Factors to consider for mattress size
Body size

A Double size mattress is best suited for a single adult especially if the person is near 6 feet in height. If you are a person considering a double size mattress, make sure that you are not taller than 6 feet and if you are, then consider the XL variation of the double size mattress.
 
Family Size

Double size mattress is best considered to be fit for a single person with a pet or a baby or an adult couple if they are comfortable sleeping in slight tighter space. If you like to sprawl out while sleeping, then consider a bigger size than double size mattress.
 
Room size

Architects and designers recommend considering room size as an important factor in deciding the mattress size. The golden rule of thumb is a ratio of 3:1 which means that your room should be 3 times the size of the mattress area. A standard double mattress takes 28 square feet of space. So, if the size of the room is 85 square feet or more, the double size mattress should be a good size. Most of the homes and rooms, be it a new modern home or a century old house, a double size mattress should fit easily.
 
House Size

A double size mattress should be easy to move within a house whether you need it on main floor of if you need to move it up or down the stairs. Often the double mattress will flex and fit, however the box-spring is rigid and inflexible. A double size mattress is typically lesser in weight as compared to king or queen mattress and two people should be able to move it around without significant effort.
