Collection: Double Mattresses

What is a Double Mattress?

A double mattress is designed to sleep two people, it’s a popular choice for couples and solo sleepers who want extra space. 135cm wide and 190 cm long a double mattress has enough room without overwhelming your bedroom. This size is the perfect balance, enough space for a good night’s sleep and fits in medium sized rooms.

When choosing the best double mattress you will find options to suit different comfort needs. Memory foam mattresses contour to your body, giving you a cradling effect that relieves pressure points. Pocket sprung mattresses have individually wrapped springs that give you personalised support and minimise motion transfer, perfect for couples. Hybrid mattresses combine the benefits of memory foam and pocket springs, a balanced sleep surface that suits all preferences.

Choosing the right double mattress depends on your sleeping position, preferred firmness and any specific comfort needs. Whether you go for a double memory foam mattress or a pocket sprung double mattress the right choice will improve your sleep and overall well being.

What is a Standard Double Mattress?

A standard double mattress in the UK is 135cm x 190cm, enough room for a single sleeper who wants a bit of extra space or two sleepers who don’t mind a snug fit. It’s bigger than a single but smaller than a king size, it’s the middle ground for all bedroom sizes. Its compact size fits well in medium sized rooms without overwhelming the room, giving you flexibility for furniture and decor.

Is a Double Mattress and Bed Suitable for Me?

If you want extra space but don’t need a king or super king size mattress then a double could be for you. It’s perfect for those with medium sized bedrooms and can sleep two people, but is often most popular with solo sleepers who like to spread out. For those with smaller rooms a small double bed 120cm wide and 190 cm long is a practical option that maximises floor space and still gives comfort. It can also be used as a guest bed where it has enough room for short term stays. If your bedroom layout works with a double and you want a versatile option then it could be what you need. For those with smaller living spaces a double mattress can also be paired with a storage bed frame to make the most of the space.

What Firmness is Right for Me?

Choosing the right firmness is crucial for a good night’s sleep. If you sleep on your back a medium firm double mattress gives you a balance of support and comfort and keeps your spine aligned. If you sleep on your side a softer mattress will relieve pressure on your hips and shoulders, if you sleep on your stomach a firmer mattress will prevent lower back strain. If you’re a combination sleeper a medium firm mattress will cater to your different positions. Our range has options from soft to extra firm so you can find the right firmness for your sleeping style.
