The name is where mix-ups start, because a bed sold as a small double could be either size. Measure the length inside the frame: if it's 190 cm, you need a UK \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/small-double-mattresses\"\u003esmall double mattress\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWill a UK small double fit a 120 x 200 bed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA UK small double fits the width of a 120 x 200 bed but not the length: at 190 cm long, it leaves 10 cm of empty frame at one end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat space lets the mattress slide about, and pillows and bedding end up down the gap. If the mattress you have now keeps creeping and leaves bare slats at one end, measure the frame: it may well be a 120 x 200. On a teenager's high sleeper or any child's bed, a gap is a safety issue as well, so match the frame exactly. Going the other way, a 120 x 200 cm mattress is 10 cm too long for a UK small double frame and won't lie flat inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is a 120 x 200 mattress good for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 120 x 200 mattress is good for one adult who wants more room than a single, and for tall teenagers moving up from a single bed. It's 30 cm wider than a single and long enough for people up to about 185 to 190 cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat height comes from a simple rule: a mattress should be about 10 to 15 cm longer than the tallest person sleeping on it. A UK small double, at 190 cm, suits people up to about 175 to 180 cm, so a teenager who's shooting up gets more room to grow on a 120 x 200. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/teen-mattresses\"\u003eteen mattresses\u003c\/a\u003e page has more on firmness and support at that age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also makes a roomy guest bed for a smaller spare room.

Even a UK double (135 x 190 cm) gives 67.5 cm each, though it's 10 cm shorter. For two people every night, a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/european-double-mattresses\"\u003eEuropean double mattress\u003c\/a\u003e (140 x 200 cm) gives 70 cm each, and a European king (160 x 200 cm) gives 80 cm each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat sheets fit a 120 x 200 mattress?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 120 x 200 mattress needs fitted sheets and a mattress protector made for 120 x 200 cm.
