- Real space for one: At 30cm wider than the UK single, it lets a solo sleeper stretch, roll and starfish without an elbow hanging off 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.
- Light enough foam for tight spaces: An all-foam build with no springs arrives vacuum-sealed, so getting it up a loft staircase or into a box room is far easier than manoeuvring a rigid sprung mattress.
- Zoned support in a smaller footprint: The base layer's seven contour zones ease pressure at your shoulders and hips, so downsizing your bed doesn't mean downgrading your support.
- Copes with occasional sharing: The medium-firm foam holds two adults level for weekend stays, making this a sensible guest room size even if nobody sleeps on it nightly.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a UK single but can't spare the space a double swallows, you're furnishing a box room, studio or loft conversion where every centimetre of width matters, or you're setting up a guest room that hosts couples a few weekends a year rather than every night.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because two adults on 120cm of width will feel it. We'd recommend the UK double instead, or the UK king if your room allows, for full-time couples.

What size room do I need for a small double Eve Original?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That gives you space to open the door fully, walk down one side of the bed and fit a wardrobe or chest of drawers. In a loft conversion, check the width against your sloped ceiling line too, since the mattress sits at 120cm wide.
Is the Eve Original small double big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. The medium-firm foam supports two adults without either sinking towards the middle, so it suits a guest room hosting couples a few weekends a year. For nightly sharing it's a squeeze at 120cm wide, and full-time couples would be happier on the UK double.
Is a small double Eve Original a good upgrade from a single?
It's a natural step. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which is a noticeable difference for a teenager or adult who's outgrown their bed, while the length stays the same at 190cm. Rooms that would lose too much floor to a double often absorb it comfortably.
What bed frame fits the Eve Original in this size?
Any standard UK small double frame, sometimes sold as a 4ft frame, will fit the 120 x 190cm mattress. It's a standard UK size, so frames and fitted sheets are easy to find on the high street. The anti-slip base helps it stay put on slatted frames.
