Layer Details
- Comfort Layer. Soft white synthetic fibres sit at the top, which means a cosy surface feel rather than a sink-in one. They're durable and resilient, so the layer should hold its shape over time.
- Support System. Traditional open coil springs are interlaced in a lattice design, which means the whole surface works together to spread your weight evenly. That helps relieve built-up pressure and supports spinal alignment, though it does mean more motion transfer than pocket springs if you share the bed.
- Cover. A finely woven damask cover finishes the mattress, soft to the touch and built to last. It doesn't retain heat, which hot sleepers will appreciate.

- Space to sprawl on your own: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep on your side with knees drawn up, or turn over, without an arm ending up off the edge.
- Fits rooms a standard double would crowd: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can decide whether a wardrobe door still opens or you can walk round the foot of the bed.
- Firm support in a sensible footprint: The interlaced open coil springs spread your weight across the whole surface, which means steady, even support for one sleeper across the full width.
- A cooler choice for a small, warm room: The damask cover doesn't hold on to heat, a real help in a compact bedroom or loft conversion where warm air tends to collect.
- Easy to dress: The UK small double is a standard 4ft x 6ft 3in, so frames and fitted sheets are straightforward to find in ordinary shops.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and a single now feels cramped, or your bedroom is too tight for a standard double but you still want a proper double width, with the flexibility to host a couple for the occasional night.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, particularly with a restless partner, as open coil springs pass movement across a narrow surface. We'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Romantica Serenade Ortho small double a good upgrade for a teenager?
Often, yes. A teenager who has outgrown a single gains 30cm of width on the UK small double while the room keeps more floor space than a UK double would take. The firm open coil feel suits growing bodies that need steady support, although a very light teenager who sleeps on their side may find it a little firm at the hips.
Can a couple share the Serenade Ortho in a UK small double?
For a weekend guest or the odd night, yes. For nightly sharing it is a squeeze, and the open coil springs transfer more movement than pocket springs, so you are more likely to feel a partner turning over on a narrower surface. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, which is far more comfortable long term.
What size room do I need for a UK small double Serenade Ortho?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves space to get in and out comfortably and open furniture doors. In a box room or studio, measure where the door swings before you order, because the bed's 120cm width is often what decides whether it still clears.
Will a Serenade Ortho small double fit in a loft conversion?
It is one of the more practical widths for a loft conversion, since at 120cm it can sit centrally under the highest part of a sloping ceiling and still leave room to stand beside it. The mattress is 25cm deep, so check your frame height too, as sitting up in bed under a low slope can be tighter than you expect.
Should I get the UK small double or UK double Serenade Ortho for one person?
If you sleep alone, the UK small double gives plenty of room on a firm surface and suits smaller bedrooms, with our suggested minimum of 2.4m x 2.8m. Choose the UK double only if you want the extra 15cm of width and your room allows at least 2.6m x 2.8m, or if a partner may start staying regularly.
