Layer Details
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted finish that adds cosiness and warmth. It also helps airflow and breathability, which means a slightly cooler night's sleep.
- Soft White Fibres. Soft synthetic polyester fillings that create a cosy top feel. They're durable and resilient, holding their shape and quality over time.
- Traditional Open Coil Springs. Interlaced springs joined together in a lattice design, which means your weight is distributed evenly across the mattress. This relieves built-up pressure and supports spinal alignment.

- Real stretching room for one: At 120cm wide, the UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo sleeper can shift position freely without meeting the edge.
- Fits rooms a double cannot: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears the bed and one that doesn't in a box room or studio.
- Firm support suits solo sleepers: The interlaced open coil springs give an evenly supported, slightly firmer surface, and with one person aboard the movement transfer couples notice barely matters.
- Edge support you can use: Owners across verified reviews note good edge support, useful at this width because a solo sleeper on a 4ft mattress tends to use the whole surface.
- Easy to flip in a smaller room: The mattress is reversible, and at 4ft wide it's a manageable size to turn regularly, even in a compact bedroom with little clearance.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a UK single but your room can't spare the width of a full double, you're furnishing a guest room or holiday let where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, or you're kitting out a teenager's room where every bit of floor space still matters.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, since the open coil springs transfer more movement than pocket springs and 120cm is a squeeze for two. We'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Is the Bodyshape Vitality small double big enough for two adults?
For occasional nights, yes. At 120cm wide it gives a visiting couple enough room for a short stay, which is why it works well in guest rooms. For nightly sharing it's tight, and the interlaced open coil springs pass on more movement than pocket springs, so we'd point full-time couples to the UK double, which is 15cm wider.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. That leaves space to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. If your room is smaller than that, the UK single frees up another 30cm of width; we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.
Is the small double the same length as a single?
Yes, both the UK small double and the UK single are 190cm long, or 6ft 3in in this size's imperial measurement. The extra space is all in the width, which is why the small double suits a teenager or adult who has outgrown a single sideways rather than lengthways.
How much smaller is the Bodyshape Vitality small double than the double?
The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length. That 15cm sounds modest, but in a box room, loft conversion or studio flat it can decide whether you keep a usable walkway beside the bed or lose it entirely.
