Layer Details
Damask cover
A genuine damask cover forms the top of the mattress and holds the layers beneath it. It gives you a woven fabric surface to sleep on.
British wool comfort layer (upper)
The first of two natural British wool comfort layers, which sit under the cover. Wool is a natural fibre, so you get a soft, natural cushioning over the firmer layers below.
British wool comfort layer (lower)
A second British wool layer sits beneath the first, adding to the natural filling. Together the two wool layers give the firm feel a little cushioning at the surface.
Polycotton support layer
A polycotton layer sits between the wool and the firmer base. It helps keep the wool filling separate from the foam and springs below.
High density support layer
A high density foam support layer sits above the springs. It gives the springs a firm, even base to work against, which suits the firm feel.
Pocket springs
1,600 individually pocketed springs form the core, with each spring sitting in its own fabric pocket. This is the traditional pocket spring support that gives the mattress its firm feel. The mattress is double sided and turnable, so you can turn it to spread wear.

Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep diagonally or starfish, which means you stop waking with an arm hanging off the edge.
- Keeps floor space in a small room: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double, it leaves that strip free for a wardrobe door to swing or a chest of drawers to open fully.
- Same length as a double: It shares its 190cm length with the UK double, so taller solo sleepers lose width but gain no extra cramp at the foot end.
- Workable in a loft conversion: Where a sloping ceiling limits where you can stand, the narrower footprint leaves a little more headroom along the side you climb in from.
- Fine for guests who share occasionally: Visiting couples can manage a weekend together on it, although you'd want more width if two people used the bed every night.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want more room than a single without filling the room, or your bedroom is compact and a full double would crowd the door. It also suits a spare room where a couple stays only occasionally.
Consider another size if...
Two of you will share the bed every night. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Will a UK small double Sleepeezee Strand Natural fit in a box room?
It can in many cases. The mattress takes up 120 x 190cm, and we suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m so you can walk round it and open doors comfortably. Measure the frame as well as the mattress, because a chunky headboard or footboard adds to the footprint.
UK small double or UK single for a teenager's room?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and exactly the same length, so it helps a growing teenager who sprawls but gains nothing lengthways. It needs more floor: we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m, against at least 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single.
Is the Strand Natural small double long enough for a tall person?
At 190cm it matches the UK double for length, so choosing the narrower size costs you nothing at the foot. If you need more, the UK king is 10cm longer, though it is also 30cm wider and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.
What size bed frame does the Sleepeezee Strand Natural small double need?
Look for a 4ft small double frame, sized 4ft x 6ft 3in. A standard 4ft 6in double frame will leave a gap along the side, so check the frame's internal dimensions match 120 x 190cm before ordering.
Is a UK small double mattress good for a guest bedroom?
For occasional stays, yes. A couple can share a UK small double for a night or two, and the narrower width keeps a small spare room usable the rest of the time. If guests stay often, the UK double is 15cm wider and gives 67.5cm each.
