In the UK, a standard double mattress is 135cm wide and 190cm long (4ft 6in wide and 6ft 3in long). This provides enough space for two people to sleep comfortably or for a single sleeper to spread out.

For anyone looking to refresh their sleep space, buying the right mattress is crucial. Different mattress styles suit different sleepers, so make sure you research your options to find the best fit for your preferences. Pocket-sprung mattresses, for example, let you move around without disturbing your partner’s sleep, while hybrid mattresses offer a combination of styles. Our mattress buying guide can help you learn more about the different double mattresses available, so you can find your perfect match.

If you’re still having trouble getting a good night’s sleep after choosing your mattress, you may want to consider other options to help. Our list of sleep care essentials offers advice on how to customise your bedtime routine for the best sleep possible, while our Christmas sleep report features some common tips and tricks to help you get better rest.

A double mattress is large enough to suit two sleepers, but since it’s smaller than queen, king, and super king options, it can help save space in your room. Double mattresses are also an excellent choice for solo sleepers who need more room to spread out in the night.
