Layer Details
- Bamboo Cover. A gentle bamboo fabric cover made from clean, high quality fibres with a hypoallergenic finish. That means less irritation for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.
- Soft White Fibres. A layer of soft synthetic white fibres that is notably breathable and comforting. It helps air move through the top of the mattress, which you'll feel as a slightly cooler sleep surface.
- Memory Foam. A 2.5cm layer of high density memory foam that adapts around your body. It's a fairly slim layer, so expect a gentle contouring hug rather than a deep sink-in feel.
- Traditional Open Coil Springs. Interlaced springs joined in a lattice design, which distribute your weight evenly to relieve built-up pressure and support spinal alignment. Because the coils are connected, movement does transfer across the bed more than it would with pocket springs.
- Wire Frame Border. A wire frame around the border of the mattress. This helps the edges keep their shape over time.

- Fits a busy child's bedroom: At 90cm wide it leaves room for a wardrobe, a desk and the inevitable toy storage, even in a small room.
- Hypoallergenic cover for young sleepers: The bamboo fabric cover has a hypoallergenic finish, which means less irritation for children and teens with sensitive skin or allergies.
- Medium firm support for growing bodies: The open coil springs distribute weight evenly and support spinal alignment, with the 2.5cm memory foam layer adding a gentle contouring hug on top.
- Coil bounce matters less solo: Open coils transfer movement across the bed, but with one sleeper on a UK single there's no partner to disturb.
- A practical guest room choice: Two UK singles with a walkway between them make a spare room far more flexible than one larger bed, and single bedding is cheap and easy to find.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager moving up from a cot bed or outgrowing their current mattress, you sleep alone and want to keep floor space free in a compact room or loft conversion, or you're kitting out a spare room or a student's first flat where the frame is provided and the mattress isn't. Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night, or you'd like space for a partner to stay occasionally. The UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length; we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is the Bodyshape Vitality Bamboo single suitable for a bunk bed?
Probably, with one check first. The UK single's 90 x 190cm footprint is the standard for bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames. The mattress is 26cm deep, though, which is on the deeper side for a raised frame, so measure against your frame's maximum depth and guard rail height before buying, particularly on a top bunk.
What room size do I need for a single Bodyshape Vitality Bamboo?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves enough room to walk round the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a child's room competing with a desk and toy storage, the UK single's 90cm width is what keeps the rest of the room usable.
Is the Bodyshape Vitality Bamboo UK single good for a child or teenager?
It's a strong fit. The medium firm open coil springs give even support for a growing body, the bamboo cover's hypoallergenic finish helps with sensitive skin, and the 2.5cm memory foam layer adds gentle comfort without the deep sink-in feel some children find hard to move around on.
Is a UK single long enough for a tall teenager?
The UK single is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in, so most teenagers will have length to spare. If you're buying for someone already approaching six foot and still growing, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it's also 60cm wider and needs a much bigger room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Will two singles work better than one double in a guest room?
Often, yes. Two UK singles suit friends or siblings sharing, and can sit side by side for couples. Each one needs its own walkway, so measure carefully before committing to two.
