- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, the UK small double lets you sleep diagonally, starfish or hug a pillow without an arm dropping off the edge.
- Keeps a small room usable: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double, the UK small double can be the difference between a wardrobe door opening fully and catching on the bed frame.
- Same length as a double: You give up width, never length, because the UK small double is the same 190cm long as the UK double.
- Sensible for a guest room: Visiting couples can share the UK small double for a night or two, which suits a spare room that sleeps one person most of the year.
- Easy to dress: At 4ft, the UK small double is a standard UK size, so you need small double fitted sheets and can use a standard double duvet on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and regularly end up using the whole width of a single, or you are furnishing a loft conversion, box room or small rental bedroom where a double-width bed has to leave space to walk past it. It also suits you if couples will only stay occasionally.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, especially with a partner who moves around in their sleep. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Sleepeezee Shetland Ortho Comfort UK small double big enough for one adult?
For most solo sleepers, yes. At 120cm wide it is 30cm wider than the UK single, which is enough to turn over, spread out or share with a pet without feeling hemmed in. If you are very broad or a restless sleeper, the UK double adds another 15cm of width at the same length.
What size room do I need for a UK small double Shetland Ortho Comfort?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m. That leaves reasonable space to get in and out and to open doors and drawers. In a box room or loft conversion with a sloping ceiling, measure where you can actually stand beside the bed, since usable floor space is often smaller than the room's footprint.
Is the Shetland Ortho Comfort small double long enough for tall people?
The UK small double is 190cm long, the same as the UK single and UK double. If your feet already hang over a standard double, width will not solve it. The UK king is 10cm longer, though it needs more floor space: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Should I choose the Shetland Ortho Comfort in a UK small double or a UK double?
Choose the UK small double if you sleep alone or your room is tight, since it is 15cm narrower. Choose the UK double if two of you share nightly: it gives 67.5cm each, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double compared with 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double.
Can a couple use a Sleepeezee Shetland Ortho Comfort small double in a guest room?
For occasional stays, yes. Guests sharing for a night or two will generally manage on 120cm, and the smaller footprint keeps a spare room practical the rest of the year. If the room is often used by couples, the UK double would be more comfortable for them.
