Key benefits
- Real room for one: At 120cm across, the UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, so a solo sleeper can stretch out or change position freely.
- Fits rooms a double won't: 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.
- Firmer feel, smaller footprint: The ortho-style build with premium natural fillings usually appeals to back sleepers who like solid support, and here it comes in a compact size.
- Springs that work in a guest room: With 1,000 pocket springs moving independently, an occasional couple sharing for a weekend won't disturb each other as much as on an open coil design.
- Easy bedding and frames: The 4ft small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and bed frames are straightforward to find on the high street.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a UK single but your room can't take a full double, you're furnishing a guest room or holiday let where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, or you're downsizing and the bed has to fit the new room. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space so you can still move around it comfortably.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, because 120cm is a squeeze for two long term. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Is the Millbrook Luxury 1000 Ortho small double big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. Across a 120cm width, two adults can share for a weekend stay, and the 1,000 pocket springs limit how much one person's movement disturbs the other. For every night, though, it's tight, and the firmer ortho feel gives you less give when you're pressed together. Couples sharing nightly should look at the UK double or UK king.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. That leaves enough space to open the door, walk down one side of the bed and fit a wardrobe or chest of drawers. If your room is smaller than that, the UK single may be the more livable choice, and we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for it.
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 at 190cm. In practice that extra width means a solo sleeper can roll over or sleep diagonally without an arm hanging off the edge, which matters on a firmer mattress like this one where you sleep more on the surface than in it.
Will a small double fit in a box room or studio flat?
Often, yes, and that's the main reason to choose it over a double. At 120cm wide it's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which frees up walking space and can keep a door or wardrobe usable in a tight layout. Measure first and check against our suggested minimum of 2.4m x 2.8m before committing.
Is the small double a good guest room size for this mattress?
It's a sensible fit. Solo guests get generous space, occasional couples can manage for a few nights, and the firmer ortho support tends to divide people less over a short stay than it might night after night. One caution: Millbrook doesn't publish a firmness rating, so the prices shown on this page and the retailer's own trial are your safety net.
