Layer Details
- Crib 5 compliance in a compact footprint: The 120 x 190cm size lets landlords put a fire-compliant double sleeping surface into a second bedroom that a full double frame would crowd.
- Real space for one sleeper: At 30cm wider than the UK single, a solo tenant or regular guest gets genuine room to spread out.
- Fits where a double will not: The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears and one that doesn't.
- Handles occasional couples: Two guests can share for a weekend stay, so a holiday let's smaller bedroom still counts as a double room in your listing.
- Standard 4ft sizing: Small double frames, fitted sheets and protectors are widely stocked in the UK, so replacing linens across a rental portfolio stays simple.
This size suits you if...
You manage a rental, holiday let or HMO and need Crib 5 compliant bedding for a small second bedroom, you're furnishing a box room or loft conversion where the UK double's extra 15cm of width would block the door or the wardrobe, or you're kitting out a guest room that hosts one person most of the time and a couple occasionally.
Consider another size if...
Two people will sleep on it every night, in which case the squeeze will tell over time. If the room takes it, we'd recommend the UK double of this same mattress instead, which is 15cm wider at the same length.

Is a UK small double big enough for a rental property bedroom?
For a single occupant or occasional couples, yes. The 120 x 190cm surface gives one person plenty of room and lets two share for short stays, which is why the UK small double is a common pick for holiday lets and HMO second bedrooms. For a room let to a couple full time, size up if the space allows.
What room size do I need for the Highgrove Canterbury in a UK small double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves enough clearance to walk round the bed and open drawers, which matters in the box rooms and loft conversions this size is usually bought for. That's our own guidance rather than the manufacturer's, so measure your room before ordering.
How much smaller is the UK small double than a UK king?
The UK small double is 30cm narrower than the UK king and 10cm shorter. That's a substantial difference, so this size is really about fitting a double sleeping surface into a compact room rather than maximising space for a couple. The full chart runs from a UK single at 90 x 190cm to a UK super king at 180 x 200cm.
Where can I buy the Canterbury Crib 5 in a small double?
Availability for this size is limited, so compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them. Because stock is thin, it's sensible to confirm the full specification and lead time with the retailer directly before ordering, particularly if you're buying several for a property.
Does the small double use the same imperial size as a standard double?
No. The UK small double is 4ft x 6ft 3in, while the standard UK double is 4ft 6in wide at the same length. Check which one your frame takes before ordering: a 4ft mattress on a 4ft 6in base will leave a visible gap along one side.
