Layer Details
- Cover. A Coolmax® stretch fabric cover with micro quilting, which means it helps regulate body temperature for cooler sleep while adding a softer feel to the surface. It takes the edge off the firm build underneath.
- Memory foam. A generous layer of body-cushioning memory foam. This is the layer you'll feel first, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Pocket springs. A spring unit with 1000 pocket springs in the king size, designed to offer superb support and help with postural alignment. Because each spring moves independently, you should feel less disturbance from a restless partner.

- Real space for one: The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo adult can sprawl without the bed dominating a modest room.
- Slots into compact rooms: At 15cm narrower than a UK double, it can be the difference between a door that clears the bed and one that doesn't.
- Firm support across the full width: The firm hybrid build keeps its feel to the edges, so the extra width is all usable sleeping surface rather than a soft border.
- Cooler surface for a snug room: Smaller bedrooms can run warm, and the Coolmax® cover is designed to regulate temperature, which helps in a box room with limited airflow.
- Standard 4ft sizing: The small double is a standard UK size, so frames and fitted sheets are easy to find, and it pairs with a normal double duvet.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want more width than a UK single without giving your room over to the bed, your bedroom sits around our suggested 2.4m x 2.8m minimum, or you're kitting out a guest room where couples stay occasionally rather than every night. The firm feel suits you if you sleep on your back or front and like a solid, supportive surface.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, in which case a firm mattress with limited width per person will feel cramped. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm wider; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Is the small double Highgrove Dream Memory big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. At 120cm wide it works for guests or the odd shared stay, and the pocket springs move independently, so a restless partner disturbs you less. For nightly sharing it's tight, and the firm surface gives you little incentive to squeeze together. Couples sleeping on it every night should look at the UK double, which is 15cm wider.
What room size do I need for the small double Highgrove Dream Memory?
We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves enough space to walk round the bed and open drawers without shuffling sideways. If your room is smaller than that, the UK single would suit you better: it's 30cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.
Is a small double firm mattress a good choice for a teenager?
Often, yes. It's a sensible step up for a teenager who has outgrown a UK single but whose room can't lose much floor space, since the small double adds 30cm of width at the same length. The firm feel suits back and front sleepers; a lightweight side sleeper may find it a little solid at the shoulder.
Will the Highgrove Dream Memory small double fit in a loft or box room?
This is the size most likely to. At 120 x 190cm it fits rooms where sloping ceilings or a tight doorway rule out a standard double, provided you can allow around 2.4m x 2.8m. In a loft conversion, check you have standing room beside the bed before committing, as the 15cm saved over a UK double is often exactly what you need.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Dream Memory in a small double?
Availability shifts, so the most reliable answer is the live table on this page, which is updated as retailers change their listings and prices. It's worth comparing against the other sizes too: the small double sits between the UK single and UK double on price, and stock can vary size by size.
