- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep diagonally or starfish without an arm dropping off the edge.
- Friendlier to small rooms: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can leave just enough clearance for a door to swing open or a wardrobe to be reached comfortably.
- No length lost against a double: The UK small double is the same length as the UK double, so moving down a width costs you nothing at the foot end.
- Sensible for a spare room: Visiting couples get a proper firm bed for a night or two, and the room still works as a study for the rest of the year.
- Easier in a loft conversion: Under a sloping ceiling, the narrower footprint can give you more standing room on the side where you get in and out.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone but a single now feels cramped, your bedroom is compact and can't spare the floor space of a full double, or you're furnishing a guest room where a couple stays now and then but nobody sleeps every night.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.

What size room do I need for a UK small double Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves space to walk round the bed and open drawers. In a box room or studio, measure where the door swings before you order, because 120cm of width is what decides whether it still clears.
Is the Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm small double big enough for a couple?
For the occasional stay, yes. A guest couple will manage perfectly well for a night or two. For every night, most couples find the UK small double a little tight, and the UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing if your room allows at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm small double or double: which should I choose?
Choose the UK small double if you sleep alone or your room is under 2.6m x 2.8m. Choose the UK double if you share nightly. The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, but both sizes are the same length, so you give up width only.
Is a UK small double long enough if I'm tall?
The UK small double is 190cm long, the same as the UK double. If your feet already reach the end of a standard bed, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it needs a bigger room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is a firm small double a good upgrade for a teenager outgrowing a single?
It can be, if the bedroom can take it. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single with no change in length, so a growing teenager gains width. We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m, against 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single.
