Layer Details
- Firm support with room to move: Back and front sleepers who shift position through the night get a consistent, supportive surface across the full 120cm width, which means no soft edges to roll towards.
- A double feel for compact rooms: At 15cm narrower than the UK double, this size can be the difference between a door that clears the bed frame and one that doesn't.
- 1,400 springs across a smaller footprint: Each pocket spring moves independently, so on the occasional night two people share, one person turning over is less likely to wake the other.
- Suits a teenager's room: For a teenager who has outgrown a single, the UK small double adds 30cm of width without swallowing the remaining floor space.
- Standard 4ft bedding and frames: The small double is an established UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, and a standard double duvet works fine on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, prefer a firmer, orthopaedic-style feel, and want more stretching room than a UK single without giving your bedroom over to the bed. It also fits if you're furnishing a guest room or holiday let where couples stay occasionally rather than nightly, or a loft conversion or box room where 15cm of width decides whether anything else fits.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night. At 120cm wide, the UK small double is snug for two on a firmer mattress with little give to absorb the squeeze, so we'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m of room.

Is a small double big enough for the Silentnight Pocket 1400 to suit a couple?
For occasional nights, yes. The 1,400 pocket springs respond to each sleeper separately, so movement transfers less than you might expect. Every night is another matter: 120cm is a tight fit for two adults, and this firmer surface won't cushion the closeness. Full-time couples would be better served by the UK double, which is 15cm wider.
What room size do I need for the small double Silentnight Pocket 1400?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That gives you space to walk round the bed, open a door and fit a bedside table, rather than simply squeezing the mattress in. This is our own guidance, not Silentnight's, so treat it as a sensible minimum and measure your room before ordering.
How much wider is a small double than a single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are the same length at 190cm. For a solo adult who likes a firm mattress but has outgrown the narrowness of a single, that extra width is the whole point of this size: room to spread out without stepping up to a full double.
Will the firm feel work for one person on a small double?
That depends more on you than the size. Back and front sleepers, and anyone who prefers to be held up rather than cradled, tend to get on well with it. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm at the shoulder and hip, and the extra width of the small double won't change that.
Is the small double a good choice for a guest room?
It's a sensible one. Solo guests get plenty of space, couples can manage for a short stay, and the 4ft width leaves more of the room free than a standard double would. The firmer feel divides opinion less over a weekend than it might over years, which makes it easier to buy for people you can't ask.
