- Comfort zones. The surface is divided into comfort zones, which means different areas of the mattress respond a little differently to where your body needs give and where it needs support. It's a simple way of tailoring a foam mattress without adding depth.
- Standard foam. A core of polyurethane foam at 33 kg/m3 provides the firm support the mattress is built around. That density figure matters: it suggests the foam should resist softening and dipping better than lighter budget foams.
- Memory foam. A layer of memory foam softens the firm core slightly, contouring to your shoulders and hips as they warm it. You'll feel a gentle cradle rather than a deep sink.

- Made for Ikea frames: Most Ikea single bed frames take the EU single, so this size drops straight into the frame you may already own without gaps or overhang.
- Length for taller sleepers: The EU single is 10cm longer than the UK single, which means adults and growing teenagers get proper foot room rather than toes hanging off the end.
- No extra floor width needed: At 90cm wide it takes the same floor width as a UK single, so the added length rarely forces a room rethink; we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.9m.
- Light enough to handle alone: A 16cm foam build in the narrowest size is easy to rotate, move between rooms or carry upstairs, useful for lofted teenage bedrooms and rentals.
- Firm support in a slim single: The 33 kg/m3 foam core keeps its shape well for the price, which matters in a single that may serve one sleeper nightly for years.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and find a standard UK single a little short, or you already own a European bed frame, Ikea's included, and need a mattress cut to fit it. It also suits a taller teenager who has outgrown their childhood mattress but doesn't have the bedroom space for anything wider.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed, or you want more shoulder room than 90cm allows. We'd recommend the Ikea Abygda in a UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Will the Ikea Abygda EU single fit my existing Ikea bed frame?
Very likely, yes. Ikea's single frames are typically built to the continental 90 x 200cm standard, which is exactly what the Abygda EU single measures. Check the internal dimensions of your specific frame before ordering, but if it came from Ikea and takes a 200cm mattress, this size should sit flush with no gaps at the foot end.
Is the Abygda EU single long enough for a tall adult?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the EU single is 10cm longer than a UK single, and it matches the length of a UK king. For most tall sleepers that extra length is the difference between comfortable foot room and a nightly shuffle up the bed. The firm foam feel also suits back sleepers, who tend to notice length most.
What bedding do I need for the Abygda in an EU single?
You'll need 90 x 200cm fitted sheets, which are sold as EU single or sometimes European single sheets. Ikea stocks them as standard, and most UK bedding retailers now carry the size too. A standard UK single duvet works fine on top, so it's only the fitted sheet you need to buy specially.
How much space does an EU single mattress need in a bedroom?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.9m. The width requirement is the same as for a UK single, since both are 90cm across, but the extra 10cm of length means you need a slightly deeper room. In practice, most rooms that took a UK single comfortably will take an EU single too.
Where can I buy the Abygda EU single at the best price?
Compare the retailers listed on this page. The prices shown here are live and updated as retailers change them, so checking the table before you buy is the quickest way to see who currently has the EU single at the lowest price, rather than assuming Ikea itself is always cheapest.
