Layer Details
- Soft Knitted Cover. A highly breathable knitted cover that's soft to the touch, which means the sleep surface feels more luxurious than the price suggests. Breathability here helps air move away from your body through the night.
- Soft White Fibres. These fillings are made from 100% polyester, chosen for good recovery and durability. In practice that means the comfort layer should spring back into shape rather than developing dips early on.
- Open Coil Springs. Interlaced coils of high-tensile steel joined together in a lattice, giving broad, connected support across the whole mattress. Because the coils are linked, you'll feel a bit more movement transfer than with pocket springs, but also that classic sprung bounce.

- Real stretching room for one: At 120cm wide you get 30cm more than a UK single, which means room to sprawl, read or turn over without a limb hanging off the edge.
- Fits a compact double bedroom: It's 15cm narrower than a UK double, often the difference between a door that opens fully and one that clips the bed frame.
- Same length as a single: Both run 190cm long, so sizing up from a UK single widens the bed without stealing floor space at its foot.
- Occasional couple use covered: The connected open coil surface supports two for guest stays, though the shared motion makes it better for occasional nights than every night.
- Standard 4ft bedding: 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're a solo adult who has outgrown a UK single and wants space to spread out, your bedroom, box room or loft conversion can't take a 4ft 6in frame without losing walking space, or you're furnishing a guest room where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space and it should sit comfortably.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm split between two people is snug and open coils pass movement across the surface. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

How big is the Camellia mattress in a UK small double?
It measures 120 x 190cm, which is 4ft x 6ft 3in. That makes it 30cm wider than the UK single and 15cm narrower than the UK double, with the same 190cm length as both. It's the middle ground for solo sleepers who want more width without a full double footprint.
Is the small double Camellia suitable for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes, which is why it works in a guest room. For nightly sharing it's a squeeze, and the Camellia's open coil springs transfer movement across the mattress, so you'd feel a partner turning over. Regular couples would be better served by the UK double, which gives 67.5cm each.
What room size do I need for a small double Camellia?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves enough space to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. If your room is smaller than that, the UK single may be the more livable choice: it's 30cm narrower and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.
Is a small double a good step up from a single for a teenager?
Often, yes. The Camellia in a UK small double adds 30cm of width over a UK single while keeping the same 190cm length, so a teenager gets a more adult-sized bed without the room losing floor space at the foot. Its medium feel suits most sleeping positions too.
Where can I buy the Camellia in a UK small double?
Compare the retailers listed on this page. The prices shown here are live and updated as retailers change them, so it's worth checking back if you're not buying today. Make sure the listing specifies the UK small double, 120 x 190cm, as the 4ft 6in double is easily confused with it.
