Layer Details
- Fits where bigger beds won't: At 90cm wide it leaves room for a wardrobe, a desk or toy storage in a compact bedroom, which is where most singles end up.
- Full spring count, smallest footprint: The 2,000 pocket springs aren't scaled back for the UK single, so a solo sleeper gets the same precise contouring along the spine.
- Grows with a child: At 190cm long it's the same length as a UK double, so a teenager won't outgrow it the way they would a shorter children's bed.
- Cooling yarn for stuffy small rooms: Box rooms and loft spaces heat up quickly, and the cooling finish in the cover helps a warm sleeper in exactly those conditions.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit, and they're the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's room and want a mattress they won't need replacing at fourteen, you sleep alone and your bedroom can't comfortably take anything wider than 90cm, or you're furnishing a spare room that doubles as an office and needs the floor space back during the day.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed regularly, or you simply sprawl and keep waking at the edge. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

What size is the Cool Pocket 2000 UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in, the standard UK one-person size. Length is the same as a UK small double and a UK double, so you're only giving up width, and standard single bedding fits without any hunting around.
How much floor space does a UK single mattress need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m. That gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a genuinely tight box room or under a loft slope, the 90cm width is what makes this size workable where a UK small double wouldn't be.
Will the Cool Pocket 2000 UK single fit a bunk or mid-sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid-sleeper frames, so width and length are fine. Raised frames often have a maximum mattress depth for the safety rail to work, so check your frame's guidance and the brand's listed depth before ordering.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes, though at 90cm wide it suits people who sleep fairly still. If you spread out or share even occasionally, the UK single will feel tight; the UK double is 45cm wider and the same length, which is a big difference in practice.
Is the UK single Cool Pocket 2000 a good choice for a child?
It's a sensible one. The size is the UK standard for children's rooms, and because it's 190cm long a child won't outgrow it through their teens. One caution: no firmness rating is published, so if your child is very light and needs a softer feel, you're buying slightly blind.
