- Real space for one: At 120cm wide, the UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single, which means a solo adult can actually spread out rather than sleep to attention.
- Fits rooms a double cannot: 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 box room or studio.
- Boxed delivery suits awkward access: The Regina arrives rolled and compressed, so it can be carried up tight staircases and through loft hatches where a rigid 4ft mattress would struggle.
- Sensible for guest rooms: Couples staying a few weekends a year can share a small double comfortably enough, making it a practical pick for a second bedroom or holiday let.
- Easy bedding and frames: The 4ft small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and bed frames are simple to find, and a standard double duvet sits well on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a single but your room can't spare the width of a full double, you're furnishing a guest room that hosts couples occasionally rather than nightly, or you're fitting out a loft conversion or rental where 120cm is the largest bed that still leaves space to stand.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm across two adults is a squeeze that grates over time. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which adds 15cm of width if your room allows it.

Is the Highgrove Regina small double big enough for a couple every night?
For occasional stays, yes: two adults can share a 120cm mattress for a weekend without complaint. As an everyday bed for a couple it is tight, and most pairs sleep better on a UK double or wider. If you share nightly and the room allows, we'd size up.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves room to open the door, walk around the bed and fit a bedside table. In a loft conversion, also check where the ceiling slopes, since usable floor space matters more than the measurement on the plan.
Will the Highgrove Regina in a small double fit through a narrow doorway?
This should be one of its easier jobs. The Regina arrives rolled and compressed in a box, so it passes through tight hallways, up narrow stairs and into box rooms far more easily than a flat 4ft mattress. Allow it time to expand fully once unrolled.
Is a small double a good upgrade from a single for a teenager?
Often, yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single, which gives a growing teenager genuine stretching room, while staying 15cm narrower than a UK double. In a bedroom that can't lose much floor space, that 15cm can preserve room for a desk or wardrobe.
What bedding does the Highgrove Regina small double take?
Use small double (4ft) fitted sheets, which are widely stocked as a standard UK size. A standard double duvet works well on top, giving a comfortable overhang on each side. Avoid double fitted sheets, as the extra 15cm of fabric will bunch and pull loose overnight.
