three-quarter sized bed
I've always known this as a three-quarter sized bed - i.e. 3/4 of a double.
See the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed_sizes
(under "Other US sizes", but I can attest also use in UK and better known then the suggested "super single" - although this could be a possibility if you prefer!)
http://www.eurobed.co.uk/search/120cm-mattress.php
(see mattress sizes)
Search Google for plenty of other examples!
