Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, a solo sleeper can lie diagonally or starfish without an arm dropping off the edge.
- Kinder to a small floor plan: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can be the difference between a bedroom door that swings fully open and one that catches the bed.
- Easier to flip in tight rooms: Turning to the summer or winter side means lifting a 39cm mattress, and a 4ft width usually gives you more clearance to do that in a box room.
- Familiar bedding: Small double (4ft) fitted sheets and a standard double duvet suit it, although check the sheet pockets are deep enough for a 39cm mattress.
- Works for the odd couple's visit: Two guests can share for a weekend, which makes the UK small double a sensible pick for a spare room nobody sleeps in nightly.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and keep waking up at the edge of a single, your spare room hosts the occasional couple rather than nightly sharers, or a teenager has outgrown their single but the bedroom can't spare much more floor.
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 for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Will a UK small double Flaxby Silkstone fit in a box room?
It measures 120 x 190cm, or 4ft x 6ft 3in, and we suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m. Measure where the door swings and where any radiator sits, because a few centimetres often decide whether you can still get in comfortably. In a loft conversion, check you can stand beside the bed under the sloping ceiling.
Is the Flaxby Silkstone small double big enough for two people?
For occasional stays, yes, and many couples are happy sharing for a weekend in a guest room. For nightly sharing it feels a little snug. The UK double is 15cm wider at the same length and gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, so it's the better choice if you sleep together every night.
Should my teenager move from a single to a UK small double?
If they've started to sprawl, it's a sensible step. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and the same length, so the bed grows sideways only. We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double, against 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single, so measure their room first.
What size sheets fit the Flaxby Silkstone UK small double?
Use small double (4ft) fitted sheets with a standard double duvet. The mattress is 39cm deep, so look for fitted sheets with deep pockets, as shallower ones can ping off the corners. Pillowcases and duvet covers in standard double sizes are easy to find on the high street.
Is the Flaxby Silkstone small double long enough if I'm tall?
It's 190cm long, the same as the UK single and UK double, so going wider won't add length. If your feet hang over standard beds, the UK king is 10cm longer, although we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. Measure the room carefully, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
