Layer Details
- Top upholstery layer. Hand-teased real Shetland wool blended with cashmere and mohair. These fibres are naturally breathable and soft against the body, which means a gentler surface feel and better temperature regulation than synthetic fillings.
- Middle upholstery layer. Hand-opened Austrian Moosburger® horsetail. Horsetail is prized for its resilience, which means it recovers its shape night after night and helps the mattress resist sagging.
- Base upholstery layer. Blended real Shetland wool and cotton. This layer cushions the transition between the soft upper fillings and the springs below, so you feel support without feeling the spring unit itself.
- Spring layer. A two layer hand-nested calico pocket spring construction with 2,812 vanadium steel pocket springs. Two tiers of springs give progressive support, which means a softer initial feel that firms up as you sink in.

- Room to spread out on your own: At 30cm wider than the UK single, the UK small double lets you stretch out or sleep at an angle, with each spring responding to you independently.
- Space around the bed in a small room: Being 15cm narrower than the UK double, the UK small double can leave enough clearance for a door to swing open or a bedside table to fit.
- Easier to live with under a sloping ceiling: In a loft conversion, the UK small double leaves you more floor where the ceiling is high enough to stand, so getting in and out feels less cramped.
- A comfortable guest bed for occasional couples: Visiting couples can share the UK small double for a night or two, although it is a tighter fit than a bed two people use every night.
- A standard British width: The UK small double is a recognised 4ft UK size, so finding a frame and bedding to match is straightforward.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want noticeably more width than a UK single gives you, or your bedroom is too compact for a UK double but you still host the odd visiting couple.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner every night. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.

Is the Vispring Magnificence UK small double big enough for one adult?
For most solo sleepers, yes. The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single while keeping the same length, so you gain real room to turn and spread out without the footprint of a UK double. Taller sleepers should check the 190cm length suits them before committing.
Will a Vispring Magnificence small double fit in a loft conversion?
Often it will, which is a common reason buyers choose the UK small double. It is 15cm narrower than the UK double, which can make the difference where a sloping ceiling limits the standing room beside the bed. We suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m, and measuring at the height you will actually stand.
Vispring Magnificence UK small double or UK double: which should I buy?
If you sleep alone, the UK small double gives you plenty of width and suits a smaller room. If two of you share every night, the UK double is the better choice: it gives 67.5cm each for two sharing and is the same length. We suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Is the Vispring Magnificence in a UK small double a good guest bed?
It suits a guest room used by couples now and then, or by single visitors most of the time. Two adults will find the UK small double snug for more than a few nights. The firm, supportive feel is well suited to guests of different builds, though lighter sleepers may find it a little firm.
Is a UK small double too small if I'm downsizing from a UK king?
You will notice it. The UK small double is 30cm narrower and 10cm shorter than the UK king, so it suits a single sleeper moving to a smaller room rather than a couple. If two of you are downsizing together, look at the UK double first, and measure the new room rather than the old one.
