What size is a small double mattress?

A small double bed mattress is 4ft by 6ft 3". In metric dimensions, this is equal to 120 x 190 cm - approximately 6 inches narrower than standard double mattresses. They’ve become more popular over recent years, as small bedrooms are now common, especially within apartments and for those who live in cities. 

Small double mattresses are also super popular for teenagers and guest rooms and work great with our range of small double divan beds.

What are the different types of small double mattresses?

Just like their bigger brothers, small double mattresses come in a wide variety of types. Memory foam mattresses are convenient and provide you with plenty of comfort and support, moulding to the shape of your body. The classic sprung option is a budget-friendly choice, while pocketed spring mattresses provide exceptional support with less movement transference. Look out for hypoallergenic options if you suffer from asthma or allergies, and orthopaedic versions if you prefer a firmer feel.

The cheapest small doubles are typically standard sprung 4ft mattresses. If cost is the key factor, we recommend starting here. But you might find it better value for money to spend a little more and choose a mattress that you’ll be happy with for years to come. If you struggle to sleep because of your current standard sprung mattress, consider opting for a memory foam mattress instead.

Can a small double mattress fit two adults?

A small double can fit two adults of average size quite comfortably. As they measure 4’ wide x 6’3” long, you should be able to snuggle up together and still have enough space to stretch out if you want.

Can you put a small double mattress on a double bed?

It’s not advisable, as there will be a gap around the sides that could mean the mattress moves around on the bed frame or allows a draught to blow between the mattress and the frame. It’s always best to get the correct size mattress to match your bedframe for maximum comfort.
