Layer Details
Pocket springs
Individually wrapped steel springs, 498 per square metre, which means each one moves on its own. You'll feel support that follows your shape and less disturbance when a partner turns over.
Comfort zones
Zoned areas within the spring unit give slightly different support along the length of the mattress. In practice, your shoulders and hips can sink a touch more while your back stays supported.
Standard foam
A layer of polyurethane foam at 33 kg/m3, a solid density for durability. It cushions the springs so you don't feel them directly.
Memory foam
Memory foam moulds to your body under warmth and pressure. It softens the firm surface a little at pressure points like hips and shoulders.
Stiff felt
A firm felt layer that insulates the comfort layers from the springs. It helps the mattress keep its structure over time.

Key benefits
- Fits a typical shared bedroom: At 135 x 190cm, the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and a bedside table on each side in rooms where a UK king would crowd the floor.
- Less disturbance at close quarters: The 498 pocket springs per square metre move individually, which means a partner turning over beside you is less likely to wake you, even with 67.5cm each.
- Your own side stays supportive: The firm feel and zoned spring unit keep each person's spine supported in their own half, which suits couples who both sleep on their backs or fronts.
- Simple to dress: Double sheets and duvets are sold almost everywhere, so kitting out a first flat or a spare room won't mean hunting for specialist bedding.
- Sensible when the budget is stretched: If you're furnishing several rooms at once, the UK double gets you pocket springs and a 33 kg/m3 foam layer without committing to the largest footprint.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and your bedroom sits around our suggested minimum of 2.6m x 2.8m, or you're setting up a guest room for visiting couples and want firm, dependable support that won't swallow the space.
Consider another size if...
You're both tall or broad-shouldered and your room has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 10cm longer and gives 7.5cm more each, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

FAQ's
How much space does each person get on the Ikea Vagstranda UK double?
Each of you gets 67.5cm of width on the 135 x 190cm surface. That's comfortable for most couples of average build, although it can feel a little close if one of you sprawls. The pocket springs move independently, so a partner shifting position is less likely to travel across to your side.
Will the Ikea Vagstranda UK double fit with bedside tables on both sides?
In most rooms, yes. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving you comfortable walking space round the bed. At the smaller end, compact bedside tables are the easier fit. Measure your room with the bed frame in mind, since frames add to the mattress footprint.
Is the Ikea Vagstranda UK double long enough for tall people?
The UK double is 190cm long, which suits most adults. If either of you is tall enough that your feet already reach the end of your current bed, the UK king is 10cm longer. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, so check your room first.
Does partner movement matter more on the Vagstranda double than a king?
Slightly, because you sleep closer together. The UK double gives you 67.5cm each, while the UK king gives 75cm each. The Vagstranda's individually wrapped springs help here, which means less of your partner's movement reaches you, though a lighter sleeper may still notice more on the UK double than on the wider bed.
Is the Ikea Vagstranda double a good choice for a guest room?
It suits a guest room well if your visitors tend to come as couples, since a UK double fits smaller spare rooms. The firm feel works for most back and front sleepers. Guests who sleep on their side and are lightweight may find it a touch firm for a longer stay.
