Layer Details
- A gentle feel for lighter bodies: Medium soft support suits the lighter weight of children and teens, who often find firmer mattresses unyielding, so the springs can actually respond to them.
- Fits where other sizes cannot: At 90cm wide, this size slots into box rooms, loft conversions and rooms where the bed shares space with a desk and wardrobe.
- Pocket springs at a single size: Each of the 1,000 springs moves independently, which means support that follows the sleeper's shape even across a narrower surface.
- A soft cover for a child's bed: The chenille and cotton blend feels plush and breathable, a small comfort that matters when a child sleeps close to the surface.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked of any UK size, so replacing bedding after spills or growth spurts stays inexpensive.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager who prefers a softer, more cushioned bed, you sleep alone and like sinking in rather than lying on top, or you're furnishing a spare room where the mattress will see occasional guest use. It also suits compact rooms where the bed has to share floor space with storage or a desk.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sleeps in the UK single every night and finds 90cm restricts how you move. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is a UK single Cotton Pocket 1000 suitable for a child's bedroom?
Yes, and it's arguably where this mattress makes most sense. The medium soft feel suits lighter bodies, the chenille and cotton cover is gentle against skin, and the 90 x 190cm footprint leaves floor space free in a room that also has to hold toys, a wardrobe and a desk.
Will the single Cotton Pocket 1000 work in a spare room used as an office?
It's a sensible fit. At 3ft wide it leaves room for a desk and chair alongside, and the medium soft, cushioned feel is a pleasant surprise for occasional guests. Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, and slightly more if the room needs a working area too.
How much space do I need around a UK single mattress?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. If two children share a room, that guidance applies per bed, plus a walkway between them.
Is this mattress firm enough for an adult using the single every night?
It depends how you sleep. Side sleepers and anyone who likes sinking into a bed should get on well with the medium soft feel. Adults who sleep on their front or back, or heavier sleepers worried about sinking too deeply, may find it a little too yielding for nightly use.
How does the single compare with the UK double for a growing teenager?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and both are the same length, so sizing up buys width rather than legroom. If the room can take it, we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double, the extra width gives a teenager space to grow into.
