What size is a double mattress in the UK?
A UK double mattress is 135 cm wide by 190 cm long, or 4'6" × 6'3". It is the standard double size across UK bed frames and divans.
Is a double mattress big enough for two adults?
It works, but each sleeper gets 67.5 cm — less than the width of a single bed. Couples who have the floor space for a king almost always prefer it. For occasional sharing or a guest room, a double is fine.
What room size do I need for a double bed?
Around 2.7 × 3.0 m is comfortable. That leaves roughly 60–75 cm of walking space on both sides, which matters when two people are getting in and out.
Is a double mattress long enough for a tall person?
At 190 cm it suits sleepers up to roughly 6'0". Above that, a king or super king at 200 cm long is a noticeably better night’s sleep, even if you do not need the extra width.
What is the difference between a double and a king size mattress?
A king is 150 × 200 cm, so 15 cm wider and 10 cm longer than a double. Shared between two people that is 75 cm each instead of 67.5 cm — the width of a full single each.
Do you deliver double mattresses across the UK for free?
Yes. Every Luxe double ships with free, fully tracked, white glove 2 man UK delivery, and we will remove your old mattress if you ask.
Will a double mattress fit up a narrow staircase?
Usually yes. Our mattresses are delivered flat rather than vacuum-rolled, so the full 135 cm has to travel the route. Tight half-turn landings are the usual pinch point — tell us when you order and our 2 man team will plan for it.
