Layer Details
- The classic couples' size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double is Britain's long-standing shared size, which means it fits rooms where a UK king would leave you squeezing past the footboard.
- Room for bedside tables: Because the UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king, most bedrooms can still take a table on both sides, useful if you each want a lamp and a phone charger.
- Natural layers where it matters for two: Two bodies raise the temperature under a duvet, and the breathable plant and animal derived comfort layers help this hybrid run cooler than an all-foam double.
- Medium firm across a shared surface: The medium firm tension supports back and combination sleepers well, so partners with different sleep positions can usually both settle on it.
- Easy to dress: Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit, and at 30cm deep it still works with widely available deep fitted sheets.
This size suits you if...
You're a couple in a typical UK bedroom where a UK king would dominate the floor, or you sleep alone and want space to spread out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming a corner. It also suits a guest room that hosts visiting couples, since the UK double is the size most people expect when they stay.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner both like room to sprawl, or one of you is a restless sleeper. With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, the UK double can feel snug, so we'd recommend the UK king instead if your room allows it.

Is a UK double Simba Natural Hybrid Escape big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, giving 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the medium firm hybrid build keeps movement from travelling too much across the surface. Taller sleepers should note the 190cm length, though: the UK king adds 10cm of length as well as width.
Will a double Natural Hybrid Escape fit my bedroom with bedside tables?
In most rooms, yes. We suggest a minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. Because the UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king, it usually leaves enough wall on each side for a table and walking space.
Should I get the Natural Hybrid Escape in a UK double or a UK king?
Choose the UK double if your room is close to the 2.6m x 2.8m minimum we suggest, or if you sleep alone. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, so it suits couples with the space to spare, or anyone over about six feet tall who finds 190cm restrictive.
How much space does each person get on a double Natural Hybrid Escape?
Two people sharing a UK double get 67.5cm each. That's the traditional shared allowance and it works for most couples, although if one of you starfishes or you share with a pet who claims a corner, the extra width of the UK king makes a noticeable difference.
Is the UK double Natural Hybrid Escape a good guest room mattress?
It's a sensible guest size, since a 135 x 190cm double comfortably hosts visiting couples as well as solo guests, and double bedding is cheap and easy to find. The natural hybrid build is a premium choice for occasional use, so compare the retailers listed on this page before committing.
