Layer Details
- Cover. A QuickRefresh cover with SmartCool technology, which means the surface is designed to feel cooler when you get in. It can be removed, making the sleep surface easier to keep fresh.
- Filling. TEMPUR Advanced Material, a slow-response foam that softens with your body heat and moulds to your shape. You sink into it gradually rather than lying on top, which relieves pressure but gives a distinctive 'hugged' feel.

- Real width for one sleeper: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can stretch out or shift position without meeting the edge, useful given how the foam cradles you in place.
- Fits rooms a double cannot: The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can be the difference between a door that clears the bed and one that doesn't.
- Barely-there partner movement: When someone does share for the odd night, the slow-response TEMPUR material absorbs movement, so a restless guest is unlikely to disturb the other side.
- Cooler surface in a smaller room: Compact bedrooms can run stuffy, and the SmartCool cover is designed to keep the sleep surface feeling cooler than standard memory foam.
- Standard 4ft bedding and frames: The small double is a standard UK size, so fitted sheets and frames are easy to find, with a normal double duvet on top.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone most nights and have outgrown a single, but your room can't take a full double. You're furnishing a studio, loft conversion or small second bedroom where every centimetre of floor matters. Or you're setting up a guest room that hosts the occasional couple rather than anyone nightly. Allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space, our suggested minimum for this size.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, or either of you sleeps restlessly. On 120cm of width, two adults on slow-response foam will feel hemmed in over time, so we'd recommend the UK double instead for regular couples.

Is a small double Tempur Pro Luxe SmartCool big enough for two?
For occasional nights, yes. The mattress absorbs movement well, so a visiting couple will sleep undisturbed by each other. For every night, 120cm of width is tight for two adults, especially on foam that moulds around you and makes casual sprawling less likely. Regular couples would be better served by the UK double.
What size room do I need for a small double mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space, which leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. That guidance is ours rather than Tempur's. The small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, and in a box room or loft conversion that margin often decides the layout.
How does the UK small double compare with the UK double in this mattress?
The UK small double is 15cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length at 190cm. The feel is identical: the same TEMPUR Advanced Material and SmartCool cover in both. You're choosing on space alone, so let the room and the number of nightly sleepers decide.
What bedding fits the small double Tempur Pro Luxe SmartCool?
You'll need small double, or 4ft, fitted sheets. Bear in mind the mattress is 30cm deep, so look for deep-fitted sheets rather than standard ones, or the corners will lift. A standard double duvet works fine on top, and 4ft is a common UK size, so bedding is easy to find.
Should a taller sleeper buy the small double or the UK king?
The UK small double is 10cm shorter than the UK king, at 190cm long against 200cm. If you're around six foot or more and dislike your feet reaching the end, that extra length matters. The UK king is also 30cm wider, though it needs a noticeably bigger room, so measure before sizing up.
