As the name suggests perfect for couples, but who says you have to share if you don’t want to? Beside the standard 4ft 6” double mattress – 135cm x 190cm - there are a further 3 special sized versions which may prove equally suitable if your bed base is not the regular size. Scroll to the foot of this page for more tips to help you pick the right option.
Standard double mattress: the first of 3 sizes perfect for couples, a double mattress gives each of you space to sleep comfortably. There are a huge array of bedframes, divans and bases available to fit a double mattress size, allowing you to match comfort with style. The equivalent metric measurements of the traditional 4’6 double are 135cm x 190cm. Great for people of average height, but if you are more than 190 cm tall, more space is likely to equal better sleep. We recommend you also take a look at kings and super kings before you finally decide…
Small double mattress: this useful size may suit 1 person who likes a bit more room, or be a cosy fit for 2 average size people who want to make the most of the space in a narrower bedroom. Sometimes referred to as a ‘4ft mattress’ the small double measures 120cm x 190cm. Where space is at a premium this might just be the right size when teamed with a bed base incorporating storage. For growing teenagers who need a bit more space, this could be a temporary solution before they fly the nest.
Long small double mattress: measuring 120cm x 200 cm, we are pleased to offer this size for people who have a non-standard continental bedframe, or a small double adjustable bed with a single handset. It is important that you measure carefully before ordering to make sure this is the correct size. Long small double mattresses are made to order and take a while to come. We don't want you to be disappointed when it arrives!
