- Fits where other sizes won't: At 90cm wide it slots into a child's room alongside a wardrobe and desk, and we suggest as little as 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space.
- A gentle feel for growing sleepers: The supportive but soft surface offers pressure relief for lighter bodies, which means children and teens won't feel perched on a hard slab.
- Cotton cover for warm rooms: The cotton in the chenille cover helps the surface breathe, useful in small bedrooms and loft spaces that hold heat in summer.
- Guest ready in a dual-purpose room: A spare room that doubles as an office keeps its working space, and single bedding is the cheapest and easiest to keep on hand.
- Room for two singles: Where siblings share, a pair of UK singles plus a walkway can fit in a room that a double would dominate.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's or teenager's room where the bed shares floor space with storage and a desk, you sleep alone and want a gentle, pressure-relieving feel rather than a firm one, or you're furnishing a spare room that has to keep working as an office between visits.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who has grown used to more width, or you share the bed even occasionally. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and needs at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space.

Is a UK single Cotton Pocket 1200 big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes, it's the standard British one-person size at 90 x 190cm. Solo sleepers who spread out or are used to sharing may find it narrow, though. The UK small double is 30cm wider and the same length, so it's the natural step up if your room allows at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
Will the single Cotton Pocket 1200 suit a child's bedroom?
It's a sensible fit. The 90cm width leaves floor space for a wardrobe, desk and toy storage, and we suggest a minimum room of 2.1m x 2.8m. The soft, pressure-relieving feel suits lighter bodies, and the cotton in the cover helps the surface stay cooler in a small, warm room.
What room size do I need for a single Cotton Pocket 1200?
Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That's our own guidance rather than the manufacturer's, and it assumes you want to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or doors without squeezing past. In a loft conversion, position the 90cm-wide side under the slope and keep the walkway on the full-height side.
Can I fit two of these singles in a guest room?
Often, yes. Two UK singles side by side need 180cm of width plus a walkway between or beside them, so a modest guest room can sleep two visitors who'd rather not share. Each takes standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet, which makes spare bedding cheap to keep in the cupboard.
Does the single Cotton Pocket 1200 have 1,200 springs?
The 1,200 figure is quoted for the king size, and the brand doesn't publish a separate count for the UK single. A smaller surface typically carries fewer springs at the same density, so treat the name as a guide to the construction rather than an exact count for this size.
