- Real stretching room for one: At 120cm across, the UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, so a solo adult can spread out or change position without hanging off the edge.
- Fits rooms a double crowds: It's 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between the door clearing and it not in a box room or studio.
- Pocket springs at solo scale: Each spring responds to pressure independently, which means the mattress contours to one sleeper's shape rather than flexing as a single unit.
- Sensible for a quality guest room: Occasional visiting couples can share a small double for a night or two, so you get Relyon's hand crafted build without giving a spare room over to a bigger frame.
- 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're a solo adult who has outgrown a single and wants room to sprawl, but your bedroom can't spare the width a double demands. Or you're furnishing a guest room or small second bedroom in a rental or holiday let, where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, and you'd rather they slept on something well made than on a budget double squeezed in sideways.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, in which case 120cm gets cramped. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, and the UK king gives 75cm each if your room allows at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is a small double big enough for one adult every night?
Comfortably. The UK small double gives a solo sleeper 120cm of width, 30cm more than a UK single, and at this level of build that extra room is where a pocket spring mattress shows its value, since the springs contour to you wherever you settle rather than only down the middle.
Can a couple share the Relyon Hand Crafted Exquisite in a small double?
For the odd night, yes, which is why it suits guest rooms. As an everyday bed for two it's tight: you'd be sharing 120cm between you, and the independent pocket springs can't add width they don't have. Couples sharing nightly should look at the UK double or UK king pages instead.
What room size do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which is our own guidance rather than Relyon's. That allows walking space around a 120 x 190cm mattress. If your room is smaller than that, measure carefully before ordering; if it's closer to 2.6m x 2.8m, a UK double becomes an option.
How much smaller is a small double than a standard double?
The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length at 190cm. That 15cm sounds minor but often decides whether a bedside table fits, or whether a loft or box room door still opens fully, which is exactly why this size exists.
What bedding fits the small double version of this mattress?
You'll need small double, sometimes labelled 4ft, fitted sheets, as standard double sheets will bag at the corners on a 120cm mattress. A standard double duvet works well on top. Because the small double is a common UK size, both are easy to find from mainstream bedding brands.
