Layer Details
- Real stretching room for one: At 120cm wide, this small double is 30cm wider than a UK single, which means a solo sleeper can turn over without meeting the edge.
- Fits rooms a double cannot: It's 15cm narrower than a UK double, which can be the difference between the door clearing and it scraping in a box room or loft conversion.
- A pillowtop in a compact footprint: The name points to a pillowtop surface over pocket springs, a softer-feeling top layer, though Highgrove doesn't publish the layer details, so check with the retailer.
- Standard 4ft bedding and frames: The UK small double is a standard British size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a regular double duvet works fine on top.
- Sensible for occasional guests: Couples staying a few weekends a year can share it comfortably, making it a practical pick for a guest room or holiday let second bedroom.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want noticeably more width than a single without giving up floor space, perhaps a teenager's room or a studio flat. Or you're furnishing a guest room where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly. It also suits a downsizer whose new bedroom simply won't take a full double.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm is tight for two adults long term. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives you 15cm more width if the room allows it.

Is the Highgrove Pillow Cloud Pocket 3000 small double big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. Couples can share a 120cm-wide mattress for a weekend stay, which is why this size works well in guest rooms. As an everyday bed for two it feels cramped, particularly if either of you moves around at night. Nightly sharers should look at the UK double or UK king versions.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That gives you space to walk around the bed and open drawers rather than just fitting the mattress in. The small double's appeal is exactly this: it goes into box rooms, lofts and studio flats where a UK double would leave nowhere to stand.
How much bigger is the small double than a single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, at 120cm against 90cm. Both are 190cm long. That extra width is what makes it a common upgrade for a teenager or an adult who sleeps alone but wants room to spread out without moving up to a full double.
Will the small double Pillow Cloud Pocket 3000 fit in a loft conversion?
Often, yes, and that's a common reason to choose it. Being 15cm narrower than a UK double, it leaves standing room beside the bed under sloping ceilings where a bigger mattress would touch the wall. Measure your usable floor area first, and allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m if you can.
What bedding fits the small double size?
You'll need small double (4ft) fitted sheets, which are a standard UK size and easy to find. For the top layer, a standard double duvet works well, giving a little overhang on each side. That's handy if a couple shares the bed occasionally, since neither person ends up short of cover.
