Layer Details
- Bonded upholstery layer. Bonded British fleece wool and cotton, which means the fibres are held together for consistent support and stability. This is the layer closest to you, so you feel its evenness night after night.
- Layered filling. A second layer of British fleece wool and cotton. Wool wicks moisture and regulates temperature naturally, so hot sleepers should find it slightly more forgiving than synthetic fillings.
- Spring system. Hand-nested calico pocket springs in a single layer, with 1,254 springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring works independently, which means less motion transfer to a partner and support that follows your shape.
Layer details from vispring.com product page, September 2026.
- Fits a typical bedroom: We suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, which means a UK double usually leaves room for bedside tables on both sides and a wardrobe door that opens fully.
- Less disturbance when sharing: Each hand-nested spring moves on its own, which means your partner turning over beside you is less likely to wake you, even on a narrower shared surface.
- Stays cooler for two: The wool and cotton fillings wick moisture away, which helps on a UK double, where two people sleep closer together than they would on a UK king.
- Simple to dress: Double sheets and a 200 x 200cm double duvet are sold almost everywhere, so finding bedding that fits this Vispring takes no hunting around.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and your bedroom is around 2.6m x 2.8m, you want bedside tables on both sides without edging sideways past the bed, or you're furnishing a guest room for visiting couples who would appreciate a firmer, natural-fill mattress.
Consider another size if...
One of you sprawls or sleeps restlessly, and your room is at least 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each and is 10cm longer.

How much space does each person get on a Vispring Traditional Bedstead UK double?
Two people sharing get 67.5cm each on the UK double. The UK king gives 75cm each, so the UK double gives 7.5cm less per person. For most couples who sleep fairly still, the UK double is comfortable; if one of you tends to spread out, that extra width in the UK king makes a noticeable difference.
What are the Vispring Traditional Bedstead UK double dimensions in feet?
The UK double measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in, which is 135 x 190cm. Those figures cover the mattress base; the generous wool and cotton fillings add some doming on top, so check your bedstead frame is made for standard UK double dimensions rather than a European size.
Will a Vispring 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, with around 3m x 3m giving you comfortable space to walk round the bed and open drawers. If your room is close to the minimum, measure your bedside tables before buying.
Is the Vispring Traditional Bedstead UK double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, the same length as the UK small double and UK single. The UK king and UK super king are both 10cm longer. If either of you finds your feet reaching the end of your current bed, one of those longer sizes would suit you better.
Is a Vispring Traditional Bedstead UK double a good choice for a guest room?
It can be, particularly where guests arrive as couples. The UK double sleeps two in a footprint that suits a second bedroom alongside a wardrobe and drawers, where a UK king would need at least 2.7m x 2.9m. Bear in mind the feel is on the firmer side, which some guests may find a little unyielding.
