Layer Details
- Cover. A QuickRefresh cover with SmartCool technology, designed to help the surface feel cooler to the touch. It sits over the foam as your first line of defence against overheating.
- Filling. TEMPUR Advanced Material, a slow-response foam that softens with body heat and moulds closely to you. You'll feel a gradual sink-in rather than an instant bounce.

- A footprint most bedrooms can take: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double fits typical UK rooms with space left for wardrobes and drawers, which matters in older terraces and compact new builds.
- 67.5cm each for two sharing: Two people get 67.5cm of width apiece, and because TEMPUR Advanced Material moulds rather than bounces, you feel less of your partner's movement across that shared space.
- Room for bedside tables on both sides: Allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m, our own suggestion, and most rooms will still take a table either side of the bed.
- Bedding is easy and cheap to find: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere, so dressing this size costs less effort than the longer UK king or UK super king.
- Generous for one: A solo sleeper gets 45cm more width than a UK single, useful if a dog or cat has quietly claimed a corner of the bed.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night in a room of ordinary UK proportions, you want the closest, most conforming feel Tempur's slow-response foam can give without the bed dominating the space, or you sleep alone and want real room to stretch. It also suits a well-used guest room, since visiting couples expect a double and the medium feel is a safe middle ground.
Consider another size if...
You're a couple who spreads out, or one of you sleeps diagonally. The UK king gives you 15cm more width and 10cm more length, and we'd recommend it if your room stretches to it.

Is a UK double Tempur Pro Plus SmartCool big enough for a couple?
Yes, for most couples. You each get 67.5cm of width, and the slow-response TEMPUR Advanced Material absorbs movement rather than transferring it, which helps two people share that space peacefully. Broad-shouldered pairs, or anyone used to sleeping starfish-style, may find it a little snug and should consider the UK king.
What size room do I need for the Tempur Pro Plus SmartCool in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m. That gives you walking room on both sides and space to open drawers or wardrobe doors, with around 3m x 3m being the comfortable norm. This size is the reason many people pick a UK double: it shares well without swallowing an ordinary British bedroom.
How much smaller is the UK double than the UK king in this mattress?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king. That extra width is the main draw of sizing up, though the UK king demands a bigger room. If either of you is tall, the extra 10cm of length may matter more than the width.
Will a UK double Tempur Pro Plus SmartCool get up narrow stairs?
It's a 25cm deep all-foam mattress at 135 x 190cm, and foam flexes more readily than a sprung mattress on a turn. Even so, the tight winders in older terraces and narrow new build landings catch people out, so measure your stairwell and doorways before ordering, and check the retailer's delivery access guidance.
Should a solo sleeper choose the UK double or the UK small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider than the UK small double at the same length. Sleeping alone, that extra width is a luxury rather than a necessity, so if your room is tight the UK small double works well. If a pet shares the bed, or you simply like to sprawl, the UK double is the more comfortable pick.
