Layer Details
Pocket springs
Six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico. Each spring works on its own, so the base supports you where you lie and the mattress responds as you move.
Natural fillings
Layers of natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. These add cushioning over the springs, and natural fibres tend to feel breathable, though this is a traditional build rather than a cooling one.
Wool protector pad
A wool protector pad sits on top for extra comfort. It gives the surface a soft, natural finish between you and the fillings underneath.

Key benefits
- Leaves room to live around: At 135 x 190cm, a UK double usually lets you keep a bedside table on each side and still open the wardrobe doors in a typical master bedroom.
- Fewer disturbances at close quarters: With 67.5cm each for two sharing, independent pocket springs help, because one person shifting position is less likely to jolt the other awake.
- A middle ground for mixed couples: The medium tension suits most pairs, although a noticeably heavier partner may want firmer pushback than this UK double gives.
- No hunting for bedding: Double sheets and duvets are sold in almost every shop, so dressing a premium mattress in this size needs no specialist linen.
- A proper bed for guests: In a spare room, a UK double gives visiting couples a real shared bed without swallowing a space that serves as a study the rest of the year.
This size suits you if...
You share a bed in a typical UK bedroom and want space for bedside tables on both sides, or you're setting up a spare room for visiting couples and want medium pocket spring support in a footprint that still leaves space to move around.
Consider another size if...
You're both tall or broad and 67.5cm each already feels tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

FAQ's
Will a Vispring Traditional UK double fit a room with two bedside tables?
In most cases, yes. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double, with around 3m x 3m giving comfortable space around the bed. If your room sits near that minimum, measure your bedside tables before buying, as a slim one on one side may be the practical compromise.
Is the Vispring Traditional UK double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK double is 190cm long, the same length as the UK single. If either of you is tall enough for your feet to reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer, though it needs a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance.
How much space does each person get on a Vispring UK double?
Two people sharing a UK double get 67.5cm each. That's 7.5cm less each than on the UK king and 22.5cm less each than on the UK super king, so couples who sleep spread out may feel the difference.
Do pocket springs help couples sharing a UK double?
Yes, a little more than on a wider bed. Each spring moves on its own, which means movement stays closer to the person making it. On a UK double, where you lie nearer each other than on the UK king, that reduced motion transfer is more noticeable night to night.
Is a Vispring UK double a sensible choice for a guest room?
It can be, if you host couples often and want them properly comfortable. The medium tension suits most visitors, and standard double bedding is easy to find. It is a premium mattress, though, so for occasional guests you may prefer to spend less on a spare room bed.
