What Size Is Small Double Bedding?

Small double beds, also known as 4ft beds, typically measure 120 x 190cm. Because they are narrower than a standard double bed, they require specially sized bedding to ensure a proper fit.

Using standard double bedding on a small double bed can result in excess fabric, loose corners or an untidy finish, especially with fitted sheets.
