Layer Details
- Ticking. The outer cover is made from soft, finest quality ticking. It's the surface you'll actually feel through your sheets, so the softness matters more than it might sound.
- Fillings. Beneath the cover sit British fleece wool, cotton, horsetail and real Shetland wool. These natural fibres wick moisture and regulate temperature, which means less of the clammy warmth you can get with foam layers.
- Springs. The 5 foot size holds 2112 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils, hand-nested in calico pockets and topped with a wool protector pad. Because each spring works independently, the mattress contours to your shape and limits movement transferring across the bed.
- Borders. The wool-upholstered borders include air vents and handles. The vents help the natural fillings breathe, and the handles make turning the mattress far less of a struggle.

- Fits the room you actually have: At 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, the UK double often leaves room for bedside tables on both sides where a UK king would squeeze one out.
- Fewer jolts in a closer bed: Each spring sits in its own calico pocket, which means a partner turning over beside you is less likely to wake you, even with only 67.5cm each.
- Cooler when you're sleeping close: The wool, cotton and horsetail fillings breathe better than foam, which helps when two people share a narrower bed and warmth builds up between you.
- A tension to suit your build: You can choose soft, medium or firm, so a lighter side sleeper and a heavier back sleeper can agree on a feel rather than accept one house firmness.
- Easy to dress: Double sheets and duvets are sold almost everywhere, so a specialist mattress doesn't leave you hunting for specialist bedding.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner in a typical UK bedroom and want to keep a bedside table each side, or you sleep alone and like space for a dog or cat curled at your feet. It also suits a well-used guest room where visiting couples stay for a few nights.
Consider another size if...
You're both broad-shouldered or restless and 67.5cm each already feels tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 7.5cm more each and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Will a Vispring Superb double fit in a small bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving you comfortable space to walk round. In a first flat or second bedroom that also has to hold a wardrobe and drawers, measure carefully, because the UK double is the smallest size this model is made in.
Vispring Superb double vs king: how much extra room do you get?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, giving 75cm each for two sharing against 67.5cm on the UK double. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, so check your floor space before sizing up.
Is the Vispring Superb double long enough if you're tall?
The UK double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. If your feet already reach the end of your current bed, the UK king and UK super king are both 10cm longer, which gives taller sleepers more room with exactly the same construction and feel.
Is a Vispring Superb double comfortable for two restless sleepers?
The independent pocket springs limit movement travelling across the bed, which helps a great deal. Even so, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, so elbows can still meet. If one of you sprawls, the UK super king gives 22.5cm more each and needs a room of at least 3m x 2.9m.
Is a Vispring Superb double sensible for a guest room?
It suits a spare room where couples visit often, since the UK double is the familiar shared size and fits where a larger bed would dominate. Yes, it's a big spend for occasional use, but hand-nested springs and natural fillings are built to see out many years of visits.
