Layer Details
Advanced Cortec Quad pocket springs
This is the main pocket spring system, described as award-winning. It gives the mattress its firm, supportive base, so you lie on top of the surface rather than sinking into it.
Micro spring layer
A layer of 2,500 high-density micro springs sits above the main system. It adds a finer level of cushioning, which helps ease pressure and takes some of the edge off the firm tension.

Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: At 120cm wide, it gives a solo sleeper generous space to shift position on a firm surface without ever nearing the edge.
- Fits where a double won't: Being 15cm narrower than a UK double, it can be the difference between a door that clears the bed frame and one that doesn't.
- Modest room requirement: We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which brings a proper firm pocket spring mattress within reach of box rooms and small second bedrooms.
- Copes with occasional sharing: Pocket springs move independently, so when a visiting couple shares this size for a night or two, one person turning disturbs the other less.
- Standard 4ft bedding: Small double is a stock UK size, and the 24cm depth means ordinary 4ft fitted sheets should go on without a struggle.
This size suits you if...
You're a solo adult who has outgrown a single and wants proper stretching room without giving up floor space, your bedroom or loft conversion can't take a full double but you still want a bed that feels grown up, or you're kitting out a guest room or holiday let where couples stay occasionally rather than every night.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night: 120cm is tight for two firm-mattress sleepers long term. The Pure Response Firm isn't made in a UK double, so we'd recommend the UK king instead, allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m of room.

FAQ's
Is a small double Pure Response Firm big enough for a couple every night?
For occasional stays, yes: the pocket springs limit how much one person's movement travels across the 120cm width. As a nightly bed for two it's a squeeze, particularly on a firm tension where you can't sink towards the middle. Couples sharing full time would be better served by the UK king, which is 30cm wider and 10cm longer.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That gives you space to walk around the bed and open drawers rather than shuffling sideways past the frame. If your room is smaller than that, the UK single of this mattress is 30cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.
Does the Harrison Spinks Pure Response Firm come in a UK double?
No. The available sizes are UK single, small double, king and super king. If the small double feels tight but a 135cm double was your target, the UK king is the next step up, at 30cm wider and 10cm longer than the small double, though you'll want a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Is a small double a good size for a teenager?
Often, yes. It's 30cm wider than a UK single but the same 190cm length, so a teenager who has outgrown their single gains real width without the room losing much floor space. The firm tension suits back and front sleepers best, so it's less ideal for a lightweight teen who sleeps mainly on their side.
Will 4ft small double bedding be easy to find?
Yes. The small double is a standard UK size, so 4ft fitted sheets are widely stocked, and the usual approach is to pair them with a standard double duvet. At 24cm deep, this mattress sits within the range most fitted sheets are cut for, so you shouldn't need extra-deep bedding.
