A small double mattress measures approximately 4 feet by 6 feet 3 inches (120 cm by 190 cm). They are great for people who sleep alone and want more room than a single bed, but not as much as a full double bed. People sometimes refer to it as a queen size or ¾ size mattress. It's a smart pick for guest rooms, people with smaller rooms or those who want to create more space in their bedroom due to it being smaller than a double.
