- Pocket Springs. A unit of 1,000 individually pocketed springs sits at the heart of the mattress. Because each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket, it compresses independently, which means the mattress contours to your body and cuts down on partner disturbance.

- Proper room for one: The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means you can turn, stretch or sleep diagonally without an arm hanging off the side.
- Keeps the floor usable: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can be the margin that lets a wardrobe or bedroom door swing open without catching the bed.
- Calmer for the odd shared night: The 1,000 individually pocketed springs move on their own, which means a visiting partner turning over should disturb you a little less on this narrower surface.
- Workable under a sloping ceiling: In a loft conversion, the 120cm width leaves slightly more floor where you can stand upright beside the bed than a wider frame would.
- Simple to kit out: At 4ft wide, the UK small double is a standard British size, so you shouldn't struggle to find a frame and fitted sheets to match.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and keep waking up at the edge of a single, or you're fitting a double bed into a box room or loft conversion and a partner only stays over now and then.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, as the UK small double gets tight for two adults. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Will a Relyon Sampford Natural 1000 UK small double fit in a box room?
At 120 x 190cm, it often will. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which leaves space to walk round the bed and open drawers. Measure where your door swings before ordering, as width is usually what decides whether it clears.
Is the Sampford Natural 1000 small double comfortable for a couple staying over?
For the occasional weekend, yes. The pocket springs limit how much one person's movement reaches the other, but the width is snug for two adults. If you share every night, the UK double gives 67.5cm each and will feel noticeably less cramped.
Is a UK small double Sampford Natural 1000 a good step up from a single for a teenager?
It's a sensible move. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single but the same length, so it takes a little more width without reaching further into the room. Relyon doesn't publish a firmness rating, so check how it feels for a lighter sleeper before buying.
Can a Relyon Sampford Natural 1000 small double go in a loft conversion?
Often, yes, because the 120cm width leaves more standing room beside the bed under a sloping ceiling. Our suggested minimum room size is 2.4m x 2.8m, but in a loft conversion measure the floor area where you can stand upright, not the full footprint.
What size is the Relyon Sampford Natural 1000 small double in feet?
It measures 4ft x 6ft 3in, or 120 x 190cm. That's the standard UK small double, so bed frames and small double fitted sheets from most British shops should fit it.
