Layer Details
- Cover. A chemical-free polyester and viscose cover. Viscose is a soft, breathable fibre, which means the sleeping surface feels smooth and doesn't trap heat.
- Fillings. Chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool fillings. Wool naturally wicks moisture and regulates temperature, so you stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
- Springs. 4,000 individually pocketed springs in the king size. Each spring responds independently to pressure, which means better contouring to your shape and less disturbance from a partner moving about.

- Room left for furniture: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double usually leaves space for a bedside table on each side, which a UK king can squeeze out of a modest room.
- Independent springs for two: Pocketed springs move on their own, which means that at 67.5cm each you feel less of your partner turning over than you would on an open coil mattress.
- Cooler shared sleeping: Two bodies in a UK double generate more heat, and the wool and cotton fillings wick moisture away, so the bed feels a little less stuffy on warm nights.
- A medium feel most couples can agree on: Medium firmness is a sensible middle ground when two people with different preferences share one surface, although anyone wanting a distinctly firm bed may still find it too forgiving.
- Deep enough to feel substantial: At 32cm deep, the mattress sits high in a double frame, so check your fitted sheets have deep enough pockets before your first night.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want proper room for two without giving up your bedside tables, or you are furnishing a second bedroom where visiting couples need a comfortable bed that leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers.
Consider another size if...
One of you is tall or you both sleep spread out, starfish style. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 10cm longer and wider; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Will a Boutique 4000 UK double fit 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 feeling comfortable. In a room at the smaller end you should still fit a table either side, while the UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance.
Is the Boutique 4000 UK double wide enough for two adults?
The UK double gives each of you 67.5cm, which suits most couples who sleep fairly still. Because the pocketed springs respond individually, a restless partner is less disruptive than on a traditional sprung mattress. If you regularly bump elbows, the UK king adds 7.5cm per person.
Boutique 4000 UK double or UK king for a couple in a small room?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, and that difference often decides whether you can walk comfortably round the bed. If your room is near 2.6m x 2.8m, the UK double is the safer choice; the UK king suits rooms of at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is a 190cm long double long enough for a tall sleeper?
The UK double is 190cm long, which is 6ft 3in. Taller sleepers, or anyone whose feet hang off at that length, will be more comfortable on the UK king, which is 10cm longer. Remember the 32cm depth raises you slightly, which does not change the length but can make the bed feel more substantial.
Is the Boutique 4000 in a UK double a good guest room mattress?
For a spare room that hosts couples, the UK double fits alongside a wardrobe and drawers in most second bedrooms. The medium feel is easy for guests with different tastes to settle on, and double sheets and duvets are simple to find, though you'll need fitted sheets deep enough for 32cm.
