Key benefits
- Real space for one: At 120cm across, the UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single, which means a solo adult can stretch out without moving up a room size.
- Fits where a double won't: It's 15cm narrower than a UK double, often the difference between a door that clears the bed frame and one that doesn't in a box room or loft conversion.
- Contract build suits lets: This is a contract mattress, the type specified for guest houses and rentals, so the UK small double is a sensible fit for a holiday let's second bedroom.
- Standard bedding sizes: The 4ft small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a standard double duvet works fine on top.
- Copes with occasional sharing: Two guests can share it for a weekend visit comfortably enough, although a couple sleeping on it every night would find it a squeeze.
This size suits you if...
You're a solo adult, or a teenager who has outgrown a single, and you want more sleeping width without giving up walking space around the bed. It also fits if you're furnishing a rental, holiday let or guest room where couples stay a few weekends a year rather than nightly, or your bedroom simply can't take a 4ft 6in frame. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, in which case 120cm of width will feel tight over time. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives you an extra 15cm across the mattress.

FAQ's
How big is the Highgrove Oxford Crib 5 in a UK small double?
The UK small double measures 120 x 190cm, which is 4ft x 6ft 3in. That's the same length as a UK single and UK double, with a width that sits between the two: 30cm wider than a UK single and 15cm narrower than a UK double.
Will the UK small double fit in a box room or loft conversion?
Often, yes, and that's a large part of its appeal. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m so you can still open the door and walk around the bed. In a loft with sloping ceilings, check where the usable standing space falls before committing to the frame position.
Is the small double Highgrove Oxford a good choice for a holiday let?
It's a reasonable match. This is a contract mattress, the kind typically specified for guest houses and rentals, and the UK small double is often the largest sensible bed for a compact second bedroom. Couples staying a few nights can share it, and a solo guest gets plenty of room.
Should I get the Highgrove Oxford in a small double or a double?
Go by your room and how the bed is used. The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, which frees up walking space in a tight bedroom. If a couple will sleep on it most nights, that 15cm matters and the UK double is the better buy.
Can I compare prices on the UK small double?
Not meaningfully at the moment. We list the retailer pricing on this page and keep it updated as it changes, but there's currently little scope to shop around on this mattress. Check the live table here before you buy, and read the retailer's full specification, as Highgrove publishes limited construction detail.
