- Real room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, this size lets a solo sleeper roll and sprawl freely under the cushioned pillowtop surface.
- Fits rooms a double crowds: It is 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears the bed and one that catches it.
- Pillowtop softness at 4ft: The sewn-on pillowtop gives a plusher surface without a separate topper, so a smaller room still gets a genuinely indulgent bed.
- Pocket springs for occasional sharing: Springs move independently, which means a visiting partner shifting in the night disturbs you less than a single spring unit would.
- Standard UK sizing: The 4ft small double is a stocked UK size, so frames and fitted sheets are easy to find, paired with a standard double duvet.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone most nights and have outgrown a single, but your room can't give up the floor space a double demands. Or you're furnishing a guest room or loft conversion where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, and you want them to have a properly comfortable, hand-finished mattress rather than a spare-room afterthought.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm across two adults feels tight over time. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm wider and needs a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is a small double big enough for the Hypnos Supreme Elite Pillowtop to suit a couple?
For occasional nights, yes: the pocket springs limit disturbance when one person moves, so visiting couples will sleep comfortably. As an everyday bed for two, 120cm of width is a squeeze, and we'd point full-time couples to the UK double, which is 15cm wider.
What room size do I need for the Hypnos Supreme Elite Pillowtop small double?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That's our own guidance rather than a Hypnos figure, and it allows enough clearance to walk around the bed and open drawers. In a box room or studio, measure the door swing too, as that's often what decides it.
How much wider is the small double than a single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are the same length at 190cm. That extra width is what turns a bed you fit into a bed you can spread out in, especially with the pillowtop's cushioned surface encouraging you to sprawl.
What bedding fits the small double size?
You'll need small double (4ft) fitted sheets, which are a standard stocked UK size, paired with a regular double duvet. One caution: pillowtop mattresses tend to sit deeper than average, and Hypnos doesn't publish a depth for this model, so check with the retailer before buying deep-pocket sheets.
Is the small double a sensible size for a guest room?
It's a strong fit. Occasional couples can share it, a solo guest gets luxurious space, and it leaves more floor room than a double in a compact second bedroom. The Hypnos is a premium spend for a guest bed, though it makes visitors' stays genuinely comfortable.
