Layer Details
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide it needs only 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space by our guidance, so a desk, wardrobe and toy storage can still fit around it.
- Suits children and teens: The UK single is the standard children's size, and the Ice Arthur's independent pocket springs respond to a lighter body rather than pushing back as one block.
- Works for guest and spare rooms: A room that doubles as an office keeps its working space, and one wall can even take two UK singles with a walkway between them.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked of any size, useful when a child's bedding needs replacing more often than an adult's.
- Simple to move: A 3ft mattress is the easiest size to get up a narrow staircase or into a loft conversion where only a slim footprint fits under the slope.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's room or a teenager who has outgrown a smaller bed, you need a guest bed in a spare room that also holds a desk, or you're a single adult in a first flat or student room where the frame is provided and space is tight. The UK single leaves the most floor free of any standard adult size.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sleeps sprawled, or you occasionally share the bed. The UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length, and we'd recommend it instead; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is the Arthur Sleep Ice Arthur available in a UK single?
Yes. The Ice Arthur comes in five UK sizes and the UK single, at 90 x 190cm, is the smallest of them. Prices in this size are shown live on this page and update as the retailer changes them, so check the table here rather than relying on a figure quoted elsewhere.
Will the Ice Arthur UK single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The width is right: 90 x 190cm matches standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. The catch is depth. Raised frames usually cap mattress depth for safety rail clearance, and Arthur Sleep doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so check with the retailer before ordering it for a bunk.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress like this?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which is our own guidance rather than the brand's. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe, so in most children's bedrooms and box rooms a UK single fits without the door clipping the frame.
Is the UK single Ice Arthur a good choice for a child or teenager?
It's a sensible fit. Pocket springs move independently, which means the mattress responds to a lighter body instead of feeling rigid, and the UK single is the standard size for children's frames. One caveat: Arthur Sleep doesn't publish a firmness rating, so if your child needs a specific feel, ask the retailer before buying.
Should I get the Ice Arthur in a UK single or a UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and the two are the same length. For a child, a solo teen or a tight guest room, the UK single is plenty. If an adult will sleep there most nights and the room offers at least 2.4m x 2.8m, the UK small double gives welcome extra shoulder room.
