- Fits the smallest rooms: At 90cm wide it slots into box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint under the slope, and children's bedrooms already full of desks and toy storage.
- Pocket springs for one: Each spring compresses on its own, which means the surface responds to your weight where you lie rather than dipping across its whole width.
- A sensible children's and teens' choice: The UK single is the standard size for kids' beds, and a supportive pocket spring design can carry a child through to the teenage years.
- Two can fit where a double can't: For siblings sharing or a guest room set up with two beds, a pair of UK singles plus a walkway is often workable where one larger bed isn't.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and lowest priced bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for one sleeper, most likely a child, a teenager or a single adult in a compact room. It also fits if you're kitting out a spare room or study that occasionally hosts guests, or a student room or first flat where the frame came with the property but the mattress sensibly didn't.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night, or a couple, and 90cm of width will feel tight. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

What room size do I need for the Heritage 3000 in a UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which is our own guidance rather than the manufacturer's. That allows room to walk around the bed and open a wardrobe. In a child's room where the bed competes with a desk and storage, the UK single's 90cm width is what keeps everything workable.
Is the Heritage 3000 UK single suitable for a child or teenager?
The UK single is the standard UK children's size, and pocket springs give more responsive support than the basic open coil mattresses often sold for kids. One caveat: British Bed Company doesn't publish a firmness rating or spring count for this mattress, so if your child is very light, ask the brand how soft it feels before buying.
Will the Heritage 3000 single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. Depth is the thing to check: raised frames usually cap mattress height so the guard rail stays effective, and British Bed Company doesn't publish a depth for this mattress. Ask the brand for the measurement and compare it against your frame's stated maximum.
Should I buy the UK single or size up to the UK double?
For one adult with the room to spare, sizing up is tempting: the UK double is 45cm wider and the same length, though it needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m of space. For a child, a guest bed or a room under 2.6m wide, the UK single is the more sensible buy.
