Layer Details
- Cover. A stretch-knit, soft-touch cover with a 100% Egyptian cotton white border. The stretch in the knit means the surface flexes with the fillings beneath rather than creating a drum-tight feel.
- Comfort Layer. Deep layers of polyester comfort fillings, described as Soft White Fibres. These give the mattress its cushioned initial feel before you reach the springs.
- Support System. 1000 individual pocket springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket. Because every spring compresses independently, heavier areas like hips sink slightly more while lighter areas stay supported.

- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, a solo sleeper gets genuine stretching space without committing to a full double's footprint.
- Fits compact double bedrooms: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears the bed frame and one that doesn't.
- Pocket springs across the full width: The 1000 individual pocket springs compress independently, so even near the edges of this 120cm surface your hips sink slightly while lighter areas stay supported.
- Sensible for guest rooms: Couples staying the odd weekend will manage comfortably, and the medium firm feel suits most sleeping positions, which matters when you can't predict who's visiting.
- Standard 4ft bedding: The small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a regular double duvet drapes generously over it.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a single but your room can't take a full double, you're furnishing a box room, loft conversion or studio where every centimetre of floor matters, or you need a guest room bed that copes with the occasional visiting couple without dominating the space.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night and want it to be comfortable long term. The UK small double is tight for two full-time, so we'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

How big is the Classic Gold 1000 in a small double?
The UK small double measures 120 x 190cm, which is 4ft x 6ft 3in. That's the same length as a UK single but 30cm wider, so a taller solo sleeper gets the extra width without needing a longer room. We suggest allowing a bedroom of at least 2.4m x 2.8m around it.
Is a small double Classic Gold 1000 big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. The pocket spring build helps here, because each of the 1000 springs moves independently and one person turning over disturbs the other less. For every night sharing, though, the UK small double feels cramped, and the UK double, 15cm wider, is the better long-term choice.
Will the small double fit in a box room or loft conversion?
That's exactly where this size earns consideration. At 120cm wide it's 15cm narrower than a UK double, which often decides whether you keep a walkway beside the bed or whether the door still opens fully. Measure your usable floor space and allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m before ordering.
Is this a good size upgrade for a teenager?
Often, yes. A teenager who has outgrown a UK single gains 30cm of width while the bed stays the same length, so the room loses less floor space than a full double would take. The medium firm feel suits most sleeping positions, useful for a growing sleeper whose habits are still settling.
What bedding do I need for this size?
You'll need small double, or 4ft, fitted sheets, which are a standard UK size and easy to find. For the duvet, a regular double works well and gives a generous overhang on each side. The stretch-knit cover with its Egyptian cotton border sits flat under fitted sheets rather than bunching.
