Key benefits
- Real space for one: At 30cm wider than the UK single, this size lets a lone sleeper stretch, roll and change position without meeting the edge.
- Fits compact rooms: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door clearing and a bed you shuffle past sideways.
- Contouring without the bulk: The pressure-relieving memory foam cradles hips and shoulders, useful for a solo side sleeper making full use of the 120cm width.
- Cooler than older foam: The adaptive cooling cover and open-cell foam help heat escape, which matters in the smaller rooms this size usually ends up in.
- Easy to dress: 4ft is a standard UK size, so small double fitted sheets are simple to find, and a standard double duvet drapes nicely over it.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and have outgrown a single but can't spare the floor space a UK double takes, you're furnishing a box room, loft conversion or studio where every centimetre of width counts, or you're setting up a guest room that hosts the occasional couple rather than two people every night. The medium-firm foam feel suits back and combination sleepers in particular.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed most nights, as 120cm is tight for two adults 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 of room for it.

FAQ's
Is a small double Nectar mattress big enough for a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. Two adults can share the 120cm width comfortably enough for a weekend stay, which is why this size suits guest rooms. For every night, most couples find it cramped. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, and that extra margin matters over months rather than a single visit.
What room size do I need for the Nectar small double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves enough space to walk round the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe, which is exactly the constraint in the box rooms and loft conversions this size tends to go into. Measure the room and the door swing before you order, particularly in older properties.
How much wider is the small double than a single Nectar?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are the same length at 190cm. That extra width is the whole point of this size: a teenager or adult who has outgrown a single gains real spreading room without stepping up to a double's footprint.
Does the Nectar feel different in the smaller size?
No, the feel is identical across sizes. You get the same medium-firm memory foam, rated 6.5 out of 10 by Nectar, and the same 7-zone support base. What changes is space: on a small double a solo sleeper can use the contouring across the full 120cm width, moving freely without rolling towards an edge.
