Layer Details
Cover
A breathable Belgian damask fabric cover, which means air can move through the surface rather than getting trapped against you. That helps keep things a little cooler overnight.
Comfort Fillings
Soft white fibre fillings made from 100% polyester. These give a simple, even comfort layer over the springs rather than a deep, plush feel.
Support System
Pocket springs mounted in their own separate fabric pockets, so each spring works completely independently of the others. You feel this as support that follows your body's shape, relieving pressure where you need it.

Key benefits
- Less disturbance at close quarters: At 67.5cm each you sleep nearer your partner than on a UK king, so springs that move independently help stop their turns from rippling across to your side.
- Space for bedside tables: In a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m you can usually keep a bedside table on each side, where the UK king, at 15cm wider, may squeeze one out.
- Kind to a stretched budget: If you're furnishing a first flat all at once, this budget mattress in a widely stocked size leaves more money for the wardrobe and drawers.
- A proper bed for visiting couples: In a guest room, the UK double gives two visitors a genuinely shared bed, and the medium firm feel suits most back and stomach sleepers staying a few nights.
- Shorter footprint for compact rooms: At 190cm long, 10cm shorter than the UK king, it leaves slightly more room to walk past the foot of the bed in a smaller bedroom.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a typical UK bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m and want bedside tables on both sides, or you're setting up a first home and need a supportive shared bed without overspending.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are both tall or broad, and 67.5cm each already feels tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Spring King Pocket Backcare 1500 double wide enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives you 67.5cm each, which is snug but workable for average builds. Because each spring sits in its own pocket, one person moving has less effect on the other, which helps at that distance. If either of you sprawls, the UK king gives 75cm each.
Will the Spring King Backcare 1500 in a UK double fit a small bedroom?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving comfortable space for a wardrobe and drawers. If your room is well below that, this mattress also comes as a UK single, for which we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m, though that only suits one sleeper.
How much bigger is the Spring King Pocket Backcare 1500 king than the double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. Shared between two, the UK double gives 7.5cm less each. The UK king needs a larger room too: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, compared with at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
What are the Spring King Backcare 1500 double dimensions in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, or 135 x 190cm. The mattress is 25cm deep, so check that your double fitted sheets have pockets deep enough to tuck well under the edges.
Is a UK double Spring King Backcare 1500 worth it for one person and a pet?
It can be. The UK double is 45cm wider than the UK single, so there's room for a dog or cat to claim a corner while you still stretch out. The independent pocket springs also mean a pet hopping on or off is less likely to wake you.
