Key benefits
- Fits a typical bedroom: At 135 x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in), the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in rooms where a UK king would crowd the floor.
- Less disturbance at 67.5cm each: Each spring moves independently, which means your partner's turning travels less across a bed where you're lying fairly close together.
- A supportive outer edge: The reinforced edge keeps the outer strip of the mattress firm underneath you, which helps on a UK double where couples often sleep nearer the sides.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are sold almost everywhere, so keeping spare sets for a guest room is simple.
- Room for bedside tables: In a room nearer the comfortable 3m x 3m norm, the UK double usually allows a bedside table on each side without blocking the wardrobe.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom is close to our suggested 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, or you're furnishing a spare room for visiting couples and want to keep floor space for storage.
Consider another size if...
You're both tall or broad, or one of you sleeps spread out. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 15cm wider and 10cm longer, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

FAQ's
Will the Ikea Vatnestrom UK double fit in a small bedroom?
We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m feeling comfortable once you add furniture. If your room is close to that minimum, measure the space you'll need for opening wardrobe doors and drawers too, because those usually decide the fit more than the bed itself.
How much space do two people get on a Vatnestrom double?
The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing. That suits most couples of average build, although if one of you sleeps with your arms out or turns often, the UK king gives 7.5cm less squeeze each at 75cm per person.
Is the UK double Vatnestrom long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, the same length as the UK single and UK small double. If either of you finds your feet at the end of most beds, the UK king is 10cm longer and would suit you better, provided your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Does the reinforced edge matter more on a double mattress?
It tends to, yes. On a UK double, couples often end up sleeping nearer the sides than they would on a wider bed, so a firm outer edge helps you feel held in place rather than tipping towards the drop. It also gives a steadier spot to sit while you dress.
Can I fit bedside tables either side of a Vatnestrom UK double?
In most rooms, yes. At 135cm wide, the UK double is one of the narrower shared sizes, so a room near the 3m x 3m comfortable norm usually takes a small table on each side. In a room at our 2.6m x 2.8m minimum, measure first, as one side may need to stay clear.
