Key benefits
- Real room for one: At 30cm wider than the UK single, it lets a solo sleeper change position freely without teetering near the edge.
- Fits compact double bedrooms: 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.
- Firm support across the full width: Pocket springs respond to your body individually, so the firm feel stays consistent whether you sleep centred or sprawled diagonally.
- Practical for occasional guests: Two people can share for the odd night, and the independent springs mean one guest turning over is less likely to wake the other.
- Easy to dress: The 4ft small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are simple to find, with a standard double duvet on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, prefer a firm surface on your back or front, and want more width than a UK single without giving a small room over to the bed. It also fits a guest room or holiday let where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, or a teenager who has outgrown a single in a room that can't spare much floor space.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, since 120cm is a squeeze for two adults long term. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Is the small double Emerald 16500 big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. At 120 x 190cm two adults will fit, and the pocket springs limit how much you disturb each other. For nightly sharing it's a little tight, especially on a firm mattress where you stay on the surface rather than settling in. Couples would be better served by the UK double or UK king.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. That leaves enough space to walk round the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. If your room comfortably exceeds 2.6m x 2.8m, the UK double becomes an option too, so measure before you decide.
How much wider is the small double than a single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and both are the same length at 190cm. On a firm mattress like this one, that extra width matters more than you'd expect, because you sleep on top of the surface rather than sinking into a fixed spot.
Will the firmer feel suit one person on this size?
Pocket springs support each part of your body independently, so a solo sleeper gets consistent firm support even lying diagonally across the 120cm width. If you're a lightweight side sleeper, though, the firm feel may press at the shoulder and hip regardless of size, so check the softer variants of this model first.
Where can I buy this mattress in a small double?
