Layer Details
- Ticking. The mattress is covered in soft, finest quality ticking. It is the surface you will actually feel through your sheet, so the softness here matters.
- Hand tufting and side-stitching. Hand tufting with felt washers anchors the fillings so they stay evenly distributed rather than migrating. Two rows of hand side-stitching strengthen the edge, giving you usable sleeping space right to the border.
- Springs and pockets. The 5 foot size holds 1,326 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils and hand-nested in its own calico pocket, sitting beneath a wool protector pad. Individual pockets mean each spring moves on its own, which reduces the ripple you feel when a partner turns over.
- Borders. The borders are upholstered in wool and fitted with air vents and handles. The vents let the mattress breathe while the handles make turning and repositioning it a little easier.

- Classic shared size, sensible footprint: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double leaves space for a wardrobe and drawers in a typical second bedroom or first flat.
- Edges you can actually use: Two rows of hand side-stitching firm up the border, which matters on a UK double because at 67.5cm each you will often sleep close to the side.
- Less disturbance from your partner: Each spring sits in its own calico pocket, which means a partner turning over sends less movement across a bed where you lie fairly close together.
- Cooler for two bodies: Wool borders with air vents let the mattress breathe, a real help when two people share the heat of a UK double.
- Firm support for heavier couples: The Firm tension holds two adults level, so neither of you rolls towards the middle, although lightweight side sleepers may find the shoulder pressure a little much.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner in a typical UK bedroom and want firm, handmade support without a king crowding the room, or you sleep alone and like space to stretch out, perhaps with a dog or cat claiming the bottom corner.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner already feel short of space side by side. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

How much space does each person get on a Vispring Realm UK double?
Each of you gets 67.5cm of width on the UK double. That is enough for most couples, and the reinforced edges help you use the full width. If you want more, the UK king gives 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person.
Will a Vispring Realm UK double fit in my bedroom with bedside tables?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double. If you want bedside tables on both sides with comfortable space to walk around, allow around 3m x 3m, which is the more relaxed norm for this size.
How many springs are in the Vispring Realm double?
The published figure of 1,326 vanadium steel springs applies to the 5 foot size. The UK double is 4ft 6in wide, so check the retailer listing for its spring count rather than assuming it matches. Each spring is still hand-nested in its own calico pocket.
Is the Vispring Realm UK double long enough for tall people?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. That suits most adults, but if either of you is tall enough for your feet to reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer as well as 15cm wider.
Is a Vispring Realm double good for a guest room?
For a guest room that hosts visiting couples, the UK double is a practical choice. It sleeps two without dominating a smaller room. The Firm tension suits most guests, but lighter side sleepers may find it a little unyielding.
