Layer Details
- Cool-to-touch sleep surface. The UltraGel™ cool-to-touch layer uses hyper-conductive technology woven into the surface fabric, which means the mattress feels instantly cool when you lie down. It's the feature to care about if overheating regularly wakes you.
- Gel-infused layer. This gel-infused foam responds to your movements and is 5x more breathable than standard memory foam, according to Silentnight. In practice, that means the contouring of foam with less of the heat build-up.
- Pillowtop. A pillowtop surface adds a plush, cushioned top to the mattress. It gives that sink-in, hotel-bed feel rather than a firmer sleeping surface.
- Pocket spring support system. 2000 Mirapocket® springs work independently, which means one side of the bed can move without disturbing the other. The zoning is scientifically proven, Silentnight says, to improve spinal alignment and posture.

- Room to sprawl on your own: The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, which means a solo sleeper can turn and stretch through the night without edging towards the side.
- Fits where a double would crowd: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double, it can leave you enough floor to open a wardrobe or swing the door clear in a box room.
- Cooler ground to roll onto: The cool-to-touch surface means a restless solo sleeper can shift onto a fresher patch of fabric, which helps a little if overheating tends to wake you.
- Calmer for the odd shared night: 2000 independently moving pocket springs limit how far movement travels, so a couple staying over now and then disturbs each other slightly less on a narrower bed.
- Workable in tighter rooms: We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which suits many loft conversions and second bedrooms where a UK double would leave no standing room beside the bed.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, run warm and have outgrown a single, or you're kitting out a compact guest room where couples stay for a night or two rather than every week.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, as two adults will feel cramped over time. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Is the Silentnight UltraGel Pocket 2000 small double a good upgrade for a teenager?
Often, yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and the same length, so a teenager gains sideways room without the bed reaching further into the room. The medium soft feel also tends to suit lighter bodies, although a teen who sleeps on their front may prefer something firmer.
Will a Silentnight UltraGel UK small double fit in a loft conversion?
In many cases. We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m, and the UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can give you space to stand beside the bed under a sloping ceiling. The pillowtop sits 33cm deep, so check headroom above the frame you plan to use.
Can two guests share the UltraGel Pocket 2000 in a UK small double?
For occasional stays, yes. The pocket springs move independently, which keeps a partner's turning a little more contained. For couples sharing every night, the UK double is the better fit, giving 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for that size.
Is the Silentnight UltraGel small double long enough for a tall sleeper?
The UK small double is 190cm long, the same length as the UK single and UK double. If your feet already reach the end of a standard bed, the UK king is 10cm longer; we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king.
Silentnight UltraGel Pocket 2000 UK small double or UK single for a small bedroom?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double and at least 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single. If your room clears the larger figure and you like to spread out, the UK small double is the more comfortable choice for one adult. If floor space is very tight, the UK single keeps more of it free.
