Double Mattresses

What size is a double mattress?

A double mattress size is 135cm wide and 190cm long.

A double bed mattress is a great size for two people to sleep comfortably, with sufficient room to get a good night’s sleep. Double is a food fit for most master suites, and spare bedrooms alike. So, whether it’s yourself or your guests that are in need of a peaceful night’s sleep, double mattresses are tried, tested, and trusted.

Thanks to their convenient size, double mattresses remain one of the most popular mattress options available.

What is the best double bed mattress?

In all honesty, the best double mattress for you is the one which offers you the greatest support and feels the most comfortable while you sleep. Ideally, a good double mattress will also help to keep you at the optimum temperature for sleep throughout the night too.

There are so many options when it comes to choosing your next mattress and therefore there is not necessarily a “best mattress” out there – rather one that is a best fit for your individual sleep needs.

With so many different technologies and designs to choose from, selecting a mattress can be a minefield. But don’t worry, we are here to help.

Which double mattress should I choose?

Different sleepers want and need different things from their mattress. Here at Bensons for Beds, we try our best to cater for every sleep need and want. Here are some examples of the different double size mattresses we have available:

Double orthopaedic mattresses: A double orthopaedic mattress is ideal for those of us suffering with aches and pains both during the night, and in the morning when we wake up too. So, whether you are suffering with back or neck pain, or tend to find that a firmer mattress agrees with you better, an orthopaedic mattress in double size could be a good pick for you.

Double memory foam mattresses: Do you appreciate the conforming nature of memory foam? If so, a double memory foam mattress could be just what you need to get a great night’s sleep. Mattresses made from memory foam give sleepers a uniquely personalised sleep surface while delivering targeted relief to those pesky pressure points. Double mattresses made from memory foam (or any size memory foam mattress) are also great at reducing motion transfer. So, this option may be a winner if you or your bed partner are regularly waking the other up during the night as you move about in your sleep.

Double pocket spring mattresses: For those who overheat during the night, those who like to move around a lot in their sleep, or anyone looking for consistent support, a double pocket sprung mattress could be the ideal solution. These individually wrapped springs promote air flow in the mattress which helps to prevent heat from building up during the night. Double pocket spring mattresses are also extremely responsive while minimising the risk of motion transfer at the same time. If you’re on the lookout for a great all-rounder, a pocket sprung mattress should tick a lot of boxes.

Double hybrid mattresses: A double hybrid mattress allows mattress shoppers access to the best of both worlds solution. Hybrid mattresses combine springs and foam to keep sleepers supported, comfy, and cool.

Double latex mattresses: If you’re prone to overheating when you’re in bed, or you suffer from allergies, a double latex mattress might be what you need. Find out why in our informative Latex Mattress Buying Guide.

Double coil mattresses: Different to pocket sprung mattresses, double open coil mattresses feature hundreds of individual coils that aren’t individually wrapped. These mattresses are budget-friendly options offering enhanced air flow and responsive support. Plus, open coil mattresses tend to be lighter in weight too.

Double rolled up mattresses: A double roll up mattress (or a double bed in a box, if you prefer) is a great pick for anyone living in a multi-storey building such as a flat or an apartment. If navigating from the front door of the building to the front door of your home is going to be a bit of a nightmare, a rolled mattress will save you a headache or two. This type of mattress is delivered rolled up which means that transporting it to the bedroom it’s intended for is easier to do.

But that’s not all. We have plenty of double mattresses in our eco-friendly collection, double size mattresses under £500, and award-winning double mattresses too. Plus, if you’re on the look out for a bargain or wanting to give a mattress a second chance, in our double refurbished mattress collection, you’ll find options that are hard to say no to.

How much does a double mattress weigh?

The average weight of a double mattress is approximately 55 to 60 pounds (25kg – 27kg). But how much your double mattress weighs will depend on its mattress fillings.

Check the individual mattress product page for the measurements for each mattress. You may need to check the weight against any maximum weight restrictions that your bed has.

Are all double mattresses the same size?

Our double mattresses are the same size and have the same length and width measurements, namely 135cm wide and 190cm long. This means that a standard double mattress will fit on a standard double bed.

The thickness of a double mattress is the only measurement which varies. If you want to know the depth of your preferred mattress, check the individual product pages.

How many pocket springs are there in a double mattress?

The pocket sprung mattresses we have at Bensons for Beds contain between 1,000 and 6,000 individual pocket springs.

In short, the higher the number, the more support offered by the mattress.

What size mattress do you need for a double bed?
