Key benefits
- Space to spread out on your own: At 30cm wider than the UK single, it lets a solo sleeper lie diagonally or starfish without an arm dropping off the side.
- Suits a smaller room: We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m, so a box room or modest second bedroom can take a proper double-style bed.
- Full length, slightly less width: It matches the UK double for length and gives up 15cm of width, which keeps a little more floor clear around the bed.
- Room for an occasional guest couple: Two people can share for a weekend visit, which makes it a sensible choice for a guest room nobody sleeps in nightly.
- The same build at a compact scale: You get the same pocket spring construction Flaxby sells up to a UK emperor, scaled down to sit on a 4ft frame.
- Bedding is easy to find: Small double fitted sheets are made for this 4ft size, and a standard double duvet covers it with some overhang to spare.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, have outgrown a UK single and want room to stretch, or you're furnishing a box room, loft conversion or guest room where a full double would crowd the floor and couples only stay occasionally.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night and both want your own space. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Flaxby Natural Cashmere Vale small double big enough for two people?
For a weekend guest couple, yes, it's workable. For nightly sharing it's tight, and most couples will be more comfortable on the UK double, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing. If the room allows it, we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK small double mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves space to walk round the bed and open a door or wardrobe without squeezing past the frame, which matters most in box rooms and loft conversions.
How much wider is a small double than a single mattress?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and both are the same length. If your teenager has outgrown a single but the room can't spare much floor, sizing up to the UK small double adds width only. We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for a UK single, against 2.4m x 2.8m here.
Is a UK small double long enough for a tall adult?
It's 190cm long, the same as the UK double, so most adults fit comfortably. If you're very tall and your feet already reach the end of a standard bed, the UK king is 10cm longer. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
What sheets and duvet fit a Flaxby Natural Cashmere Vale small double?
Buy fitted sheets labelled small double or 4ft, as standard double sheets will sit loose on a 120cm width. A standard double duvet works well on top. Flaxby doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so check the pocket depth on fitted sheets with the brand before ordering.
