Layer Details
- Cover. A micro-quilted knitted Soft as Silk fabric, which gives a gently padded surface feel straight away. The quilting adds a touch of softness before you reach the firmer layers beneath.
- Cushioning foam. A layer of high-grade Reflex foam sits under the cover, offering temperature-controlled pressure relief. In practice, that means cushioning at your shoulders and hips without the heat build-up some foams create.
- Support. Pocket springs form the core, with 1000 springs in the king size, each moving independently to follow your shape and limit motion transfer. DynamicEdge® active side support reinforces the edges, so the full sleep surface stays usable.

- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than a UK single, you can sleep diagonally or starfish without an arm dropping off the side.
- Fits tighter rooms: Being 15cm narrower than a UK double can decide whether a wardrobe door or the bedroom door still opens freely, and we suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
- Usable right to the edge: DynamicEdge® side support firms up the perimeter, which matters more on a narrower bed because you use nearly every centimetre of the surface.
- Calmer for guest couples: Independently moving pocket springs limit how much one person's turning reaches the other, which helps when visiting couples share a UK small double for a weekend.
- Firm support for growing bodies: The firm feel suits back and front sleepers, including heavier-built teenagers who have outgrown a single but still sleep alone.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone but feel cramped on a UK single, your double bedroom is on the small side and you need walking space around the bed, or you are furnishing a guest room where couples stay only occasionally.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each and needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Sleep Story Luxury Firm UK small double good for a teenager?
It suits a teenager who has outgrown a single well. The UK small double adds 30cm of width over a UK single at the same length, so there's more room to turn over without claiming much extra floor. The firm feel suits teens who sleep on their back or front, although a slim side sleeper may find it a little hard at the shoulders.
Will a UK small double Sleep Story Luxury Firm fit in a box room?
Often, yes. We suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double, which leaves space to walk around the bed and open doors. Measure the door swing and any wardrobe before ordering, because in a very small room a few centimetres decide whether everything clears.
Should I get the Sleep Story Luxury Firm in a UK small double or UK double?
Choose the UK small double if you sleep alone or the room is tight, since it is 15cm narrower and the same length. Pick the UK double if two of you share nightly: it gives 67.5cm each, though we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of room for it.
Is a small double Sleep Story Luxury Firm comfortable for guest couples?
For a night or a weekend, it works. The pocket springs move independently, so one guest turning over disturbs the other less, and the reinforced edges mean the outer strip of the bed stays usable. For nightly sharing, a wider size would be kinder.
What fitted sheet size do I need for the Sleep Story Luxury Firm small double?
Buy small double (4ft) fitted sheets rather than standard double ones, which will bag at the sides. The mattress is 26cm deep, so check the sheet's pocket depth covers that before buying. A standard double duvet works well on top.
