Layer Details
- Cover. A chemical-free polyester and viscose cover. Viscose is a soft, breathable fibre, so the sleep surface feels smooth rather than synthetic.
- Fillings. All-natural, chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool fillings. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means it helps keep you warm in winter and cooler in summer.
- Springs. 1,000 individually pocketed springs in the king size. Each spring moves on its own, so the mattress responds to your shape and limits motion transfer across the bed.
- Border. A ventilated border with two rows of stitching for edge support. The ventilation helps air move through the mattress, and the stitching firms up the sides so the edge doesn't sag when you sit on it.

- Fits alongside your furniture: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), the UK double leaves floor space for bedside tables and a wardrobe in rooms where a UK king would crowd things.
- Less disturbance from a partner: Each pocketed spring moves on its own, which means a partner turning over beside you is less likely to jolt you awake on a shared UK double.
- Sides you can sleep near: The border has two rows of stitching, so whoever sleeps nearest the edge of a UK double keeps a firm, usable surface rather than drifting towards the middle.
- Stays cooler for two: Cotton and Hampshire wool fillings let air move through the mattress, which helps when two people share a UK double and warmth builds between you.
- A sensible spare room bed: In a guest room, a firm UK double gives visiting couples proper support without handing the entire floor over to the bed.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom sits at or a little above our suggested minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m, or you are setting up a spare room where visiting couples need firm support.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner find 67.5cm each too snug, or one of you sprawls. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is wider and longer; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Boutique Ortho UK double wide enough for two people?
The UK double gives each of you 67.5cm. That suits couples who sleep fairly close, and the pocketed springs moving independently help limit disturbance when one of you shifts. If you both like to spread out, the space will feel tight, and the UK king is the better fit.
Will a Boutique Ortho UK double fit in my bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving a comfortable amount of space to walk round the bed. In a smaller room, measure where the wardrobe and drawers will open before you commit.
How much smaller is the Boutique Ortho UK double than the UK king?
The UK double is 15cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, which works out as 7.5cm less each for two people sharing. The UK king needs a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, so the UK double is the easier choice where floor space is limited.
How many springs are in the Boutique Ortho UK double?
The Handmade Bed Company only publishes a spring count for the UK king, which uses 1,000 individually pocketed springs. It doesn't give a figure for the UK double, so check the brand's own guidance before buying if spring count matters to you.
Is the Boutique Ortho UK double a good choice for a guest room?
It suits a guest room well if your visitors tend to be couples who like a firm bed. Standard double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit it. Lightweight side sleepers may find the surface a little too firm at the shoulder and hip.
