EU Single Mattresses
The EU single (90 x 200cm) is the continental take on the single: the same width as a UK single with an extra 10cm of length.
Why choose an EU single?
- The 200cm length suits taller teenagers and adults who find a UK single short.
- It's the standard single size for continental bed frames, including many sold by IKEA.
- At 90cm it takes the same floor width as a UK single.
- It shares its dimensions with the UK long single, so either label fits the same frame.
Allow at least 2.1m x 2.9m; use 90 x 200cm fitted sheets with a standard UK single duvet.

How big is an EU single mattress?
90 x 200cm: the same width as a UK single, 10cm longer.
Will an EU single fit a UK single bed frame?
No. UK single frames are built for 190cm mattresses, so an EU single will not sit properly. Match the mattress to the frame's internal length.
Do I need special bedding for an EU single?
Fitted sheets must be 90 x 200cm, sold as an EU single or continental single. A standard UK single duvet works fine on top.
Why would I choose an EU single?
Usually because you already own a European frame, or because a taller sleeper wants the extra legroom.
