Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep diagonally or starfish without an arm dropping off the edge.
- Fits rooms a double crowds: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can be the difference between a bedroom door that swings open cleanly and one that catches the frame.
- No extra length to find space for: It shares the 190cm length of the UK single, so swapping one out for this needs no extra floor at the foot of the bed.
- Firm support at a compact width: Zoned Mirapocket springs sit under the whole 120cm surface, which means a solo back sleeper gets even, solid backing right out to the sides.
- Copes with the odd shared night: Individually wrapped springs limit motion transfer, so a couple staying over in a guest room should disturb each other a little less.
- Easy to dress: Small double (4ft) fitted sheets are standard in UK shops, and a standard double duvet covers it with room to tuck.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone but feel cramped in a single, or a teenager has outgrown theirs and the room can't give up much floor. It also suits a loft conversion where the sloping ceiling leaves little standing room beside a wider bed, or a guest room that sees couples only now and then.
Consider another size if...
Two of you share the bed every night and both want your own space. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Is the Silentnight Newbury 1000 small double big enough for two people?
For a weekend guest or the occasional visit, yes. For nightly sharing it's tight, especially on a firm mattress where you can't sink into your own patch. Couples who share every night are better off with the UK double, which allows 67.5cm each.
What size room do I need for a UK small double mattress?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves space to walk around the bed and open a wardrobe. In a loft conversion, measure where you can actually stand upright, as a sloping ceiling can shrink the usable floor well below the measured area.
Should a solo sleeper choose a small double or double Newbury 1000?
If your room allows at least 2.6m x 2.8m, the UK double adds 15cm of width at the same length. If space is tighter than that, the UK small double still gives one adult plenty of room and keeps the floor clear, which matters more in a compact bedroom.
Is a 4ft mattress a good upgrade from a single for a teenager?
Often, yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single but the same length, so a growing teenager gains real width without the bed creeping further into the room. Bear in mind the Newbury is rated firm, which suits some teenagers far better than others.
What fitted sheet fits the Newbury 1000 in a small double?
Buy a small double (4ft) fitted sheet, as standard double sheets will sag at 120cm wide. This mattress is 27cm deep including the pillow top, so check the sheet's pocket depth covers that before you buy. A standard double duvet works on top.
