get 67.5cm each. That is 7.5cm less each than the UK king, which gives 75cm per person. On a soft mattress you sink in slightly rather than lying on top, so couples who like a clear gap between them may find the UK double a little close.
Will a UK double Silentnight UltraGel 3000 fit in my bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m being the comfortable norm. At the smaller end you can fit the bed, but a bedside table on each side and a wardrobe will feel tight. Measure your walls and door swing before ordering.
Is the UltraGel 3000 Pocket Soft UK double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, the same length as the UK single and UK small double. If one of you is tall and your feet already reach the end of your current bed, the UK king is 10cm longer and may suit you better.
What are the UltraGel 3000 Pocket Soft UK double dimensions in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, or 135 x 190cm. That matches the standard British double, so an existing double bed frame should take it, and double fitted sheets from any shop will work.
Should I choose the UltraGel 3000 Pocket Soft in a UK small double to save space?
Only if your room is genuinely tight. The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. For one sleeper in a compact first flat it makes sense, but most couples will miss the extra width of the UK double.
