Layer Details
- Reflex Foam. A soft, flexible reflex foam layer that supports spinal alignment. In practice, this means your back stays in a more neutral position as you sleep.
- High Density Memory Foam. A layer of high density memory foam for added support. It contours gently to your shape, easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Pocket Springs. 1,000 sturdy pocket springs with a unique curvature, each sat in its own individual pocket. The high-tensile springs react independently to movement, which means less disturbance when a partner turns over.
- Foam Encapsulated Border. A reinforced perimeter made from durable, sturdy foam. This firms up the edges, so sitting on the side of the bed or sleeping near it feels stable.

- Real stretching room for one: At 120cm wide you can shift position freely through the night, which matters more on a medium firm mattress where you settle onto the surface rather than into it.
- Fits rooms a double crowds: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, often the difference between a door that clears the bed frame and one that doesn't in a box room or studio.
- Compact footprint, modest height: The 20cm depth keeps the bed low-profile, which helps in loft conversions and smaller rooms where a tall mattress can make the space feel cramped.
- Copes with the odd shared night: The 1,000 pocket springs react independently to movement, so when a partner does stay over, their turning is less likely to wake you.
- Edge you can actually use: The foam encapsulated border keeps the perimeter stable, useful at 4ft wide where a guest pushes you closer to the edge than a double would.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone most nights and have outgrown a UK single but can't spare the width a full double takes, you're furnishing a box room, loft conversion or small second bedroom where every centimetre of floor space counts, or you want a guest bed that handles the occasional couple without dominating the room. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm is workable for occasional stays but tight as a permanent arrangement on a medium firm surface. We'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the room.

Is a small double big enough for one adult to spread out on?
Yes, comfortably. The UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single at the same 190cm length, so a solo adult can starfish or change position without hanging over the edge. On this mattress the foam encapsulated border firms up the perimeter too, so the full 120cm width is genuinely usable.
Can a couple share the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid small double regularly?
For occasional nights, yes. The pocket springs limit motion transfer, so a guest turning over shouldn't disturb you much. For every night, 120cm is tight for two adults, and the medium firm tension means you rest on the surface rather than sinking away from each other. Couples would do better sizing up to the UK double.
Will the Bodyshape 1000 small double fit in a box room?
Usually, which is the main reason to choose this size. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m, enough to open the door, walk down one side and add a small chest of drawers. If your room meets the UK double's guidance of 2.6m x 2.8m, the extra 15cm of width may be the better buy.
Is the small double the same length as a single?
Yes, both the UK small double and the UK single are 190cm long. All the extra space is in the width: 30cm more of it. If length is your problem, a taller sleeper would need the UK king, which is 10cm longer than the UK small double, rather than this size.
Where can I buy the Bodyshape 1000 Pocket Hybrid in a small double?
Availability shifts, so the most reliable answer is the live comparison table on this page, which is updated as retailers change their prices and stock. Check that the listing specifies 120 x 190cm before ordering, since the small double is the size most often confused with the standard UK double.
