Layer Details
Responsive-Gel layer
A breathable, instantly responsive layer with gel beads for temperature control, designed to draw excess body heat away from the surface. It eases pressure while helping you stay cooler, which is useful if you tend to sleep warm.
Pocket springs
Individual springs, each in its own cloth sleeve, that move independently and contour to your body shape. You get support that follows your shape, and less disturbance when a partner moves. A high density foam encapsulated border around them gives edge-to-edge support.

Key benefits
- Real stretching room for one: At 120cm wide, this small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo sleeper can roll and sprawl without meeting the edge.
- Fits compact double bedrooms: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears the bed and one that doesn't.
- Independent support at this width: Pocket springs respond to your body individually, so even on a narrower mattress the support follows you as you move across it.
- Gel layers for warm sleepers: The gel in the comfort layers is typically there to manage temperature, useful in smaller rooms where air doesn't circulate as freely.
- Standard 4ft bedding and frames: The small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a normal double duvet works fine on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a single but your room can't take a full double, or you're furnishing a box room, loft conversion or guest bedroom where every centimetre of width matters. It also fits if a couple will use the bed occasionally rather than nightly, in a second bedroom or holiday let.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, since 120cm gets snug for two over time. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm wider; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of room for it.

FAQ's
Is a small double Kaymed Signature Response Gel Pocket 1600 big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. The pocket springs move independently, so one person turning over disturbs the other less than a traditional sprung unit would. For nightly sharing, though, 120cm of width is a squeeze for two adults, and the UK double at 135cm wide is the more comfortable long-term choice.
What room size do I need for the small double Kaymed Signature Response Gel Pocket 1600?
We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves enough space to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. The mattress itself is 120 x 190cm, so measure your usable floor space rather than the room's headline dimensions, especially in lofts with sloping ceilings.
How does the small double compare with the single in this mattress?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are the same length at 190cm. For a teenager or adult who has outgrown a single, that extra width is significant, and because the small double is 15cm narrower than a UK double, it often fits where a double can't.
Will normal double bedding fit a UK small double?
You'll need small double (4ft) fitted sheets, as standard double sheets are cut for a 135cm width and will sit loose. A standard double duvet works well on top, with a little extra overhang on each side. Both are widely available, since 4ft is a standard UK size.
Is this Kaymed a good choice for a guest room in a small double?
It suits a guest room that hosts occasional couples but nobody nightly, since two people can share a small double comfortably for short stays. Bear in mind this is a premium mattress, so it's a considered spend for a room used a few weeks a year. Compare the retailers listed on this page before deciding.
