Introducing our collection of Small Double Mattresses, a great solution for smaller master bedrooms, teenagers’ rooms, and guest bedrooms alike. Our queen size mattress range boasts a comfy night’s sleep for two people or gives one sleeper plenty of room in bed to stretch out as they please. Queen mattresses come in a variety of different types, so we understand how tricky choosing a mattress can be, even when you know which size you want. That’s where we can help. Bensons for Beds are here to help you choose the right small double mattress for you. From body-hugging small double memory foam mattresses through to extra firm orthopaedic 4ft mattresses that can help relieve back pain, we’ll help you choose the mattress you need to fall asleep faster.
A small double mattress is 4 feet (120cm) wide and 6 feet 3 inches (190cm) long.
Also known as a queen size mattress, small double mattresses are six inches (or 15cm) narrower than a double mattress.
Because they are slightly smaller in size, small double mattresses can be a good alternative to a double bed if you’re short on space in your bedroom.
For the best fit, be sure to measure the space you have available in your bedroom before you choose your bed and mattress.
A queen sized mattress (or a small double) is a good choice if you are looking for a comfortable sleep for two adults, or if you sleep on your own and like to stretch out at night.
A small double bed and mattress is also a great option for a growing teenager’s bedroom or for your own, if you have a smaller bedroom and need to save space.
There are several different types of small double mattress available. These include memory foam mattresses and pocket sprung mattresses. Small double mattresses also come in different firmness ratings, from soft to medium and firm. The mattress type and firmness you choose will depend on your preferences when sleeping.
If you need more guidance on which mattress is right for you then check out our mattress buying guide for handy tips and information.
A small double mattress should be able to fit on a double bed frame, but it won’t be a perfect fit and this could lead to discomfort in the long run.
We would therefore always recommend that you buy the same size bed and mattress as this will offer you the most comfortable night’s sleep and the maximum amount of support.
The depth of a small double mattress differs from one design to the next. Different products, manufacturers, and styles will have different small double mattress depths. If you want to know what the depth of a particular mattress will be, check out the individual product page where you’ll find its dimensions are detailed.
When it comes to deciding which mattress is best, there really is no one size fits all solution. Your wants and needs will differ from the next person, and theirs from the next, and so on. So, it’s about choosing the best mattress for you. And that’s the one that aligns with your wants, needs, and budget!
Here are some of the different types of queen size mattresses we offer at Bensons for Beds:
Small double orthopaedic mattresses: An orthopaedic mattress in queen size is great option for anyone who’s suffering with aches and pains either during the night, or in the morning. So, be it back or neck pain, or just a fondness of firmer mattresses, a queen orthopaedic mattress could be ideal.
Small double memory foam mattresses: Do you appreciate the conforming nature of memory foam? If so, a queen memory foam mattress might be your solution to getting a better night’s sleep. Mattresses made from memory foam adapt to create a personalised-feeling sleep surface. And they’re great at offering pressure point relief too. Queen size mattresses made from memory foam (or any size memory foam mattress) are also handy for minimising motion transfer. So, this option may be a winner if you and your partner are regularly waking each other up during the night as you move about in your sleep.
Small double pocket spring mattresses: If you overheat during the night, move around a lot while you sleep, or are on the lookout for more consistent support, a queen size or small double pocket sprung mattress could be exactly what you need. These come equipped with individually wrapped springs that help to promote air flow in the mattress. Small double pocket spring mattresses are also extremely responsive while helping to minimise the risk of motion transfer. If you’re a mattress that ticks many boxes, a pocket sprung mattress could be right for you.
Small double hybrid mattresses: A small double hybrid mattress combines both springs and foam to give you the best of both worlds. The foam enhances comfort and provides additional comfort for those pressure points while the springs are hard at work keeping you supported and cool at night.
Small double latex mattresses: If you regularly get too hot in bed, or you have allergies (as long as those allergies don’t include latex) a queen sized latex mattress might be what you need. Find out why in our informative Latex Mattress Buying Guide.
Small double coil mattresses: Small double open coil mattresses are filled with hundreds of individual coils, but unlike the ones in pocket spring mattresses, these ones aren’t individually wrapped. Generally, open coil (or open spring) mattresses are a budget-friendly option. But they also help to improve air flow within your queen mattress while delivering responsive support. They’re often lighter in weight when compared to other mattress types too.
Small double rolled up mattresses: A queen roll up mattress (or a small double bed in a box, if you prefer) is a ideal for anyone who’s home is in a multi-storey building like a flat or an apartment. If getting from the front door of the building to the front door of your home is going to be an issue, a rolled mattress will make life easier. This type of mattress is delivered rolled up which makes getting it to your bedroom so much easier to do.
Each 4ft small double mattress has a different firmness. At Bensons for Beds, we offer a Comfort Rating System which will help you to find the right mattress for you. All of our small double mattresses have a firmness rating from soft through to extra firm.
If you’re looking for a small double divan bed with a mattress then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Bensons for Beds we offer bed sets which include both a bed frame and a mattress. Our 4ft small double bed with mattress included are available with or without storage too.
Small double divan beds are an excellent choice if you are struggling for storage in your bedroom. They provide additional storage drawers underneath the bed which can easily be opened. These bed drawers come in handy for storing spare bedding, additional towels, and seasonal clothing, making them easy to access as and when you need to.
Small double mattresses aren’t an everyday purchase, which can make budgeting for one hard, especially if you’re looking to buy one with premium features.
