Buy Double Bed Mattress Online for Calm, Refreshing Sleep from Wakefit

A double bed mattress is a 48-inch-wide sleeping surface built for two adults, or for one sleeper who wants room to stretch out.

At Wakefit that 48-inch width is sold under the size name Diwan. There is no size group called Double here, so the double and the Diwan are the same mattress.

Every model on this page is a 72 x 48 inch build. If your frame measures 48 inches across on the inside, the Diwan variant is the one to order.

People type this search several ways. Mattress for double bed, mattress double bed, bed mattress double bed and double cot mattress all point at this one product.

So do double size mattress, double mattress, and the frequent spelling double bed matress. Width defines the size, not the wording of the query.

You can buy double bed mattress online here, and every model carries a 100-day trial, because firmness is the one thing a showroom minute cannot tell you.

More than 55 lakh mattresses have been sold across the Wakefit range, the average customer rating is 4.5 out of 5, and the foams are ISO-certified.

Shopping for a double bed mattress online, or searching mattress online double bed, brings you the same list of materials, lengths and firmness options.

Why Choose a Double Bed Mattress

A double bed mattress is 48 inches wide, against 36 inches for the single most Indian homes already own. That is a full foot of extra room.

The extra foot is why it is the default upgrade for couples, and for single sleepers who move around a lot at night.

• Couples in a bedroom that cannot take a queen frame

• One adult who sleeps diagonally, or shares the bed with a pet

• A parent who reads a child to sleep before moving them next door

• Guest rooms that have to work for one visitor or for two

More Space for Comfortable Sleep

Two adults on a 36-inch single get 18 inches each, which is narrower than an aeroplane seat. The same pair on 48 inches get 24 inches each.

A comfortable double bed mattress is therefore as much about width as it is about the foam sitting on top of it.

A Practical Balance of Space and Comfort

A queen needs 60 inches of clear floor plus walking room on both sides. In a 10 by 10 bedroom that usually means losing a wardrobe door.

The 48-inch width fits where a queen will not, which is why so many Indian bedrooms are built around it.

The best mattress for double bed use comes down to firmness and material once the width is settled.

Some want a soft mattress for double bed use, others want firm support, and that is personal rather than technical.

If you are buying a double bed with mattress together, measure the frame first, because a bed with mattress bundle is sized to the frame.

Explore Different Types of Double Bed Mattresses

The types of double bed mattress sold in India come down to four constructions, and each one feels different under the same body weight.

Match the construction to how you sleep rather than to the longest spec list.

• Memory foam - pressure relief and motion isolation, strongest for side sleepers and couples

• Orthopedic - a firmer, higher-density core that holds the hips level, the usual pick for back support

• Pocket spring - independent coils for airflow, bounce and a firmer edge to sit on

• Latex - responsive and breathable, for people who change position often and sleep warm

Memory Foam Double Bed Mattress

A memory foam double bed mattress softens with body heat and moulds around the shoulders and hips, spreading weight instead of concentrating it.

That is what makes it the standard answer for pressure relief. It also absorbs movement, so one person turning does not travel across the bed.

A foam mattress double bed build is the lightest of the four to carry upstairs and the easiest to rotate on your own.

Orthopedic Double Bed Mattress

An orthopedic mattress is built around a firmer, higher-density core that resists sinking at the hips. The aim is a neutral spine rather than a soft landing.

Orthopedic describes the support, not a separate material. At Wakefit that support is delivered in memory foam, so the two ranges overlap rather than compete.

Pocket Spring Double Bed Mattress

A pocket spring mattress sets each coil in its own fabric pocket, so the springs compress independently instead of moving as one sheet.

That gives targeted support, keeps air moving through the core, and makes the edge of the bed firmer to sit on while dressing.

Latex Double Bed Mattress

A latex mattress double bed build pushes back rather than cradling, and returns to shape almost instantly after you move.

It suits people who change position often and dislike the hugged feel of memory foam. Its open structure also carries heat away better than solid foam.

You can compare every construction across all four size groups on the main mattress range page.

Key Features to Check in a Double Bed Mattress

Five specifications decide how a double bed mattress performs over years rather than over the first week, and all five sit on the product page.

• Heat regulation - open-cell foam, latex, a grid layer or a spring core all move air

• Edge support - a firmer perimeter keeps the full 48 inches usable

• Hypoallergenic layers - relevant if dust sets off a cough or a blocked nose

• Motion isolation - the feature that decides whether a restless partner wakes you

• Warranty period - stated per model, and the clearest signal of expected life

Heat Regulation

Most Indian bedrooms run warm for eight months of the year, so heat is usually the first complaint about a new mattress.

Construction decides temperature, not the category name. Open-cell foams, latex and pocketed spring cores let air move, while a thick sealed foam block holds it.

Edge Support

A mattress with edge support keeps its shape where you sit to put your shoes on, instead of collapsing and tipping you outward.

On a 48-inch width this matters more than on a king, because two sleepers are already using the edges as sleeping space.

Hypoallergenic Layers

A hypoallergenic mattress uses materials and covers that give dust and mould less to settle into, which helps anyone who wakes up congested.

Pair it with a washable protector, since most of what triggers a reaction arrives through the bedding rather than through the foam.

Motion Isolation

A mattress with motion isolation absorbs movement where it happens instead of passing it across the bed to the other sleeper.

It is the most useful feature on a shared 48-inch width, where there is no spare room to move away from a restless partner.

A motion isolation mattress is usually memory foam or a pocketed spring hybrid, because both deaden movement rather than transmitting it.

Warranty Period

Mattress warranty terms differ by model and are printed on each product page, so compare the stated term rather than assuming a category standard.

Among the models listed below, ShapeSense Classic and XpertGrid Classic carry 10 years, and ShapeSense Infiniti carries 12 years.

Why You’ll Love a Double Bed Mattress from Wakefit

A Wakefit double bed mattress is asked to do five jobs at once, and the 48-inch width is what makes each of them workable.

Comfortable for Couples

The best mattress for couples is the one that stops one person's movement reaching the other, and that is a material decision before a size decision.

Memory foam and pocketed spring hybrids both manage it. A comfortable double bed mattress in either construction gives each sleeper 24 inches of settled space.

Compact and Space-Saving

At 48 inches the mattress still leaves walking room on both sides of a standard 10 by 10 bedroom, which a queen rarely does.

Ideal for Single Sleepers

One adult on this width can sleep diagonally, keep a book and a laptop beside them, or share with a dog without losing the night.

Easy to Move and Maintain

It is light enough for two people to rotate head to foot, and it goes up a staircase rolled rather than wrestled around a landing.

Double bed mattress maintenance at this size is a monthly vacuum and a quarterly rotation, which takes minutes rather than an afternoon.

Provides Balanced Support

Balanced support means the hips sit at the same height as the shoulders when you lie on your back, with no dip and no arch.

That comes from the core rather than from the comfort layer, which is why core density matters more than total thickness.

Double Bed Mattress vs Single, Queen and King: Which Size Is Right for You?

Double bed mattress size is 48 inches wide at Wakefit, listed as Diwan, and width is the only thing separating the four size groups.

• Single - 24, 30, 35, 36 or 42 inches wide, 72 to 81 inches long, for one sleeper

• Diwan, the double - 48 inches wide (4 feet, 121.9 cm), 72 to 96 inches long, for two adults

• Queen - 60 or 66 inches wide (60 inches is 5 feet, 152.4 cm), 72 to 96 inches long

• King - 70, 72, 78 or 84 inches wide, 72 to 90 inches long, for a couple plus a child

Length is a separate decision from width. Anyone over about five feet ten should take 78 inches (6.5 feet, 198.1 cm) rather than 72 inches (6 feet, 182.9 cm).

Every width and length with its feet and centimetre conversion sits in the mattress size guide.

Double Bed Mattress vs Single Bed Mattress

The double bed vs single comparison is 48 inches against 36 inches in the most common builds, so a full foot of extra width.

A single suits one sleeper in a compact room or a child's bedroom. See the single bed mattress range for every width we make.

Double Bed Mattress vs Queen Size Mattress

The double bed queen bed difference is 12 inches of width, because a queen is 60 inches across and a double is 48 inches.

Put another way, double bed vs queen bed size decides whether each sleeper gets 24 inches or 30 inches of width.

Compare the queen size mattress range, or read our guide to choosing between a double and a queen.

Double Bed Mattress vs King Size Mattress

The difference between double bed and king size is 22 inches or more, since kings start at 70 inches wide and run up to 84.

A king earns its place when a child joins the bed at night. Check the king size mattress range against your floor plan first.

Double Bed Mattress Maintenance: Simple Tips for Lasting Comfort

Double bed mattress maintenance is mostly about keeping dust, moisture and uneven load away from the foam. Six habits cover all of it.

Rotate Your Double Bed Mattress Regularly

Turn the mattress head to foot every three months, so the same body is not compressing the same spot every single night.

Rotate rather than flip, unless the model is built to be slept on from both sides, as Dual Comfort is.

Keep Your Mattress Clean and Dust-Free

Double bed mattress cleaning starts with a vacuum rather than a wet cloth, because water travels deeper into foam than it looks.

• Vacuum the top surface and all four seams once a month

• Strip and wash bedding every one to two weeks

• Spot-clean marks with a barely damp cloth and a mild detergent

• Let any damp patch dry completely before the bedding goes back on

• Never soak a foam mattress, and never send it for a wet clean

Use a Mattress Protector for Added Protection

A double bed mattress protector takes the sweat, spills and dust that would otherwise reach the foam, and then goes in the washing machine.

Fit one from day one. It also keeps a warranty claim straightforward, since stain damage is usually not covered.

Avoid Jumping or Putting Excess Weight on the Mattress

Point loads are what break foam and coils. Children jumping concentrate several times their body weight into a few square inches of surface.

Let Your Mattress Breathe and Air It Out

Pull the bedding back and open a window whenever you change the sheets, so overnight moisture leaves the surface instead of soaking in.

Check and Follow the Manufacturer’s Care Instructions

Each model carries its own care note on the product page, covering cover removal, cleaning method and the base it should sit on.

Follow that rather than a general rule, because a latex build and a grid build are not looked after in the same way.

Explore Wakefit's Best-Selling Double Bed Mattresses and Their Prices

People type this one several ways - double bed mattress price, mattress price double bed, double mattress price, mattress double bed price, even bed mattress double bed price.

They are all asking the same question, and four things drive what a bed mattress costs in this width.

Material comes first. Plain foam is cheapest to build, orthopedic memory foam sits in the middle, and latex, cooling grid and pocketed spring hybrids cost the most.

Size comes second. A 48-inch width uses less material than a queen or a king of the same build, which is why mattress price has to be quoted against a size.

Thickness is third, because each functional layer is a manufacturing step rather than a label. Warranty term is fourth, and it tracks the grade of the core.

The best double bed mattress for you is the one matching your sleeping position and your frame, not the one highest up this list.

FAQs

1. What is the standard size of a double bed mattress?

The standard double bed mattress is 48 inches wide, which is 4 feet or 121.9 cm. Wakefit lists that width as Diwan. The most common build is 72 x 48 inches, and lengths run from 72 inches up to 96 inches. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering, since frames vary more than mattresses do.

2. Is a 6-inch mattress suitable for a double bed?

Yes, for many sleepers. Six inches is enough for a foam or orthopedic build in this width, and it suits guest rooms, lighter sleepers and storage bases where lid clearance is tight. Heavier sleepers, and anyone who wants a pocketed spring or hybrid construction, should look further up the thickness range instead.

3. Is a 6 × 6 mattress suitable for a double bed?

No. 6 x 6 feet is 72 x 72 inches, and 72 inches of width is a king rather than a double. A double is 4 feet wide, so the size you actually want is 4 x 6 feet, which is 72 x 48 inches. In a double listing the 6 is the length.

4. Can I use a double bed mattress directly on the floor?

You can, but air has to reach the underside. A mattress laid straight onto tiles or stone traps body moisture against its base, and that is where damp and mould begin. Lift it and air it regularly, or use a slatted base. Check your model's care note, because some builds specify the base.

5. Are double bed mattresses available as 2-piece sets?

Wakefit ships this size as a single piece rather than a split set. If you need two pieces for a tight staircase, two single mattresses at 24 inches wide each measure 48 inches side by side, which matches a double frame. You get a join down the middle, so most people prefer one piece.

6. How do I choose the right mattress thickness for a double bed?

Work from body weight and base type rather than from a number. Heavier sleepers need more material above the core, so thicker helps them. A storage base with a lid needs clearance, so measure its internal depth. Thickness on its own does not predict comfort; the ratio of comfort layer to core does.

7. What type of mattress is suitable for a double bed?

All four main constructions are made in this width. Memory foam suits side sleepers and couples, orthopedic suits back support, pocket spring suits anyone who wants airflow and a firm edge, and latex suits hot sleepers who move a lot. Choose by sleeping position first, then by how warm you sleep.

8. How do I choose the right firmness for a double bed mattress?

Medium-firm works for most adults and most sleeping positions. Go firmer if you sleep on your stomach, weigh more, or get in and out of bed often. Go softer only if you sleep strictly on your side and feel pressure at the shoulder. The 100-day trial exists for exactly this decision.

9. Can a double bed mattress accommodate two sleepers comfortably?

Yes, at 24 inches each. That is comfortable for two average-build adults, especially on a construction that isolates motion so one person turning does not wake the other. If both of you are broad-shouldered, or a child joins at night, a queen at 60 inches is the better fit.

10. What should I consider when buying a double bed mattress?

Five things: the inside measurement of your frame, the length you need for your height, the construction, the firmness against your sleeping position, and the warranty term on the product page. Settle width and length first, because the frame fixes them. Everything after that is a preference you can trial.
