Small Double Mattresses
Transform your slumber with a small double mattress, measuring 4ft wide and 6ft 3in long (120cm x 190cm). Our collection features a whole host of mattresses for small double beds; all you have to do is decide on the size, comfort grade and type of mattress. Cosy rest and peaceful dreams await with our range of small double mattresses.
What are the dimensions of a small double mattress?
A small double mattress is approximately 120cm (4ft) in width and 190cm (6ft 3 inches) in length. You may also know them as queen-size mattresses - they are 6 inches smaller than a double mattress, making them perfect for small spaces.
If you're unsure whether one will fit in your room, use our home measuring guide.
Are small double mattresses suitable for couples and individuals?
Absolutely! Small double mattresses are versatile and can work well for both couples and individuals. While they provide a bit more space than a single mattress, they are still cosy and intimate, making them ideal for couples who don't mind being snug.
Also called a ¾ size mattress, they also work wonderfully for individuals who desire a little extra room to stretch out without sacrificing too much space in their home. And as they are only 4ft wide, they are a fantastic size for guest rooms and teenagers’ bedrooms too.
What type of small double mattress should you choose?
Let’s go through the different fillings, spring types, brands and their benefits to find one that's right for you…
I need a mattress that will reduce sleep-related pain
Do you suffer from stiff joints, back pain, or any muscular-related pain whilst in bed? The best solution to combat and reduce sleep-related pain is choosing a mattress to support your body. A memory foam mattress has advanced technology which supports your body by relieving pressure points as you sink into the mattress. Once you find that perfect position, the mattress will conform to the contour of your body. If back pain is a problem for you when sleeping, then an orthopaedic mattress can offer extra support for your spine. A mattress with a medium comfort level is the best choice for those suffering from back pain.
I move around a lot in my sleep
If you often find that you toss and turn in your sleep, then a pocket sprung mattress is the one for you. These mattresses respond to your body's movement due to springs sitting in their pockets. So, whilst other mattresses will move to the contours of your body, a pocket-sprung mattress will shift in coordination with your movement, leaving you with a high level of comfort throughout the night.
I am either too hot or too cold when trying to sleep
Overheating or feeling chilly when trying to get to sleep can really affect your sleep quality. No chilly toes here! If this happens to you, a gel mattress may just be your perfect solution. As the name suggests, a gel mattress has a gel layer that helps regulate body temperature so you never get too hot or cold.
I don’t want to overspend on a mattress
Perhaps you need a mattress for a spare bedroom or a bed that isn’t often used. Maybe you have a strict budget. If any of these are the case, a traditional spring mattress may be your best budget-friendly solution. Despite their cheaper price point, these mattresses are still super comfy and supportive.
I need a mattress suitable for a combination of reasons
If there are several solutions you need a mattress to solve, or perhaps you share a mattress with a partner and have different needs, then we have a solution for you. Hybrid mattresses are designed with pocket springs and a layer of memory foam, latex or gel, helping to cater for multiple sleeping needs. See our selection of Therapur ActiGel mattresses and Tempur mattresses to discover your perfect combination. If you share a bed with a partner, then our selection of zip and link mattresses and split tension give you both mattress options based upon your personal needs.
We also have small double mattresses from well-known brands such as Silentnight, Sleepeezee, Reylon, and more! You can use our mattress finder to help you choose one.
