Layer Details
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide it leaves floor space free for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
- Hybrid comfort at a low price: Springs with foam layers on top, which means proper support with a softer surface, at a price that suits a spare room or child's bed.
- Works where two beds are needed: Siblings sharing a room, or a guest room set up with two beds, can fit a pair of UK singles with a walkway between them.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked and least expensive of any UK size, which keeps ongoing costs down.
- Strong owner sentiment: Across 51 verified owner reviews on Mattressman, this mattress holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's room where the bed has to share space with a desk and storage, you're furnishing a spare room or a room that doubles as an office, or you're a single adult in a compact bedroom, a student room or a first flat where a bigger mattress simply won't fit.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who finds 90cm of width restrictive, or you have the floor space for something roomier. The UK small double would suit you better: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and needs a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

How big is the Arthur Sleep Cool Gel Mattress in a UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK single size, so it fits any standard single bed frame and takes standard single sheets and a single duvet without any hunting for unusual bedding.
Will the UK single Arthur Sleep Cool Gel fit a bunk or mid sleeper?
The width matches standard bunk and mid sleeper frames, which are built around the UK single footprint. The catch is depth: Arthur Sleep doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, and raised frames have safety rail limits, so check your frame's maximum mattress depth with the retailer before buying.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves enough clearance to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors, even in a boxy child's room or a loft conversion where the bed sits against the wall under the slope.
Is the Arthur Sleep Cool Gel a good mattress for a teenager?
It's a reasonable fit. The hybrid build gives springy support with a softer top layer, the low price suits a mattress that may be outgrown, and owner reviews average 4.8 out of 5 across 51 verified reviews. Firmness isn't published, though, so a teen with strong preferences is taking a slight gamble.
Should I buy the UK single or the UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and both are the same length. For a child, a guest bed or a tight room, the UK single is the practical choice. A single adult with space to spare may prefer the UK small double, which needs a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
