Layer Details
Damask cover
A quality damask fabric with a micro quilted finish that secures the outer fabric to the layers beneath. It gives you a neat sleeping surface that stays in place.
Hypo-allergenic fibre layers
Deep layers of white fibre filling, described as hypo-allergenic. They sandwich the springs, so they may suit you if you're sensitive to bedding fillings.
Small diameter pocket spring interior
Each small diameter coil sits in its own cloth sleeve, between the fibre layers. This is where the firm support comes from.

Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo sleeper can sprawl on the firm surface without an arm hanging over the edge.
- Fits a compact double bedroom: We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double, so it can work in rooms where a wider frame would leave you squeezing past.
- Firm support at a manageable width: You get the same firm pocket spring support as the larger sizes, and the UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, so it uses less floor.
- Easier to flip and rotate: The mattress is double-sided, and a 120cm wide mattress is a little easier for one person to turn than the wider UK double, UK king or UK super king.
- Familiar bedding size: Small double (4ft) fitted sheets fit the mattress, and a standard double duvet covers it, so you won't be hunting for unusual linen.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, like a firm surface on your back or front, and want more width than a single gives you. It also suits you if you're furnishing a guest room or loft conversion where couples stay occasionally but nobody shares nightly.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night with a partner. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.

FAQ's
Is a Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 small double big enough for two people?
For occasional stays, yes, and many guest rooms use a UK small double for exactly that. For a couple sharing every night it feels tight. The UK double is 15cm wider at the same length and gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, so it is the better choice if you sleep together nightly.
What size room do I need for a UK small double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double, which measures 120 x 190cm. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open a door. If your room is smaller, check the door swing and any bedside tables before you buy.
Small double or single for a teenager who has outgrown their bed?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single at the same length, so a growing teenager gets noticeably more space without a longer frame. The trade-off is floor: we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single, against 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double.
Is the Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 small double easy to flip on your own?
It is double-sided, so you can flip and rotate it to spread the wear. At 120cm wide, the UK small double is a little more manageable to turn than the UK double, UK king or UK super king. If lifting is a concern, ask the retailer about handling before ordering.
What sheets and duvet fit a Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 small double?
Small double (4ft) fitted sheets fit the 120 x 190cm mattress, and a standard double duvet covers it. The mattress is 27cm deep, so choose fitted sheets with a pocket deep enough for that depth to stop the corners slipping off.
