Layer Details
- Tencel cover. A high-loft, micro-quilted Tencel cover designed to remove moisture, which means a drier, more comfortable surface if you tend to sleep warm. It's also gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin.
- Memory foam layer 1. The first of two high-performance premium memory foam layers. This is where the contouring happens, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Memory foam layer 2. A second premium memory foam layer that deepens the cushioning before you reach the springs. It helps the mattress feel plush rather than abrupt as you settle in.
- Pocket springs. 1000 pocket springs in the king size provide the supportive core. Because each spring moves independently, you get support where you need it and slightly less disturbance from a partner turning over.

- Room to share, room to move around: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves floor space for a wardrobe and drawers in rooms where a UK king would push furniture against the walls.
- Less disturbance on a narrower bed: You each get 67.5cm, so you lie closer than on a UK king, but the independently moving pocket springs soften the jolt when your partner turns over.
- Cushioning where couples press together: Two memory foam layers mould around hips and shoulders, which means side sleepers sharing a UK double can settle without feeling the springs beneath them.
- A cooler surface for two bodies: Two people generate more warmth than one, and the moisture-wicking Tencel cover helps the top of a shared UK double feel drier through the night.
- Bedding you can buy anywhere: Standard double sheets fit the UK double, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet covers you both, so there's no hunting for specialist sizes.
This size suits you if...
You share a bed every night in a standard-sized bedroom and want the width of a double without losing space for bedside tables on both sides. It also suits you if you're setting up a guest room for visiting couples, or you sleep alone and like enough room for a cat or dog to take over a corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are both broad-shouldered, or one of you sprawls. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Sleep Story Memory Luxe double wide enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives you 67.5cm each, which is 7.5cm less each than the UK king. That feels snug rather than cramped, and because the pocket springs move independently, you'll feel slightly less of your partner shifting than you would on an open-coil double of the same width.
Will a UK double Memory Luxe fit in a smaller bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm if you want bedside tables on both sides. If your room falls short, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
How much bigger is the Memory Luxe in a UK king than a UK double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, giving 75cm each for two sharing. The feel and construction are identical, so you're only paying for space. The catch is the room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is the Memory Luxe UK double long enough if you're tall?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in, the same length as the UK single and UK small double. If either of you is tall and your feet already reach the end of the bed, the UK king adds 10cm of length as well as width.
What size bedding do I need for a Memory Luxe UK double?
Standard double fitted sheets for a 135 x 190cm mattress, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet. At 26cm deep, the mattress sits comfortably within most double fitted sheets, though a deep-pocket sheet gives you a little more tuck at the corners.
