UK Long Single Mattresses
The UK long single (90 x 200cm) keeps standard single width and stretches the length: effectively the same footprint as a European single.
Why choose a long single?
- It gives an extra 10cm of length over a standard single.
- The 90cm width is unchanged, so the room layout doesn't move.
- It fits any frame with a 200cm internal length, including EU single designs.
- It suits teenagers who have shot up, and adults over 6ft in a single room.
Allow at least 2.1m x 2.9m; use 90 x 200cm fitted sheets (sold as EU or long single), with a standard single duvet.

How big is a long single mattress?
90 x 200cm, the same footprint as a European single.
Long single or EU single?
They share the same dimensions; the label depends on the retailer. Either fits a frame with a 200cm internal length.
What bedding fits?
90 x 200cm fitted sheets, sold as EU or long single. A standard single duvet goes on top.
Will a long single fit a standard single frame?
Not properly. A standard single frame takes a 190cm mattress, so the extra 10cm would overhang or refuse to sit flat. Look for a long single or EU single frame instead.
