A standard UK double mattress measures 135 x 190cm, also referred to as 4ft 6in. This is the most common mattress size for couples in the UK and fits standard UK double bed frames.
A double mattress can comfortably sleep two adults, but each person has around 67.5cm of space, which is less than a single bed provides one person. Couples who move around a lot during the night may prefer the extra width of a king size mattress.
A king size mattress measures 150 x 200cm compared to a double at 135 x 190cm. The king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer, which makes a noticeable difference in sleeping comfort, particularly for taller sleepers or couples who want more space.
Pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses are generally the best choices for couples, as individually wrapped springs minimise motion transfer across the mattress when one person moves. This helps both sleepers get a less disturbed night.
A standard UK double mattress at 135 x 190cm will fit any UK standard double bed frame. If your frame is from a European retailer or is older, check the internal frame dimensions carefully, as European doubles are often slightly wider and longer than UK standard.
