Layer Details
Cover
A wool-blend cover woven in-house, fire-retardant without chemical treatments. That matters if you're sensitive to sprays or simply prefer fewer chemicals near your skin.
Fillings
Responsibly sourced, fully traceable British wool, hemp and flax grown on the Harrison Spinks farm, alongside soft cotton. Natural fibres like these breathe well, which means less overnight heat build-up than foam.
Micro springs
A layer of 2,500 high-density micro springs sits near the surface for pressure relief and cushioning. You feel this as a gentler, more contouring top layer before the main support kicks in.
Pocket springs
The award-winning Advanced Cortec pocket spring system uses a spring-within-a-spring design for dynamic support. In practice, the mattress responds gently to light pressure and more firmly as you sink deeper.

- Real space for one: At 30cm wider than a UK single, this size gives a solo sleeper genuine room to stretch, turn and starfish without a bigger footprint than necessary.
- Luxury in a compact room: It is 15cm narrower than a UK double, so a box room, loft conversion or studio can hold a premium mattress without the bed dominating everything.
- Natural fillings, no foam: Wool, hemp, flax and cotton over two spring layers breathe well, which means less overnight heat build-up, useful when a small room warms up quickly.
- Responsive support at any width: The Advanced Cortec spring-within-a-spring design firms up progressively as you press into it, so support adjusts to you rather than feeling like one fixed tension.
- A proper depth: At 29cm deep this is a substantial mattress, so check your small double frame and fitted sheets are made for deeper builds.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone but have outgrown a single and want proper stretching room, or your bedroom is compact enough that a standard double would crowd it. It also suits a well-appointed guest room where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, and you want them comfortable on natural fillings rather than a budget spare.
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: it is 15cm wider, the same length, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Is the Pure Splendour small double big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. Two adults can share 120cm of width for a weekend stay, which makes this size a sensible pick for a guest room. For every night, most couples find it tight. If you share regularly, the UK double gives you 15cm more width at the same length.
Can I get the small double Pure Splendour in dual tension?
No. Harrison Spinks offers dual tension, a different feel on each side, only in the UK king and UK super king. The small double comes in a single tension across the whole surface, in medium or firm. Since this size is mostly a solo sleeper's mattress, that is rarely a drawback in practice.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That allows you to open the door fully, walk around the bed and fit basic furniture without squeezing past. If your room falls short of that, the UK single is 30cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.
Is the small double worth it over a single for one person?
If the room allows, usually yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and exactly the same length, so you gain generous turning and stretching space without needing a longer frame. For a restless sleeper, or anyone who has felt hemmed in on a 90cm mattress, the extra width is the difference you notice.
Where can I buy the Pure Splendour in a UK small double?
Stock varies by size, and the small double is less widely listed than the UK double or UK king. The simplest approach is to compare the retailers shown on this page; the prices here are updated as retailers change them, so you are always seeing current availability rather than a snapshot.
