Layer Details
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted cover with breathability, which means heat can escape rather than building up at the surface. It's a simple touch but a welcome one on a memory foam mattress.
- 6cm memory foam. This layer adapts to the contours of your body for soothing pressure relief. In practice, that means a gentle cradling feel around your hips and shoulders as you settle in.
- 14cm Reflex foam core. A supportive core that creates the medium to firm feel. This is what keeps your spine aligned and stops you sinking too far into the mattress.

- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single and the same length, it gives a solo sleeper space to shift position without teetering at the edge.
- Fits rooms a double won't: Being 15cm narrower than a UK double, it can be the difference between a door that clears and one that doesn't in a box room or studio.
- Contouring without wallowing: The 6cm memory foam layer cradles hips and shoulders, which means pressure relief for a solo sleeper who settles into one spot for the night.
- A firm base underneath: The 14cm Reflex foam core keeps your spine aligned, so you sink into the surface rather than through the mattress.
- Sensible for guest rooms: A couple staying the odd night will manage comfortably, and the medium firm feel is a safe middle ground for visitors you can't ask in advance.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a single but can't spare the floor space a double demands, your bedroom, loft conversion or studio is tight enough that 15cm of width genuinely matters, or you're furnishing a guest room or rental second bedroom where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space and it should sit comfortably.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, because 120cm across two adults leaves little margin on a mattress you can't spread out on. We'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m of room.

What size is the Bodyshape Classic small double?
It measures 120 x 190cm, which is 4ft x 6ft 3in. That's 30cm wider than the UK single and exactly the same length, so a taller sleeper gains nothing in legroom by choosing it, but a great deal in elbow room. Standard small double fitted sheets fit, paired with a normal double duvet.
Is the Bodyshape Classic small double big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. Two adults will fit, and the Reflex foam core stops the surface collapsing toward the middle. For every night, 120cm shared between two people is snug, and the memory foam's cradling feel works best when you're not pinned to one narrow strip. Couples sharing nightly should look at the UK double.
Will the Bodyshape Classic small double fit in a box room?
Usually, and that's largely the point of this size. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which leaves enough space to walk around the bed and open the door. If your room falls short of that, the UK single is 30cm narrower and needs at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
Should I buy the small double or the double Bodyshape Classic?
It comes down to your room and who sleeps there. The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, and both are the same length, so the choice is purely about width. Sleeping solo in a compact room, take the small double. Sharing regularly, the UK double is the better buy if you can allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is a small double memory foam mattress good for a teenager?
It's a sensible step up. The Bodyshape Classic's medium firm feel supports a growing back, and because the UK small double is the same length as a UK single, only wider, it upgrades comfort without eating much more floor space. A lighter teenager who sleeps on their side may find it slightly too solid, so bear their sleeping position in mind.
