Layer Details
- Cover. A quilted cover enriched with aloe vera and antimicrobial properties, which means a fresher, softer sleep surface. It's a small touch, but a pleasant one for allergy-prone sleepers.
- Comfort Fillings. Eco Comfort Fibres, breathable sustainable fibres that are 100% recyclable, sit alongside a natural silk layer known for its softness and lightweight feel. Together they give the surface its gentle, airy cushioning.
- Support System. 2000 individually pocketed springs work independently, which means tailored support where your body presses hardest, typically hips and shoulders. This also helps limit motion transfer between partners.
- Base. A sturdy, non-slip base keeps the mattress stable on your bed frame. Nothing fancy, but it does its job.

- Room to sprawl on your own: At 120cm wide, the UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single, which means you can sleep diagonally or starfish without an arm hanging off the edge.
- Fits rooms a double would crowd: Being 15cm narrower than a UK double, the UK small double can leave enough clearance for a door to swing open or a wardrobe to be used properly.
- Firm support for a growing frame: The 2000 independent springs push back where you press hardest, so a teenager or adult who has outgrown a single gets steady support at the hips and shoulders.
- Copes with the odd shared night: Pocketed springs move separately, so when a couple uses the guest room for a weekend, one person turning over is less likely to jolt the other.
- A slightly lighter bed to manoeuvre: A narrower mattress is a little easier to carry up a tight staircase into a loft conversion, where a wider bed can be awkward to turn on the landing.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want more width than a single without giving up the floor, your bedroom is small but you still want a proper 4ft bed, or you are kitting out a guest room where couples stay for a night or two rather than every night.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night and want room to yourselves. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Is the Minerva 2000 small double a good upgrade for a teenager?
For many, yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single but the same length, so it adds sideways room without eating much extra floor. The firmer feel owners describe suits a growing frame that needs steady support, although a teenager who likes a soft, sink-in bed may find it a little firm.
Will a Rest Assured Minerva 2000 small double fit in a box room?
It often will. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double, which leaves space to walk round the bed and open a door. Measure the swing of your door and any wardrobe before you buy, because in a box room those few centimetres decide whether it works.
Minerva 2000 small double or double: which should I choose?
If you sleep alone, the UK small double gives plenty of room and fits a smaller space. If two of you share nightly, the UK double is 15cm wider, gives 67.5cm each and is the same length. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Can a couple share a 4ft Minerva 2000 for a weekend?
For the occasional stay, yes. The pocket springs work independently, so movement from one sleeper travels less across the mattress, which helps in a guest room. For every night, though, most couples will feel cramped on a UK small double and would be better on the UK double or larger.
Is the Minerva 2000 small double long enough if I'm tall?
The UK small double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. That suits most adults, but if you are tall or like your feet clear of the end, the UK king is 10cm longer. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, so check your room first.
