Key benefits
- Room to spread out on your own: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep at an angle or starfish, and the parallel spring design is meant to keep the edges usable too.
- Fits a compact double room: We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m, so it suits a box room or loft conversion where a UK double might crowd the door.
- Calmer for occasional guests: Sink-in memory foam limits motion transfer, which means a couple staying over for a weekend are less likely to wake each other on the narrower surface.
- A sensible step up for a teenager: A teenager who has outgrown a UK single gains 30cm of width at the same length, leaving more of the floor free for a desk.
- Bedding is simple to buy: The UK small double is a standard 4ft size, so you can pick up matching fitted sheets and use a standard double duvet on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and like room to stretch out, your bedroom is small or sits in a loft conversion with little space either side of the bed, or a couple only stays over now and then.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with another adult every night. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.

FAQ's
Is the Silentnight Portchester pillow top small double big enough for two people?
For occasional stays, yes, and the sink-in memory foam helps stop one person's movement waking the other. For two adults every night it feels tight. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, and the UK king gives 75cm each, so either of those is the better choice for nightly sharing.
What size room do I need for a UK small double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. That suits box rooms, small second bedrooms and loft conversions with limited floor space. If your room reaches 2.6m x 2.8m, you could fit the UK double, which is 15cm wider at the same length.
How much wider is a UK small double than a single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and exactly the same length. That makes it a practical upgrade for a teenager or a solo adult who wants more room to turn over, without the bed taking over a small room.
Is a UK small double long enough if I'm tall?
The UK small double is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in. If you are tall, or like room at your feet, the UK king and UK super king are both 10cm longer, though they are also much wider and need a larger room.
What bedding fits the Portchester in a UK small double?
Look for small double (4ft) fitted sheets, and a standard double duvet works on top. The mattress is 27cm deep with a pillow top, so check that a fitted sheet's pocket depth comfortably covers that before you buy.
