Layer Details
- Real room for one: The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a lone sleeper can stretch out without moving up to a full double.
- Fits compact bedrooms: At 15cm narrower than the UK double, it suits box rooms, studio flats and loft conversions where every centimetre of floor matters.
- Firm support across the width: Pocket springs respond to your body independently, so the firm feel stays consistent whether you sleep in the middle or drift to the edge.
- Practical for a guest room: Occasional couples can share it comfortably for a weekend, which makes it a sensible choice for a spare room used a few times a year.
- Standard 4ft bedding: The small double is an established UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find on the high street.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, prefer a firm mattress, and want more width than a UK single without giving your room over to a full double. Or you're furnishing a spare room where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly. It also suits a downsized bedroom or loft conversion where a 135cm frame would leave no walking space beside the bed.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, as 120cm is a squeeze for two firm-mattress sleepers long term. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

What size is the Hypnos Wool Origins 8 Firm small double?
The UK small double is 120 x 190cm, which is 4ft x 6ft 3in. That's 30cm wider than the UK single and the same length, so it takes up little extra room lengthways while giving you noticeably more space across the bed.
Will the Hypnos Wool Origins 8 small double fit my bedroom?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to open the door, walk around the bed and reach a wardrobe. In a loft conversion or box room, measure carefully first: the small double often fits where a UK double would block movement entirely.
Can a couple sleep on the Hypnos Wool Origins 8 in a small double?
For occasional nights, yes. The pocket springs move independently, so you feel less of a partner's tossing and turning. At 120cm wide, though, it's a snug fit for two adults every night, and the firm feel gives little give to sink into. Nightly couples would be happier on the UK double.
Is a small double big enough for a teenager?
Usually, yes. It's a common step up from a single for a teenager who has outgrown one, adding 30cm of width without the footprint of a full double. The firm pocket sprung feel suits growing back and front sleepers, although lightweight side sleepers may find it a little unyielding.
