Layer Details
- Cover. A high-tech cooling fabric that feels cool to the touch, which means the surface helps regulate your body temperature through the night. A useful counter to memory foam's tendency to run warm.
- Memory foam. An upper layer of body-conforming memory foam, so you get that slow-sinking, cradled feeling as it moulds to your shape. This is the layer you'll feel most.
- Eco foam. A high-density eco foam layer beneath, designed for targeted pressure relief. In practice, that means less strain on hips and shoulders where you press in hardest.
- Insulating fillings. Layers of insulating fillings encase the core for superior edge support. You should be able to use the full width of the bed without the sides collapsing under you.
- Pocket springs. The Sleep Sound pocket spring system provides head-to-toe support, with 1,000 individually nested springs in the king size. Because each spring moves independently, your partner's movement is less likely to disturb you.

- Space around the bed: In a room around 3m x 3m, the comfortable norm for this size, a UK double leaves floor for a bedside table on each side and a clear path round.
- Less disturbance when sharing: The pocket springs move independently, which means your partner turning over on their 67.5cm half is less likely to shift yours.
- Sides you can actually use: Insulating fillings firm up the edges, which matters more on a UK double because two sharers each sleep nearer the side than they would on a UK king.
- Easy to dress on a stretched budget: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked almost everywhere, a help if you are furnishing a whole home at once.
- A proper shared bed for guests: In a spare room, a UK double gives visiting couples a genuine shared bed, and the medium feel suits most sleeping positions guests bring with them.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m that would feel crowded with a UK king, or you are fitting out a spare room where visiting couples will stay.
Consider another size if...
You are both tall or broad and want more than 67.5cm each. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

Will the Sleep Sound Memory 1000 UK double fit a 2.6m x 2.8m bedroom?
Yes, 2.6m x 2.8m is our suggested minimum for a UK double, so the Sleep Sound Memory 1000 will fit. At that size, expect bedside tables to be slim and the walkway a little tight. Around 3m x 3m is the comfortable norm, which gives you easier access to both sides.
How much smaller is the Sleep Sound Memory 1000 double than the king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. For two sharing, that works out at 7.5cm less each: 67.5cm on the UK double against 75cm on the UK king. The UK king needs more floor too; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is the Sleep Sound Memory 1000 UK double long enough for tall people?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. That is fine for most adults, but if either of you is tall enough for your feet to reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer and may suit you better.
Sleep Sound Memory 1000 small double or double for a couple?
For two adults every night, the UK double is the safer choice, as it is 15cm wider than the UK small double at the same length. The UK small double makes sense if your room is tight; we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double.
Is a UK double big enough for one person and a dog?
For a solo sleeper, 135cm is generous, so a dog or cat curled in one corner still leaves you room to turn. The independent springs also mean a pet jumping up or resettling is less likely to jolt you. The memory foam will hold a slight impression where your pet lies.
