Key benefits
- Leaves room for other furniture: We suggest a bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, so a second bedroom or first flat can usually take the UK double alongside a wardrobe and drawers.
- Space for a bedside table each: In a room of around 3m x 3m, you should have space for a bedside table on each side, so neither of you has to clamber across the other at night.
- Enough width for close sleepers: Two sharers get 67.5cm each, which feels a little snug for broad-shouldered couples but suits most pairs who tend to sleep near each other anyway.
- Generous for one, plus a pet: On your own, the 135cm width gives you room to stretch out even when a dog or cat has settled into its usual corner by your feet.
- Simple to dress: Double sheets are sold almost everywhere and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fits, which helps if you're kitting out a whole home at once.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and want to keep floor space for a wardrobe and drawers, or you sleep alone and like room to spread out. The UK double also fits a guest room where visiting couples stay for a night or two.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are both tall or like plenty of personal space in bed. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the UK double the smallest Dorchester Pocket 5000 size?
Yes. The Dorchester Pocket 5000 comes in a UK double, UK king and UK super king, with no UK single or UK small double. If your room is smaller than our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m, you would need to look at a different mattress, because this range does not come in a narrower size.
How much space does each person get on a Dorchester Pocket 5000 UK double?
The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing. By comparison, the UK king gives 75cm each and the UK super king gives 90cm each. If one of you tends to sprawl, the UK double can feel slightly tight. Couples who sleep close usually find it comfortable.
Dorchester Pocket 5000 double or king for a smaller bedroom?
For the UK double, we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m. For the UK king, allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m. The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it leaves more floor for drawers and bedside tables in a typical bedroom.
What are the Dorchester Pocket 5000 double dimensions in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. This is the standard UK double footprint, so it fits a standard double bed frame and takes standard double bedding.
Is a Dorchester Pocket 5000 UK double a good choice for a guest room?
For visiting couples, the UK double gives two people 67.5cm each without filling a spare room. Double sheets are easy to find, which keeps a guest bed simple to change between visits. Sweet Dreams publishes little detail on this mattress's firmness or fillings, so check with the retailer if your guests have particular needs.
