Layer Details
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted finish that adds cosiness and warmth. It also helps airflow and breathability, which means a slightly cooler night's sleep.
- Soft White Fibres. Soft synthetic polyester fillings that create a cosy top feel. They're durable and resilient, holding their shape and quality over time.
- Traditional Open Coil Springs. Interlaced springs joined together in a lattice design, which means your weight is distributed evenly across the mattress. This relieves built-up pressure and supports spinal alignment.

- Fits a compact room: At 90cm wide, it leaves space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom rather than swallowing the floor.
- Firm support for growing sleepers: The interlaced open coil springs spread weight evenly, which means a stable, medium firm surface rather than a sink-in feel, sensible for children and teens.
- Easy to flip at this size: It's reversible, and a UK single is light enough for one person to turn without help, so extending its life takes minutes.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked and lowest priced of any UK size, handy for kids' rooms that need frequent changes.
- A practical guest room choice: Owners note good edge support across verified reviews, so occasional guests get a stable surface, and two UK singles can serve where one bigger bed won't fit.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a child's or teenager's room and want firmer support without a big spend, you need a guest bed for a spare room that doubles as an office, or you're kitting out a student room or first flat where the frame is a standard UK single and only the mattress is missing.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult sleeping in it every night and find 90cm of width restrictive. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and needs a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

How much room does a UK single Bodyshape Vitality need?
The mattress itself is 90 x 190cm, and we suggest a floor space of at least 2.1m x 2.8m so there's a walkway and space for a wardrobe door to open. That makes it a workable fit for box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint, and children's bedrooms already busy with furniture.
Is the Bodyshape Vitality UK single suitable for a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
Bunk and mid sleeper frames take standard UK single mattresses, so the 90 x 190cm footprint fits. The one thing to check is depth: this mattress is 24cm deep, and raised frames usually set a maximum height so the guard rail still does its job. Check your frame's limit before buying.
Is the UK single Bodyshape Vitality a good guest room mattress?
Yes, and this is where it makes most sense. Occasional use softens the value equation on a budget mattress, the medium firm open coil feel suits a wide range of visitors, and a UK single leaves room for a desk in a spare room that doubles as an office.

Can I fit two Bodyshape Vitality UK singles in a shared kids' room?
Often, yes. Each mattress is 90cm wide, so two beds plus a walkway between them is realistic in a reasonable sized children's room, and the slightly firmer open coil support suits growing sleepers. Being reversible helps too, as flipping a UK single is a quick job even with two beds to manage.
Should I buy the UK single or the UK small double?
For a child, a teenager or a room under our suggested 2.1m x 2.8m minimum, the UK single is the sensible pick. If an adult will sleep on it nightly, the UK small double gives 30cm more width at the same length, provided the room offers at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
