Romantica Bamboo Memory Small Double Mattress
The Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress pairs a 1.5cm layer of memory foam with traditional open coil springs, which means you get a little body-cradling softness over a firmer, familiar spring feel rather than the deep sink of an all-foam bed.
- Gentle cradling at shoulders & hips
- Bouncy, traditional sprung feel
- Double-sided, flip it to last longer

Layer Details
Memory Foam
A 1.5cm layer of memory foam sits at the surface, which means gentle cradling around your shoulders and hips rather than a deep hug. It takes the edge off the springs below without the sunken feeling thicker foam layers can create.
Traditional Open Coil Springs
Interlaced springs joined in a lattice design provide the support core. This gives the mattress a connected, slightly bouncy feel, though it also means movement can transfer across the bed more than with pocket springs.

Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep diagonally or stretch an arm out without it dangling over the edge.
- Fits a room a double would crowd: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can be the difference between a bedroom door that swings open freely and one that catches on the frame.
- Same length as a double: The 190cm length matches the UK double, so taller solo sleepers give up width rather than legroom by choosing the UK small double.
- Sensible for occasional couples: Two people can share for a weekend visit, although the open coil core passes movement across, so light sleepers will notice a partner turning over.
- Easier to manage when flipping: The mattress is double-sided with handles, and the narrower UK small double is simpler to turn in a tight room than a wider size.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want more space than a single allows, or you're furnishing a guest room where couples stay only occasionally. It also fits a loft conversion with a sloping ceiling, where there's too little standing room either side of a full double.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, as the UK small double is snug for two. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
What size room do I need for a Romantica small double mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. That leaves space to walk round the bed and open a wardrobe, and it's also enough room to lift and flip this double-sided mattress using its handles.
Is the Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress UK small double good for a teenager?
It's a sensible step up for a teenager who has outgrown a single. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single but the same length, so it adds sleeping room without eating as much floor space as a UK double would.
Romantica Bamboo Memory Mattress small double vs double: which should I buy?
The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double and the same length. Choose the UK small double for one sleeper or occasional guests. For a couple every night, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.
Will a couple feel each other move on the Romantica UK small double?
Probably, yes. The interlaced open coil springs are joined together, so movement travels across the mattress, and on a UK small double you're lying closer together too. For a night or two in a guest room most people won't mind, but restless partners sharing nightly may find it disruptive.
How big is the Romantica small double in feet?
The UK small double measures 4ft x 6ft 3in, or 120 x 190cm. Buy a 4ft frame and small double fitted sheets so the corners sit properly; a standard double duvet on top works well.
