Layer Details
- Cover. A stretch damask cover, which means the surface flexes with the layers beneath rather than pulling tight across them. It's a soft, traditional-feeling finish.
- Fillings. Foam and fibre fillings sit beneath the cover. These give a slightly cushioned surface feel before you reach the firm spring support below.
- Spring system. The AdvantEdge® pocket spring system uses 2,000 springs in a king size, each moving independently, which means support is tailored across your whole body rather than delivered in one rigid plane. It's designed to support you right across the sleep surface.
- Side support. DynamicEdge active side support reinforces the perimeter, which means you can sleep or sit right at the edge without it giving way. Useful if you share the bed and need every inch of width.

- Room to sprawl on your own: At 30cm wider than the UK single, the UK small double lets you lie diagonally or starfish on a firm surface without an arm dropping over the side.
- Edges you can use: DynamicEdge side support reinforces the perimeter, which means you can use the full 120cm width instead of keeping away from a soft outer strip.
- Fits a tighter room: We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m, so the UK small double can go into a box room or loft conversion where a UK double would leave the door catching the frame.
- Sensible for occasional guests: Each pocket spring moves independently, which means when two friends stay over for a night, one turning over should disturb the other a little less.
- Simple to kit out: The 4ft width is a standard UK size, so you'll find frames and small double fitted sheets on the high street without hunting around.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and like plenty of space to spread out on a firm surface, or your bedroom is too tight for a 4ft 6in frame and you still want something wider than a single.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night, as two adults will feel squeezed. 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 Sleep Story Ortho 2000 UK small double okay for couples staying over?
For a weekend visit, yes. Two guests will be close, but the firm edges let them use the whole 120cm width. For a couple sleeping together nightly, the UK double is the better fit, giving 67.5cm each, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK small double Ortho 2000?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves enough room to walk round the bed and open a door or wardrobe in a small bedroom. If your room is close to that, measure the door swing as well, since that is often what decides whether a bed fits comfortably.
How much wider is the Ortho 2000 UK double than the UK small double?
The UK double is 15cm wider, and both are the same length. For one sleeper, that extra 15cm rarely matters. For two people sharing every night it makes a noticeable difference, which is why we point couples towards the UK double and solo sleepers in compact rooms towards the UK small double.
Is the Ortho 2000 UK small double long enough for a tall person?
It measures 120 x 190cm, or 4ft x 6ft 3in. If your feet already touch the end of a standard bed, the UK king is 10cm longer, though it is also 30cm wider and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.
Should my teenager move from a single to the Ortho 2000 UK small double?
If they have outgrown a single, the UK small double adds 30cm of width with no extra length, so it takes up less floor space than you might expect. We suggest 2.4m x 2.8m for it, against 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single. The extra firm feel suits teenagers who sleep on their back or front.
