4'6 Double Mattresses

What Size is a 4ft 6 Double Mattress?

A 4'6 double mattress is one of the most popular and versatile mattress sizes in the UK. Measuring 135cm x 190cm (4 feet 6 inches wide by 6 feet 3 inches long), it acts as a balance between comfort and practicality, offering enough space for two people to sleep comfortably, while still fitting neatly in most bedrooms.

Whether you’re upgrading from a single, furnishing a couple’s room, or looking for a flexible option for guests, the UK double mattress remains a favourite across homes, rentals, and shared living setups. It’s also compatible with the widest range of UK bed frames, divans, and ottomans. To see how it compares to other options, check out our Mattress Size Guide.

Who is a Double Mattress Best For?

Double mattresses are perfect for:

• Couples sharing a bed in standard-sized bedrooms
• Solo Sleepers who like to stretch out
• Teenagers or Young Adults upgrading from a single
• Larger Guest Rooms with the space available for their guests to sleep comfortably
• HMO or Rentals, when able to fit in larger bed sizes
  

With enough width to accommodate two average-sized adults and a wide range of different options available, the 4ft6 mattress is a sensible choice for most households.
