Layer Details
Upholstery - Top layer
Bonded British fleece wool and cotton sit directly beneath you. Wool breathes and wicks moisture, which means a cooler, drier feel through the night than foam typically gives.
Upholstery - Middle layer
A layer of British fleece wool adds soft, natural cushioning. It helps regulate temperature while giving a little give before you reach the springs.
Upholstery - Layer
Bamboo brings a naturally breathable, moisture-managing quality to the fillings. It works alongside the wool to keep the sleep surface fresh.
Upholstery - Bottom layer
Layered British fleece wool and cotton cushion the transition to the spring unit. This means you feel the support of the springs without any harshness.
Spring system
A hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 1,326 vanadium steel springs arranged in a single layer. Each spring moves independently, which means support that follows your shape and less disturbance from a partner shifting position.

Key benefits
- Sized for the rooms most of us have: We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, which means it suits an ordinary master bedroom or a first flat without dominating it.
- Space for bedside tables: With around 3m x 3m to play with, you can usually keep a bedside table on each side, so neither of you has to climb over the other at night.
- Less disturbance at close quarters: The 1,326 springs each move on their own, which means a partner turning over 67.5cm away is less likely to wake you.
- A cooler shared bed: Two people in a UK double generate a fair bit of warmth, and the wool, cotton and bamboo fillings help carry that heat and moisture away rather than trapping it.
- Made for a traditional frame: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, it matches the standard double bedstead size, so an older frame you already own should take it without fuss.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a typical UK bedroom and want enough width for two without losing your wardrobe space, or you're setting up a guest room where visiting couples stay for a few nights at a time.
Consider another size if...
You both sprawl, one of you is tall, and your bedroom clears 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each and is 10cm longer.

FAQ's
Is the Vispring Realm UK double wide enough for two side sleepers?
Each of you gets 67.5cm, which most couples find comfortable if you sleep fairly still. The independent pocket springs help, because one person's movement stays largely on their side. If you both curl up with knees and elbows out, the UK king gives 7.5cm more each.
Will a Vispring Realm 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 is where two bedside tables and a clear walkway sit comfortably. Measure your room with the door and wardrobe fronts open before you order.
Does the Vispring Realm double fit a standard 4ft 6in bedstead?
It should. The UK double measures 135 x 190cm, or 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is the standard double bedstead size. Check the internal measurements of your frame, since older and handmade bedsteads can vary slightly from the nominal figure.
Is the Vispring Realm UK double long enough if you're tall?
The UK double is 190cm long, the same as the UK single and UK small double. If your feet already reach the end of your current bed, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it needs a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is a Vispring Realm UK double a good choice for a guest room?
For visiting couples, it gives 67.5cm each, which is plenty for a few nights, and it fits a smaller spare room far more easily than a UK king. The catch is that you're putting a handmade mattress into a room that may only be slept in occasionally.
