- Fits where other sizes will not: At 3ft wide (3ft x 6ft 3in), it slots into compact rooms, loft conversions and spare rooms where a UK double would dominate the floor.
- A grown-up mattress for a growing sleeper: The medium firm pocket spring build gives a teenager proper support through a growth spurt, rather than the basic foam often sold for children's beds.
- Modest space needs: We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which leaves room for a desk or wardrobe in most children's bedrooms.
- Guest rooms with two beds: A pair of UK singles gives a spare room genuine flexibility for visiting friends, siblings or grandchildren where one double could not.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are among the cheapest and most widely stocked bedding sizes in the UK.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for one sleeper and want a properly supportive pocket spring mattress rather than a budget child's option: a teenager moving up from a first bed, a student or single adult in a compact room, or a guest bed that gets regular use and deserves better than an afterthought.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night, or you share the bed even occasionally. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider, the same length, and needs a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

What are the dimensions of the Heritage 7000 in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK one-person size, so ordinary single fitted sheets and a single duvet (135 x 200cm) fit without any hunting for unusual bedding.
Will the UK single Heritage 7000 fit in a small bedroom?
Almost certainly. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, the smallest footprint of any adult mattress size, so it works in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow usable strip under the slope, and children's rooms where the bed competes with a desk and toy storage.
Is the Heritage 7000 in a UK single good for a child or teenager?
For older children and teenagers, yes: the pocket spring construction offers better long-term support than the basic mattresses often bought for kids' beds. The medium firm feel is a slight caution for very lightweight side sleepers, who may find it a little unyielding at the shoulder, so a softer surface could suit a smaller child better.
Can I use this single mattress on a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. The catch is depth: British Bed Company doesn't publish a depth for the Heritage 7000, and raised frames usually set a maximum so the guard rail stays effective. Check with the retailer before ordering for a bunk.
Should I buy the UK single or the UK double for a spare room?
It depends on who visits. Two UK singles suit grandchildren, siblings or friends who wouldn't share a bed, and each needs only modest floor space. If your guests are mostly couples, one UK double is the simpler choice: it's 45cm wider than the UK single, the same length, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
