Layer Details
Tencel cover
A high-loft, micro-quilted Tencel cover designed to remove moisture, which means a drier, more comfortable surface if you tend to sleep warm. It's also gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin.
Memory foam layer 1
The first of two high-performance premium memory foam layers. This is where the contouring happens, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
Memory foam layer 2
A second premium memory foam layer that deepens the cushioning before you reach the springs. It helps the mattress feel plush rather than abrupt as you settle in.
Pocket springs
1000 pocket springs in the king size provide the supportive core. Because each spring moves independently, you get support where you need it and slightly less disturbance from a partner turning over.

Key benefits
- Room to sprawl on your own: It is 30cm wider than a UK single, which means a teenager or solo adult can turn over and stretch out without an arm hanging off the edge.
- Keeps a little floor back: Being 15cm narrower than a UK double, it leaves slightly more clearance in a box room or studio, so the door and wardrobe are less of a squeeze.
- Sensible for a guest room: Two visitors can share for a weekend, and because the pocket springs move independently, one guest turning over should disturb the other slightly less.
- Contouring with the width to yourself: The two memory foam layers mould around hips and shoulders, which suits a solo side or back sleeper who can settle anywhere across the mattress.
- Simple to dress: 4ft is a standard UK size, so small double fitted sheets and a regular double duvet are easy to find on the high street.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and like to spread out, or you have a teenager who has outgrown a single in a room that cannot give up much floor. It also fits a spare room where a couple stays now and then but nobody sleeps nightly, provided the room is at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which is our suggested minimum.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night and want room to sleep without touching. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Sleep Story Memory Luxe small double big enough for a teenager?
For most teenagers, yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than a UK single and the same length, so a growing teenager gains real sideways room without the bed dominating a smaller bedroom. The medium feel suits most sleepers, although a teenager who prefers a very firm surface may find it too soft.
What size room do I need for a Sleep Story Memory Luxe small double?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. That leaves space to get in and out comfortably and open a door or wardrobe. If your room is tighter than this, measure where the door swings before you order, because in a box room the width of the bed usually decides whether it opens freely.
Should I get the Memory Luxe in a small double or a double?
If you sleep alone, the UK small double gives plenty of room while saving floor space. If two of you share every night, the UK double is 15cm wider, gives 67.5cm each and is the same length. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, compared with 2.4m x 2.8m here.
Can a couple share a Memory Luxe small double in a guest room?
For occasional stays, yes. Guests will be closer together than on a UK double, but the pocket springs move independently, which means slightly less disturbance when one of them shifts. For a couple sleeping together every night, the UK double or UK king would be more comfortable.
Is the Memory Luxe small double long enough for tall sleepers?
The UK small double is 190cm long, the same as the UK single and UK double. If you are tall and your feet already reach the end of a standard bed, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it is also 30cm wider, so we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.
