Layer Details
- Pocket springs. Individually wrapped steel springs, 249 per square metre, that compress independently. This means support follows the contours of your body and a restless partner disturbs you less.
- Comfort zones. Zoned areas within the spring unit that yield differently along the length of the mattress. In practice, your shoulders and hips sink in slightly more while your back stays supported.
- Standard foam. A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3 density that cushions you from the springs. It's a simple comfort layer, so expect gentle padding rather than the deep hug of memory foam.
- Stiff felt. A firm felt layer that protects the springs and adds structure. You won't feel it directly, but it helps the mattress keep its shape.

- Room for two, sized for a normal bedroom: At 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double gives a couple 67.5cm each while leaving floor space for drawers and a wardrobe.
- Less disturbance on a shared width: With 67.5cm each, a partner is never far away, so the independently moving pocket springs help by keeping their tossing and turning from travelling across to your side.
- Fits with bedside tables on both sides: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, a footprint many standard master and second bedrooms meet, so each of you can keep a table within reach.
- A practical guest room bed: Visiting couples get a proper shared bed with a medium firm feel that suits most people for a few nights, without the bed dominating a spare room.
- Zoned support across both halves: Comfort zones let shoulders and hips sink in a little more, so each sleeper gets that give on their own side of the UK double.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom is around our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m or larger, or you're kitting out a first home or guest room and want a couples' bed that leaves space for other furniture.
Consider another size if...
One of you is tall, or you both like plenty of personal space. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 10cm longer and gives 75cm each, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Ikea Valevag UK double wide enough for two people?
The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That suits most couples who sleep reasonably still, and the pocket springs move independently, which means you feel a little less of each other's movement. If you both sprawl, the UK king gives 7.5cm more each.
Will the Ikea Valevag double fit a small bedroom?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, which leaves room to walk around the bed and fit bedside tables. If your room is tighter, the UK small double is 15cm narrower, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Should a couple size up from the Ikea Valevag double to the UK king?
Size up if you have the room and want more space. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, giving 75cm each rather than 67.5cm. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, so measure your bedroom first.
Is the Ikea Valevag UK double long enough for tall people?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. Taller sleepers, or anyone who likes their feet fully on the mattress, may find it a little short. The UK king and UK super king are both 10cm longer than the UK double.
What are the Ikea Valevag double mattress dimensions in feet?
The Ikea Valevag in a UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. It is 24cm deep, a fairly standard height, so check your fitted sheets are deep enough before you buy.
