Layer Details
Bonnell springs
A connected coil system at 166 springs per square metre, which means consistent, slightly springy support across the whole mattress. Because the coils are linked, movement travels more than it would with pocket springs, so a restless partner will be more noticeable.
Standard foam
A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3, which means a decent level of durability for the price rather than a bargain-bin foam that flattens quickly. It softens the feel of the springs a little without adding much sink-in comfort.
Stiff felt
A firm felt layer that sits between the foam and the springs. It stops the foam pressing into the coils, which helps the mattress wear evenly over time.

Key benefits
- Leaves room for the rest of your furniture: At 135 x 190cm, a UK double lets a wardrobe and chest of drawers share a first flat's bedroom, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
- Space for bedside tables: In a room closer to 3m x 3m you can usually keep a bedside table on each side, which the UK king, 15cm wider, can make tight.
- Support that stays even across both halves: The 166 springs per square metre run across the full width, which means neither partner's side should feel noticeably softer than the other's.
- Easy on a stretched budget: If you're furnishing a whole home at once, a simple sprung double keeps things affordable, and double sheets and duvets are sold almost everywhere.
- A proper bed for visiting couples: In a guest room, two visitors get a shared bed of a familiar size, though lightweight side sleepers may find the medium firm feel slightly unforgiving.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a typical UK bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, you're kitting out a spare room or first flat without much to spend, or you sleep alone and like room to stretch out.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are tall or easily woken by each other's movement, and your room is at least 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 10cm longer.

FAQ's
How much space do two people get on an Ikea Vestmarka double?
Each of you gets 67.5cm of width on the UK double. That suits most couples, but because the Bonnell coils are connected, movement travels across the mattress. If one of you tosses and turns, the closer quarters of a double make that more noticeable than on a wider bed.
Ikea Vestmarka double vs king for couples?
The UK double gives 7.5cm less each than the UK king and is 10cm shorter. If you have the room, the UK king eases the motion transfer from the linked springs. If your bedroom is tighter than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, stay with the UK double.
Will the Vestmarka UK double fit a small bedroom?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m the comfortable norm. Below that, you may lose space for drawers or a bedside table. Ikea doesn't make the Vestmarka in a UK small double, so the UK double is the smallest two-person option in this range.
Is the Ikea Vestmarka double good for a guest room?
For occasional visitors it makes sense: a familiar size for couples, a sturdy medium firm feel and a footprint that suits a modest spare room. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little firm on the shoulders for a long stay, but for a weekend most guests should sleep comfortably.
What fitted sheet fits an Ikea Vestmarka UK double?
A standard UK double fitted sheet for 135 x 190cm. The mattress is 18cm deep, shallower than many, so ordinary sheets should grip it without slipping. Deep-pocket sheets can leave loose fabric, so standard depth is the better choice, and you'll want a 200 x 200cm double duvet on top.
