- Room for bedside tables: At 135cm wide, the UK double usually leaves space for a table on each side, where a UK king can squeeze one out in a modest room.
- Springs that move separately: The individual pocket springs react on their own, which means you should feel less of your partner turning over on a bed this close together.
- The most compact Connaught: The UK double is the smallest size of the Connaught Pocket 1000, so it suits a second bedroom that also has to hold a wardrobe and drawers.
- Easy bedding: Double sheets and duvets are sold almost everywhere, so dressing the bed won't add much to a budget already stretched by furnishing a whole home.
- Sensible for guests: A visiting couple gets a proper shared bed without a spare room losing most of its floor to the frame.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a typical UK bedroom and want to keep space for bedside tables, or you are setting up a guest room for visiting couples. It also suits a solo sleeper who likes to spread out, perhaps with a cat or dog curled up at the foot.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are both tall, or one of you sprawls across the middle. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 10cm longer; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Will a Connaught Pocket 1000 UK double fit in my bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving you comfortable space to walk round the bed and fit a table on each side. If your room is near the minimum, measure where the wardrobe door opens before you commit.
How much room does each person get on the Connaught Pocket 1000 UK double?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each. That suits most couples, although broad sleepers or restless ones may feel a little close. The UK king of this mattress gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person.
Is the Connaught Pocket 1000 UK double long enough if I'm tall?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. That is fine for most adults, but if you're tall and like your feet on the mattress, the UK king and UK super king of the Connaught Pocket 1000 are both 10cm longer than the UK double.
Does the Sweet Dreams Connaught Pocket 1000 come smaller than a UK double?
No. The Connaught Pocket 1000 is listed in UK double, UK king and UK super king, so the UK double is its most compact option. If you need a UK small double or UK single, you'll need to look at a different mattress.
Is the Connaught Pocket 1000 UK double a good choice for a guest room?
Yes, for most spare rooms. A UK double lets a visiting couple share properly while leaving floor space for a chest of drawers or a desk. Since Sweet Dreams doesn't publish its firmness, check it with the retailer if your guests have strong preferences.
