Layer Details
British fleece wool
A top layer of British fleece wool, which means natural warmth and a soft, breathable sleeping surface.
Hand-teased horsetail and Devonshire wool
Hand-teased horsetail blended with Devonshire wool. Horsetail is springy and breathable, so the surface feels soft without collapsing under you.
British fleece wool
A second layer of British fleece wool sits between the fillings and the springs, adding cushioning depth.
Pocket springs
A two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction, with 2,030 vanadium steel springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring moves independently, which means support that follows your shape and less disturbance from a partner.

Key benefits
- Room to spread out alone: At 30cm wider than the UK single, you can sleep diagonally or starfish on the soft surface without your arm dropping off the side.
- Fits a tighter room: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double gives you back a little floor beside the bed, which matters in a box room or loft conversion.
- Soft feel for a solo sleeper: A lighter side sleeper gets cushioning at the shoulder and hip, and sleeping alone means no partner's weight pulling the medium-soft surface towards the middle.
- Natural fillings in a smaller room: Wool and horsetail breathe well, which means a small bedroom with limited airflow is less likely to leave you overheating than a foam mattress would.
- Standard 4ft sizing: The UK small double is a familiar British size, so finding a 4ft frame and 4ft fitted sheets should be straightforward.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone but find a single cramped, and you want a soft, natural surface with space to move. It also fits if you're downsizing into a smaller bedroom, or you're furnishing a guest room where couples stay for the odd weekend rather than every night.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed every night, or you're a taller sleeper who needs extra length. For nightly sharing we'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Vispring Kingsbridge Soft small double big enough for two people?
For the occasional night, yes, which makes it a sensible guest room choice. For nightly sharing it is snug, and on a soft mattress two bodies tend to roll together. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing and keeps the same length, so couples sleeping together every night will be more comfortable on the UK double.
What size bedroom do I need for a Kingsbridge small double?
We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. That leaves space to walk round the bed and open a wardrobe or door. In a loft conversion with sloping ceilings, measure the floor where you can actually stand, because that is where you will get in and out of bed.
Should I choose the Vispring Kingsbridge Soft in a UK small double or UK double?
If you sleep alone and floor space is tight, the UK small double is usually enough. The UK double is 15cm wider and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it. Choose the UK double if a partner stays most nights or your room comfortably clears that minimum.
Is the UK small double Kingsbridge long enough if I'm tall?
The UK small double measures 120 x 190cm, or 4ft x 6ft 3in. Most adults fit comfortably, but if your feet already touch the end of your current bed, look at the UK king, which is 10cm longer. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, so check your room first.
