Double Mattresses
Double mattresses are a winning choice, whether you're a singleton or a couple. Doubles are the UK's most popular bed size as they offer enough space for a single sleeper to stretch out or a couple to snuggle up. Whichever type of sleeper you are, our range of double mattresses will help you get your essential rest, as we have mattresses in all firmness ratings, types and prices.
What size is a double mattress?
A double mattress measures 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in or 135cm x 190cm. This makes it larger than a single mattress, the ideal choice for couples or solo sleepers. Not sure if a double sized mattress is right for your bedroom? Check out our mattress size guide for more info!
What types of double mattresses are available?
Here at Happy Beds, we sell a variety of double mattresses to suit any sleeper, with our most popular types being:
Double memory foam mattresses
Enjoy complete and personalised support throughout the night with a double memory foam mattress. These mattresses use your body heat to mould to your curves, giving you customised support before bouncing back to its original shape in the morning.
Double orthopaedic mattresses
A double orthopaedic mattress is ideal for those who suffer from lower back pain or achy joints! These mattresses are still comfy but help to promote a healthy spinal alignment as you sleep to relieve pressure on your body.
Double pocket sprung mattresses
Pocket sprung mattresses are great for solo sleepers or couples who move around often at night. That's because a double pocket spring mattress consists of thousands of individually wrapped pocket springs that work independently from each other, reducing the amount of movement you experience.
Double open coil spring mattresses
If you're looking for an affordable mattress that still offers high levels of support, then a double open coil spring mattress is the perfect solution. Open coil mattresses, also called Bonnell spring or traditional mattresses, consist of interlinked springs that evenly distribute weight.
Double latex foam mattresses
Offering the same level of custom support as a memory foam mattress, our double latex foam mattresses are also hypoallergenic thanks to their latex foam construction. This makes them great for sleepers with allergies or asthma!
Double hybrid mattresses
A double hybrid mattress combines the support of foam and springs in one comfortable mattress to give you the best of both worlds. Hybrid mattresses can be made of pocket springs or open coil springs, with layers of comfy memory, latex or reflex foam.

What firmness ratings do double mattresses come in?
Choosing the right firmness for your mattress can determine whether you get a restful sleep or night, which is why we stock double mattresses in the following firmness ratings:
- Soft double mattresses
- Soft/medium double mattresses
- Medium double mattresses
- Medium/firm double mattresses
- Firm double mattresses
Buying the wrong mattress firmness can lead to interrupted sleep alongside aches and pains during the day, so knowing which firmness suits you best is essential. Finding your perfect firmness rating is determined by multiple factors, including:
- Your weight
- Your personal preference
- Any injuries you might have
- Your sleeping position
Our handy mattress firmness tool is available on all mattress pages, allowing you to input your weight (and a partner, if applicable) to get the ideal mattresses to suit. In addition, we also have guides focusing on the best mattresses for side sleepers and front sleepers, so make sure to check out those as well!
Is a double mattress suitable for couples?
Yes, a double mattress is the most popular choice for couples across the UK! That's because a double mattress offers enough space for couples to sleep comfortably without occupying too much space in a bedroom. So, even for homes running short on room, a double bed and mattress will fit comfortably!
They're just as comfy as our double mattress range, just slightly bigger!
Can a child use a double mattress?
A child can use a double mattress if they have a double bed. Choosing a double mattress for your child won't give them any extra benefits except having more space to spread out, so why not if they have the space in their bedroom?
What is the best double mattress to buy?
The best double mattress to buy purely depends on personal preference, so we can't say which mattress is definitively the best. What suits one person will not suit another, so we have a wide range of double mattresses to choose from! No matter your preference, we will surely have a mattress to suit you here at Happy Beds.
