Layer Details
Upholstery
The comfort layers are made exclusively from natural fillings: bonded and blended British fleece wool with cotton, encased in high-quality ticking. It's hand-tufted with felt washers, which keeps the fillings anchored so the surface stays even over time.
Springs
Beneath the upholstery sits a single layer of 1,558 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets. Because each spring moves independently, you get support that follows your shape and less disturbance from a restless partner.

Key benefits
- Fits the rooms most couples have: We suggest a bedroom of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, so it sits comfortably in many main bedrooms where a UK king would crowd the wardrobe.
- Calmer sharing at close quarters: With 67.5cm each, the independently moving pocket springs help, which means a partner rolling over is less likely to jolt your side of the bed.
- Less heat build-up side by side: The wool and cotton fillings let moisture escape, so two people sleeping fairly close on a UK double are less likely to wake up clammy.
- A generous bed for visiting couples: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, it gives guests a proper shared width while usually leaving a spare room space for a chest of drawers.
- Simple to dress: Double sheets and duvets are sold everywhere, although the 21cm depth plus 6cm of doming means deep fitted sheets will sit better.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a bedroom of ordinary British proportions and want room for bedside tables, or you sleep alone and like space to spread out, perhaps with a cat or dog claiming the foot of the bed.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner are both broad-shouldered and already bump elbows at night. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Vispring Dartington UK double wide enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives 67.5cm each, and the soft, independently sprung surface helps limit disturbance between you. If either of you sleeps starfished or runs warm, the UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person.
What size bedroom do I need for a Vispring Dartington UK double?
We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, with around 3m x 3m feeling comfortable once you add a wardrobe and drawers. That smaller footprint is the main reason couples choose the UK double over the UK king, which we suggest needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is a Vispring Dartington double long enough for a tall person?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in, which suits most adults. If you're tall and like your feet on the mattress, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it also needs a larger room.
What sheets fit a Vispring Dartington UK double?
Standard double sheets fit the 135 x 190cm surface, and a 200 x 200cm double duvet works well. The mattress is 21cm deep plus 6cm of doming, so choose deep fitted sheets to stop the corners pinging off the plump, tufted edges.
Is a UK double Vispring Dartington too big for one person?
Not if you like space. The UK double is 45cm wider than the UK single, so you can sleep diagonally or share with a pet without feeling squeezed. If your room is tight, the UK small double is 15cm narrower and needs at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
