Key benefits
- Space to sprawl on your own: It's 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo sleeper can turn over or lie starfished on the firm surface without finding the edge.
- Leaves floor space in tight rooms: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can decide whether a door still swings open or a wardrobe still clears in a box room.
- Firm support for a growing teenager: A teenager moving up from a single gets the same length with more width, on a supportive spring build rather than a soft, sinking one.
- Easier to flip in a small room: It's two-sided with border handles, and turning a 4ft mattress in a cramped bedroom is a simpler job than wrestling a wider one.
- Fine for the odd couple's stay: Guests sharing for a weekend will manage comfortably enough, although the firm feel and narrower width suit occasional use far better than nightly sharing.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want more room than a single gives, your bedroom is compact but meets our suggested minimum of 2.4m x 2.8m, or you're furnishing a guest room where a couple might stay a few nights a year.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night with a partner. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Is the Contract Hotel Rest Deluxe UK small double big enough for two people?
For occasional stays, yes. Two adults can share it for a weekend, though the firm surface gives less cushioning when you're closer together. If you'll share nightly, the UK double is the better choice: it gives 67.5cm each and is the same length, so neither of you loses legroom.
Will a UK small double fit in a box room?
We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. In a box room the width usually decides things, so measure from the wall to the door's full swing before buying. Being 15cm narrower than the UK double often leaves just enough clearance to get in and out comfortably.
Is a UK small double a good upgrade for a teenager outgrowing a single?
It's a sensible step up. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single but the same length, so it adds sprawling room without eating much more floor. The firm, traditional feel of this mattress suits a growing back that needs support, although a teenager who loves a soft bed may find it a little unyielding.
What size sheets fit a Contract Hotel Rest Deluxe small double?
Use small double (4ft) fitted sheets, with a deep enough pocket to cover the 26cm depth. Standard double duvets work well on a UK small double. Because the mattress is two-sided, a fitted sheet with a generous elastic edge makes it easier to strip and refit when you flip it.
Small double or double for a loft conversion bedroom?
In a loft conversion with a sloping ceiling, the UK small double often leaves standing room beside the bed where a UK double wouldn't. It's 15cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m against 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double. Check you'll have the headroom to flip it.
