Layer Details
- Damask Cover. A breathable Belgian damask fabric cover. It lets air move through the surface, which means less heat building up around you overnight.
- Comfort Layer. A generous polyester and cotton blend layer that cushions your body. It softens the surface slightly without compromising the firm feel underneath.
- Soft White Fibres. Fibre fillings made from 100% polyester. These recover their shape well, which means the comfort layers should resist flattening over time.
- Cotton. A natural filling that helps regulate body temperature. It also adds a touch of extra support and comfort.
- Pocket Springs. Up to 1600 pocket springs that work independently, contouring to your body as you move. That means targeted pressure relief where you need it, and less disturbance from a partner shifting about.
- High-density Support Layers. Dense support layers on both sides of this double-sided mattress. They add further pressure relief and let you flip the mattress to spread the wear.

- Room to share, room to move around: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves floor space for a wardrobe and drawers in bedrooms where a UK king would feel cramped.
- Your side stays your side: Up to 1600 pocket springs move independently, which means a partner turning over at 67.5cm away is less likely to jolt you awake.
- Firm support for both of you: The extra firm feel is the same across the whole width, so two people who dislike sinking in get equally solid support edge to edge.
- A good fit for a guest room: If visiting couples sleep on it a few nights a year, the UK double offers enough shared space while keeping a spare room usable day to day.
- Easy to picture in imperial: The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, handy if your bed frame or old headboard was sold in feet and inches.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and both prefer a firm, supportive surface, your bedroom is around our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum or a little larger, or you sleep alone but like space for a cat or dog curled up at one corner without losing your own side.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner already feel short of space, or one of you is tall. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each and 10cm more length; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Sleepeezee Ortho Firm 1600 UK double wide enough for two people?
The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That suits many couples, especially if you tend to stay on your own side. If you want more room, the UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Will the Ortho Firm 1600 UK double fit my bedroom with bedside tables on both sides?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. If your room is near that minimum, slim bedside tables are the safer choice. At 3m x 3m you should have space for bedside tables on both sides and still walk around the bed easily.
What are the Sleepeezee Ortho Firm 1600 UK double dimensions in feet and inches?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. It sits on any standard UK double bed frame. Check your frame's inner measurements if it is an older or antique piece, as those can vary a little from the modern standard.

The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double, and both are the same length. If couples stay regularly, the UK double gives them 67.5cm each. If the room is tight, we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double, compared with 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Is the Ortho Firm 1600 UK double long enough for a tall sleeper?
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 reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer at 200cm. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
