Layer Details
Pocket springs
Individually wrapped steel springs, 267 per square metre, that compress independently under your body. This gives more precise support than connected coils and helps limit motion transfer between partners.
Standard foam
A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3 density sits above the springs to soften the feel. It cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips without adding much sink.
Stiff felt
A firm felt layer that protects the foam from the spring unit. It keeps the comfort layer from working its way into the coils, which helps the mattress last.

Key benefits
- Leaves room for the rest of your furniture: The UK double's 135cm width sits comfortably in a typical bedroom, so a wardrobe and a chest of drawers can usually stay where you want them.
- Space for bedside tables: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for this size, and with around 3m x 3m you can usually fit a bedside table on each side and still walk round.
- Less roll-together on a shared bed: The 267 springs per square metre move individually, which matters on a UK double where two people lie closer together than they would on a UK king.
- Sensible for a whole-home fit-out: If you're furnishing several rooms at once, the Vesteroy lets the main bedroom have pocket springs while leaving money for everything else on your list.
- Easy to dress: Double bedding is sold almost everywhere, so you won't need to hunt for sheets that fit, and the slim 20cm depth suits standard fitted sheets.
This size suits you if...
You share a bed in an ordinary-sized bedroom and want space left for a wardrobe and drawers, or you're setting up a first flat or a spare room for visiting couples and want individually moving springs without overspending on a bed that isn't used every night.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner already feel cramped at 67.5cm each, or either of you is tall. We'd recommend the UK king instead, provided your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
How much room does each person get on the Ikea Vesteroy UK double?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each. That is fine for most couples, although it feels snug if one of you sleeps star-shaped. The UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double offers 7.5cm less per person, in exchange for a smaller footprint in the bedroom.
Is the Vesteroy UK double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. If you or your partner are close to that height, your feet may reach the end. The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so taller couples with the floor space would be more comfortable sizing up.
Will an Ikea Vesteroy 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, and around 3m x 3m gives you comfortable space for a table each side plus a clear path round the bed. Measure the wall your headboard will sit against before you order.
Is the Ikea Vesteroy UK double good for a guest room?
It suits a spare room well. The UK double gives visiting couples a proper shared bed, and the medium firm feel is a safe middle ground when you don't know who will be sleeping on it. Lighter side sleepers may find it a little firm at the shoulder.
What are the Ikea Vesteroy UK double dimensions in feet?
The Vesteroy in a UK double is 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm in metric. It sits between the UK small double, which is 15cm narrower, and the UK king, which is 15cm wider and 10cm longer.
