Layer Details
Pressure-relieving memory foam
A memory foam layer designed to relieve pressure. It contours to your body, which should cushion your shoulders and hips.
Platinum 3D
A recyclable layer Dreams says has the feel of a million tiny springs. It gives the mattress a springy, responsive feel.
Open coil springs
Open coil springs that add bounce and airflow for lasting freshness. You get a lively feel and better air movement than all-foam builds.

Key benefits
- Space for everything else: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, the UK single leaves floor clear in a small bedroom, so a wardrobe and desk can sit alongside without the room feeling crammed.
- Two beds and a walkway: Its 90cm width means two UK singles can sit side by side in a shared children's room or guest room while leaving a path between them.
- Medium feel for growing bodies: Dreams rates it medium, which means a child or teen gets some cushioning at the shoulders and hips without sinking in too far.
- Springs that keep air moving: The open coil springs add airflow, which should help a UK single pushed against a wall feel a little less stuffy than an all-foam mattress.
- Straightforward bedding: Standard single sheets and a single duvet at 135 x 200cm fit the UK single, so kitting out a child's room or spare bed is simple.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, or you're buying for a child or teenager whose room has to fit storage and a desk as well as a bed. It also suits a spare room that works as a study most of the week, or a loft conversion where only a narrow bed fits under the slope.
Consider another size if...
Two people will share the bed, even occasionally, or a solo adult wants room to sprawl. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, which is 30cm wider; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Will the Dreams Workshop Richards Combination single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
It may, but check first. The mattress is 22cm deep, and bunks, cabin beds and mid sleepers often state a maximum mattress depth. Compare 22cm against the frame maker's own guidance before buying, and choose a different frame or mattress if the limit is lower.
What size is a UK single Richards Combination mattress in feet?
The UK single is 3ft x 6ft 3in, or 90 x 190cm. If you're replacing the mattress on an existing frame, measure the base inside the frame edges and make sure it matches those figures before you order.
How much bedroom space do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. In a child's room that also needs a wardrobe and desk, sketch where each piece will go and measure it out before you order.
Is a UK single Richards Combination long enough for a tall teenager?
At 190cm long, it suits most teenagers. If yours is already very tall, the UK king and UK super king are each 10cm longer than the UK single, although both are much wider. The UK small double and UK double are the same length as the UK single.
Can two people share a UK single mattress?
Not comfortably for regular use. A UK single is a one-person bed at 90cm wide. If two people share, the UK double gives 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it. For occasional guests, two UK singles side by side can be a more flexible choice.
