- Stretching room for one: At 120cm wide, the UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo sleeper can shift position freely without meeting the edge.
- A pillowtop where a double won't fit: The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, so you can still have this cushioned pocket-sprung feel in a box room or studio.
- Same length as a double: Both the UK small double and the UK double run 190cm long, so choosing the narrower size costs you nothing in legroom.
- Springs that suit occasional sharing: Pocket springs move independently, which means a visiting couple sharing this narrower width will feel less of each other's movement than on an open-coil bed.
- Standard 4ft bedding and frames: The small double is an established UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a standard 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 compact guest room or holiday let where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, or you're downsizing and the bed has to fit the new bedroom rather than the old one.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night and want proper space each, or your room comfortably takes a wider frame. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each for two sharing; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is a small double Millbrook Allure Pillowtop big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. The pocket springs help here, since each person's movement is absorbed rather than passed across the bed. For every-night sharing it's snug, and the pillowtop's plush surface won't make up for the width. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, which we'd suggest as the minimum for regular couples.
What room size do I need for the Millbrook Allure in a UK small double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers, which matters in the box rooms and loft conversions this size is usually bought for. The mattress itself is 120 x 190cm, so measure your usable floor space, sloping ceilings included, before ordering.
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. That extra width is the whole point for a solo sleeper: enough space to sprawl on the pillowtop surface, without the footprint jump of a full double. It suits a teenager who has outgrown a single but whose room can't lose the floor space.
Does the small double lose length compared with bigger sizes?
Compared with the UK double, no: both are 190cm long. Compared with the UK king, yes, slightly: the UK small double is 10cm shorter as well as 30cm narrower. If you're tall and sleep stretched out, that length difference is one reason to consider sizing up, provided your room meets our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king.
Can I compare prices on this size?
Only one retailer currently sells the UK small double, so there's little scope to shop around. The prices shown on this page are updated as retailers change them, so it's still worth checking back before you buy, particularly around sale periods when Millbrook stockists often adjust pricing.
