Key benefits
- Room for one without a double's footprint: At 120cm wide it's 30cm wider than a UK single, so a solo adult can stretch out where a full double simply wouldn't fit.
- Fits compact bedrooms: It's 15cm narrower than a UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears and one that doesn't in a studio or box room.
- Rolled delivery suits awkward rooms: It arrives compressed in a box, which means it can be carried up narrow stairs into a loft conversion before it expands.
- Standard 4ft bedding and frames: The small double is an established UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a standard double duvet works fine on top.
- Practical for occasional couple use: Two people can share it for the odd weekend, making it a sensible pick for a guest room that hosts couples a few times a year.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone but have outgrown a UK single and want space to spread out, your room is too tight for a 135cm double and the width decides whether furniture still fits, or you're furnishing a guest room or holiday let second bedroom where couples stay occasionally rather than every night. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space, our suggestion rather than the brand's.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm is a squeeze for two adults long term. We'd recommend the UK double instead, or the UK king if your room can take a 150cm width.

FAQ's
Is the Highgrove Dawson small double big enough for one adult?
Yes, comfortably. At 120 x 190cm it gives a solo sleeper 30cm more width than a UK single, which you'll feel as room to roll over and spread out rather than sleeping in one fixed position. The 190cm length matches a standard single and double, so it suits most adults.
Will the Highgrove Dawson small double fit in a box room?
This is exactly where the size makes sense. We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space, which many box rooms and studio flats can manage where a 135cm double would leave no walkway. Because the Dawson arrives rolled in a box, getting it through narrow doorways and up tight stairs is also simpler.
What's the difference between the small double and double Highgrove Dawson?
The width. The UK small double is 120cm across, 15cm narrower than the UK double, and both are 190cm long. The mattress itself is the same design, so the choice comes down to your room. If two of you sleep in it nightly, the UK double is the better buy where space allows.
Can a couple sleep on the Highgrove Dawson in a UK small double?
For occasional nights, yes. It's a common guest room choice for that reason: couples staying a few weekends a year will manage fine. As an everyday bed for two it's a little narrow at 120cm, and most couples sharing nightly would be happier on the UK double or UK king.
What bedding do I need for the small double Dawson?
Small double, or 4ft, fitted sheets, which are stocked by most UK bedding retailers since it's a standard size. For the duvet, a standard double works well and gives a generous overhang on each side. Highgrove doesn't publish the mattress depth, so check with the retailer before buying deep fitted sheets.
