Key benefits
- Room left for furniture: At 90cm wide, the UK single leaves space for a desk, toy storage or a wardrobe, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
- Two beds for guests: A pair of UK singles gives visitors a bed each, and because the mattress is turnable you can flip both between stays so they wear evenly.
- Firm feel for one sleeper: Solo back and front sleepers get a flat, firm pocket spring surface with cushioning on top, which suits anyone who dislikes sinking into a bed.
- Check raised frames first: At 28cm deep, measure the guard rail on any bunk, cabin or mid sleeper frame, because raised beds often set a maximum mattress depth.
- Simple bedding: Single sheets and duvets are easy to find in most shops, so dressing a spare bed or a child's bed takes little effort or hunting around.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a child's or teenager's room where the bed has to share floor space with a desk and storage, or a spare room that also works as a study, and the person sleeping on it is happy on a firm bed.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who likes room to spread out, or you sometimes share the bed. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: the UK single is 30cm narrower, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Will the UK single Spare Room Ortho Plus fit a bunk bed or cabin bed?
The UK single matches the standard 90 x 190cm footprint most bunk and cabin frames take, but the mattress is 28cm deep. Many raised frames list a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough above the sleeper, so check the frame maker's guidance before ordering.
What size room do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m for a UK single. The mattress itself is 90 x 190cm, which leaves enough floor for a desk or wardrobe in a small bedroom, and makes it a sensible fit for a box room or study.
Is a UK single mattress big enough for an adult?
For one adult of average height, the UK single at 90 x 190cm works well, particularly in a guest room. If you're tall, the UK single is 10cm shorter than the UK king, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king.
Two single mattresses or one double for a guest room?
Two UK singles let guests who aren't couples sleep apart, which suits friends or siblings. If most visitors are couples, a UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for a UK double.
Can a single mattress fit under a sloping loft conversion ceiling?
A UK single's narrow 90cm footprint is often the easiest size to tuck under a slope, leaving the full-height part of the room clear. Measure the headroom where you'll sit up, and remember this mattress is 28cm deep, which adds to the height of the bed frame.
