Layer Details
- Microquilted cover. A quilted cover made with eco-friendly Tencel®, a natural fabric that helps control moisture, so the surface stays drier through the night. It's also a gentle choice if you have sensitive skin.
- Reflex foam. A layer of Reflex foam, a firmer, more responsive alternative to memory foam. You get cushioning without the slow, sinking feel, which suits people who move around in the night.
- Open coil springs. Open coil springs form the support core, with reinforced sprung edges so you can use the full width of the mattress without the sides collapsing. This is what gives the mattress its firm, supportive feel.

- Room to stretch out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep on your front with an arm flung out and still not reach the edge.
- Fits a room that a double would crowd: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double can mean a wardrobe door opens fully or you keep a clear path to the window.
- Edges you can use: The reinforced sprung edges hold up when you sit on the side, which means the full 120cm width is usable on a narrower bed.
- Firm support for one: Open coil springs pass movement across the bed, but that matters far less when you're the only person sleeping on it.
- A drier surface in a small room: Compact bedrooms can feel stuffy, so the moisture-managing Tencel cover helps you stay a little less clammy through a warm night.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, like to spread out and have outgrown a UK single, or your bedroom is too tight for a standard double. It also suits a spare room where couples stay now and then, provided nobody minds feeling a partner shift on firm open coil springs.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night or your partner's movements wake you. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

What size room do I need for a Sleep Story Cool Sleep small double?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves space to walk around the bed and open drawers. If your room falls short of that, measure door swings and furniture before committing, as the 120cm width is often what decides whether a door clears.
Is the Sleep Story Cool Sleep small double big enough for two?
For occasional stays, yes. For every night, probably not, especially on this mattress. The open coil springs move as one unit, so on a 120cm wide bed you'll feel each other turning more than you would on a wider size or a pocket sprung model.
Sleep Story Cool Sleep small double vs double: which should I get?
The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double and the same length. If you sleep alone or your room is compact, the small double makes sense. If two of you share nightly, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.
Is a Sleep Story Cool Sleep small double a good upgrade from a single?
It's a sensible step up for a teenager or adult who has outgrown a single. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and the same length, so you gain width without the bed reaching further into the room.
What are the Sleep Story Cool Sleep small double dimensions in feet?
The UK small double measures 4ft x 6ft 3in, which is 120 x 190cm. It's a standard UK 4ft size, so matching frames and fitted sheets are easy to find. The mattress is 27cm deep, so check your fitted sheets have deep enough pockets.
