Layer Details
- Soft damask cover. A soft woven damask cover that promotes breathability, which means heat can escape rather than build up around you. The patterned finish gives it a traditional look.
- 25mm memory foam layer. A 25mm layer of body-moulding memory foam sits above the springs, with small holes that seep out air under pressure. In practice, that means the foam moves with the contours of your body rather than trapping you in one spot.
- 1000 pocket spring unit. 1000 independently moving pocket springs respond to your movement individually. That helps prevent roll-together, so a partner shifting position is less likely to disturb you.

- Room to sprawl, alone: At 120cm wide, the UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, so a solo sleeper can stretch out across the memory foam properly.
- Fits where a double can't: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which is often the difference between a door that clears the bed and one that doesn't.
- Compact room guidance: We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m, comfortably smaller than most standard double bedrooms require.
- 1000 springs for occasional sharing: The full 1000-spring count moves independently across the 120cm width, so a guest-room couple sharing for a weekend won't roll together.
- Easier to rotate: A 4ft mattress is lighter to handle than wider sizes, and the border handles make the regular rotation this one-sided design needs less of a chore.
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 floor space still matters as much as bed space.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm is a little tight for two adults long term. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm wider; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for that size.

What are the dimensions of the Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 in a small double?
The UK small double measures 120 x 190cm, which is 4ft x 6ft 3in. It's the same 190cm length as the UK single and the UK double, so if a single already fits your room lengthways, this size only asks for extra width.
Will the small double Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 fit in a box room?
Usually, yes. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double, which leaves space to walk round and open drawers. Measure with the door swing in mind, as in narrow rooms the width of the bed decides whether the door still clears.
Is a small double Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. The 1000 pocket springs move independently, so two guests sharing for a weekend won't disturb each other much. As an everyday bed for two adults, though, 120cm is snug, and we'd point nightly couples to the UK double, which is 15cm wider.
How much bigger is the small double than the single for this mattress?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are the same length. That extra width is the appeal for a teenager or solo adult who has outgrown a single: real space to spread out, without stepping up to a double frame.
Where can I check prices for this mattress in a small double?
British Bed Company is a house brand, so availability is narrower than for big-name mattresses. The simplest route is the price table on this page, which is updated as retailers change their prices, so what you see reflects current UK small double stock.
