Layer Details
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted finish that adds a touch of cosiness on top of the foam. It also enhances airflow and breathability, which means the surface should feel a little cooler than a basic foam cover.
- Memory Foam. A 3cm layer of memory foam that cradles to your shape, which means pressure at your hips and shoulders is eased as you settle in. It creates a cushioned feel without the deep sink of thicker memory foam layers.
- Reflex Foam. A 13cm base of sturdy reflex foam, a firmer, more responsive foam that does the supportive work. It promotes spinal alignment and moulds gently to your body, so you feel held on top rather than swallowed.

- A sensible depth for raised frames: At 16cm, it sits low enough for bunk beds, cabin beds and mid sleepers, where a deeper mattress can bring a child above the safety rail.
- Fits where space is tight: At 3ft wide, the UK single leaves floor room for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a small child's bedroom or under a loft slope.
- Medium firm support for growing sleepers: The reflex foam base keeps spines aligned, which means children and teens get proper support rather than sinking into soft foam.
- Budget-friendly where it makes sense: A spare room or student flat rarely justifies a big spend, and this keeps costs down without giving up basic pressure relief.
- Cooler than typical budget foam: The knitted cover improves airflow, so the surface feels a little less warm than most cheap memory foam, useful in a small, stuffy room.
- Light enough to move: The shallow foam build makes it manageable to carry upstairs or lift onto a raised frame without a second pair of hands.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's room and want supportive foam at a low price, you need a mattress shallow enough for a bunk or mid sleeper, or you're furnishing a spare room that doubles as an office and only sees occasional guests. It also suits student rooms and first flats where the frame is provided and you just need something decent to put on it.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult couple, or a solo sleeper who spreads out and finds 90cm restrictive. The Bodyshape Value Memory Mattress also comes in a UK small double, 30cm wider and the same length; we suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Will the Bodyshape Value Memory Mattress UK single fit a bunk bed?
Yes, and it's a genuinely good match. Bunk, cabin and mid-sleeper frames take standard UK single dimensions, 90 x 190cm, and most have depth limits so the sleeper stays below the safety rail. At 16cm, this mattress sits comfortably within the guidance most frame makers give, though check your frame's stated maximum before buying.
What are the dimensions of the Bodyshape Value Memory Mattress UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK single, so it fits any standard single bed frame, divan or bunk, and standard single sheets and a single duvet (135 x 200cm) fit without adjustment.
How much floor space does a UK single mattress need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe door. In a shared children's room with two singles and a walkway between them, you'll need noticeably more width, so measure before committing.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes. The UK single is the standard one-person size, and the medium firm feel here supports most adult sleepers well. If you're used to a bigger bed or tend to spread out, 90cm can feel narrow; lightweight side sleepers may also find the surface slightly firm for their weight.
