Layer Details
- A shared bed that leaves room to live: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double gives couples a proper bed while still allowing wardrobes, drawers and walking space in a typical British bedroom.
- Bedside tables on both sides: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which in most homes still leaves space for a table each side.
- Depth without the sprawl: The 32cm build gives a lifted, supportive feel, so the double footprint doesn't mean a thin, budget-feeling mattress.
- Medium firm for two different sleepers: A medium firm feel is a fair compromise when two people share, giving enough push-back for back sleepers and some give for sides.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm duvet fit this size and are stocked everywhere, though check your fitted sheets can handle the 32cm depth.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your room sits around the typical UK size, where a UK king would leave the space feeling cramped. It also suits a solo sleeper who wants space to spread out, or room for a dog or cat that has quietly claimed a corner. And it makes a generous guest room bed for visiting couples.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to stretch, and your bedroom is comfortably larger than 2.6m x 2.8m. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double.

Is the Simba Natural Hybrid Apex double big enough for two people?
It works for most couples. A UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, which is comfortable rather than roomy. The medium firm feel and 32cm depth help the mattress stay supportive when two bodies are on it, but if either of you sleeps restlessly, the UK king is worth considering.
What room size do I need for the Apex in a UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m being the comfortable norm. That allows walking space on both sides and, in most rooms, a bedside table each. If your room is close to the minimum, the UK double is usually the right call over sizing up.
How big is the Simba Natural Hybrid Apex in a UK double?
It measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. The mattress itself is 32cm deep, taller than many boxed models, so factor that height in when checking your bed frame and buying fitted sheets with deep enough corners.
Will the double Apex fit up the stairs in an older house?
It arrives rolled and boxed, which helps in terraces with turning staircases or tight new build landings. The UK double is the narrower of the shared sizes, so it's the easier of the two to manoeuvre, but measure any awkward turns before delivery day.
Should I get the Apex in a UK double or a UK king?
It comes down to your room. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and it suits rooms where a bigger bed would dominate. If your bedroom is generous and you both like space, the UK king gives each of you noticeably more width.
