Layer Details
- Cover. A QuickRefresh™ cover with SmartCool™ technology, designed to help the surface of the mattress feel cooler to the touch. It sits directly against you, so it shapes the first impression of the mattress each night.
- Filling. TEMPUR® Advanced Material, the brand's signature slow-response foam. It softens with body heat and moulds to your shape, which means pressure is spread evenly rather than concentrated at the hips and shoulders.

- The classic shared size: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double is the long-standing standard for couples, which means it fits the rooms most UK homes actually have.
- Motion isolation matters more at this width: With 67.5cm each for two people sharing, TEMPUR® Advanced Material absorbs movement, so a partner turning over is less likely to wake you.
- Room for bedside tables: The UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king, often the difference between bedside tables on both sides and a lamp balanced on the floor.
- Cooler surface for two: Two bodies raise the temperature under the duvet, and the SmartCool™ cover is designed to help the surface feel cooler than traditional memory foam.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are stocked everywhere, at every price, which keeps the ongoing costs of this size simple.
- Guest room friendly: If this is for a spare room that hosts visiting couples, the UK double gives them a proper shared bed in a modest footprint.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your bedroom sits around the typical UK size, where we suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m; you want the pressure relief of Tempur's foam without giving up walking space or bedside tables on both sides; or you sleep alone and like room to sprawl, perhaps with a dog or cat who has claimed a corner as their own.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are both broad-shouldered or restless, because 67.5cm each is snug on a slow-moulding foam that discourages quick shuffling. If your room allows it, we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.

Is a UK double Tempur Pro SmartCool big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and the slow-response foam keeps movement from travelling across the mattress, so you feel a partner's turning less than you would on a springier bed. Larger or restless sleepers may prefer the extra 15cm of width a UK king offers.
What room size do I need for the Tempur Pro SmartCool in a UK double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. That leaves space to walk round the bed and open drawers. The UK double is the size to pick when a UK king would crowd the room, which is why it remains the default for typical British bedrooms.
Should a couple choose this Tempur in a UK double or a UK king?
It usually comes down to the room. The UK double is 15cm narrower than the UK king and 10cm shorter, which can be the difference between fitting a wardrobe and bedside tables or not. If your bedroom comfortably exceeds 3m x 3m and either of you is tall or spreads out, the UK king is the better long-term buy.
Does the Tempur Pro SmartCool sleep hot in a double for two people?
Two sleepers in a 135cm width do generate more warmth than one, and memory foam has a reputation for holding heat. The SmartCool™ cover is Tempur's answer, designed to make the surface feel cooler to the touch. Very hot couples should still weigh this against a sprung design with more airflow.
Is the UK double Tempur Pro SmartCool good for a guest room?
It works well, since the UK double suits visiting couples and solo guests alike, and at 135 x 190cm it fits a spare room without swallowing it. It is a premium choice for occasional use, so compare the retailers listed on this page, where prices are updated as retailers change them.
