Layer Details
- Ticking. The outer cover is a soft to the touch, finest quality ticking. This is the surface you'll actually feel through your sheet, and it's made to be gentle against skin.
- Fillings. All-natural fillings of British fleece wool, horsehair, bamboo and cotton, which means the mattress breathes and manages moisture naturally through the night. Horsehair in particular adds resilience, so the comfort layers spring back rather than compacting quickly.
- Springs. 1720 vanadium steel springs in the 5-foot size, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in calico pockets with a wool protector pad. Because each spring works independently, support follows your shape closely and movement on one side is less likely to disturb the other.
- Borders. Wool-upholstered borders include air vents and handles. The vents let air circulate through the mattress, and the handles make rotating it far easier than wrestling an unhandled one.

- Room for two, without filling the floor: Each of you gets 67.5cm of width, which suits most couples of average build while leaving floor space that a UK king would take up.
- Fits the typical British bedroom: We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m, so many standard master bedrooms and larger second bedrooms can take it without feeling cramped.
- Less disturbance on a shared surface: The springs are individually pocketed, which means a partner turning over at 67.5cm away is less likely to jolt you awake.
- Cooler nights when sharing: Two bodies on a UK double make more warmth than one, and the wool and horsehair fillings breathe, so heat and moisture move away rather than building up.
- Easy to dress for guests: A 200 x 200cm double duvet and ordinary double sheets fit it, so a guest room stays simple to make up for visiting couples.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and want a proper couples' size that still leaves space for bedside tables on both sides of a typical bedroom, or you're setting up a guest room where visiting couples should sleep well on natural materials.
Consider another size if...
One of you is tall or you both sleep sprawled out, so 67.5cm each already feels tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for that room.

Is the Vispring Imperial UK double wide enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK double gives you 67.5cm each, which is comfortable if neither of you sleeps in a starfish shape. If you often feel elbowed, the UK king adds 7.5cm per person, and because the springs move independently, you'll feel less of your partner's movement on either size.
Will a Vispring Imperial UK double fit in my bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, with around 3m x 3m feeling comfortable once bedside tables on both sides and a wardrobe are in. If your room is near that smaller figure, measure the space each side of the bed before you order.
How much bigger is the Vispring Imperial UK king than the UK double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. The extra length matters if either of you is tall and your feet reach the end, while the extra width gives each sleeper 7.5cm more. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king.
Is the Vispring Imperial in a UK double a good choice for a guest room?
It suits a guest room that needs to sleep couples, since the UK double holds two people but won't take over a smaller spare room. Dressing it is simple too: double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet fit, and those are easy to find in any shop.
What are the exact dimensions of the Vispring Imperial UK double?
The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, which is 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in. That is the standard UK double footprint, so it should sit in a bed frame sold as a UK double. It is 15cm wider than the UK small double and the same length.
