About Double Mattresses

Ditch restless, space-deprived nights and rediscover the meaning of comfort with The Original Bed Co's double mattress collection.

Whether you're upgrading your master bedroom or outfitting a guest room, our double mattresses provide a comfortable sleep solution tailored to your needs.

Why Choose a Double Mattress?

A double mattress is one of the most commonly chosen sizes in the UK, with dimensions of 135cm x 190cm (4'6" x 6'3"). It fits comfortably between a small double and a king-size.

Double mattresses are large enough to accommodate two people yet compact enough to fit in most bedrooms, giving you the best of both worlds without sacrificing too much floor space.

Choosing the Right Double Mattress

Finding the ideal double mattress depends on personal preferences and specific sleep requirements. Here are a few key factors to consider when making your choice:

Sleeping Position

Your preferred sleeping position can affect which mattress suits you best. If you sleep on your side, softer mattresses are better as they provide cushioning for your shoulders and hips.

Back and stomach sleepers typically prefer medium to firmer options for better spinal support.

Firmness Levels

Double mattresses come in a range of firmness levels, from soft to extra firm. Selecting the right firmness level is essential to achieving optimal comfort, especially if you have specific support needs or preferences.

Materials and Construction

Choosing the right mattress material can impact your overall comfort and sleep quality. Options include pocket-sprung mattresses, which offer excellent support and motion isolation or memory foam mattresses that contour to your body's shape for customised comfort.

• Couples Sharing a Bed

Double vs. Other Mattress Sizes

When choosing a double mattress, it can be helpful to compare it with other sizes. A double mattress is larger than a small double, which measures 120cm x 190cm (4'0" x 6'3"), providing more space for couples or single sleepers who enjoy stretching out.

However, it's more compact than a king-size mattress, which measures 150cm x 200cm (5'0" x 6'6"), making it a better fit for smaller bedrooms while still offering generous sleeping space.
