Layer Details
- Genuine space for one: At 120cm across, the UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo adult can actually roll over without meeting the edge.
- Fits where a double won't: It's 15cm narrower than a UK double, often the difference between a door that opens fully and one that clips the bed frame.
- A sensible pick for lets: For a small second bedroom in a rental or holiday let, this is usually the largest bed you can fit without making the room feel cramped.
- Handles occasional guests: Two adults can share it for a weekend visit comfortably enough, even if it would feel snug as an every-night arrangement.
- Standard 4ft bedding: Small double frames and fitted sheets are easy to find in the UK, so kitting out this size costs no more effort than a standard double.
This size suits you if...
You're a solo adult who has outgrown a single and wants room to spread out, you're furnishing a box room, loft conversion or compact let where a 135cm double would leave no floor space, or you need a guest bed that couples can share a few weekends a year without anyone sleeping on it nightly.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, or your room comfortably takes a wider frame. A couple sleeping together full time will find 120cm restrictive, so we'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives you 15cm more width.

Will the Highgrove Brighton small double fit in a box room?
Usually, yes, and that's largely the point of this size. The mattress is 120 x 190cm, and we suggest allowing a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m so you can still open drawers and walk around the bed. Measure the room and check where the door swings before you order.
Is the Highgrove Brighton Crib 5 small double a good choice for a rental or holiday let?
It suits that use well. The Brighton is a contract-specification mattress, the type commonly bought for rental and guest accommodation, and the small double is often the largest bed a compact second bedroom can sensibly take. Guests get a shareable bed, and the room keeps enough floor space to feel usable.
Can two adults sleep on the small double Highgrove Brighton?
For occasional stays, yes. At 120cm wide it gives a couple less room than they'd have at home, but for a few weekends a year it does the job. If two people will sleep on it every night, the UK double or UK king of this mattress would be a better long-term choice.
How does the small double compare with the other Highgrove Brighton sizes?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, 15cm narrower than the UK double and 30cm narrower than the UK king. Construction and feel don't change with size, so the decision comes down to who's sleeping on it and how much floor space the room can spare.
