I took it as meaning a morning that is relaxed, where you aren't rushing to get anywhere or get things done.
Is there a rule about the letter M becoming double when standing before the letter A?

No, however the consonant doubling generally indicates that the preceding vowel is short.
I have never heard the word "slow" applied to a time of day in English! Lazy? Relaxed? But not slow.
if a slow morning sounds unnatural in the rest of languages but Swedish, let a native explain to us what it really means and let us stop guessing and supposing.

I googled it and it's a pretty common expression in English alright. Joseph Meehan of Oakland, CA., has explained it in great detail here: https://huckberry.com/journal/posts/slow-mornings
The thing itself probably isn't common enough anywhere in the world, though… :)

"A slow morning" in American English is most commonly used in a work context. "It's been a slow morning" means not much has happened, there hasn't been a rush of customers, there haven't been any crises, etc.
