Key benefits
- Leaves room for everything else: We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which means a child's room can still fit a desk, a wardrobe and somewhere to play.
- More manageable to turn: You flip this mattress between its wool and cotton sides as the weather changes, and one sleeper's width is a little easier to handle than the larger sizes.
- Two beds for guests who don't share: A pair of UK singles in a guest room lets friends or grown-up siblings sleep apart, each choosing the side that suits the season.
- Foam-free for a child's first proper bed: There's no glue or foam inside, so if you'd rather a natural mattress in your child's room, the UK single is the usual size to start with.
- Fits under a sloping ceiling: In a loft conversion where only a narrow strip of floor has full headroom, the UK single's footprint is often the one that slots in.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager in a smaller bedroom, or you're furnishing a guest room or study where a bed shouldn't take over the floor. It also suits a student or first-flat renter who has a single frame already and needs a natural mattress to go on it.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sprawls and has a little more floor space to give. The UK small double would suit you better: it's 30cm wider at the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Will the Flaxby Hempstead UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
Possibly not. The mattress is 35cm deep, and raised frames such as bunks, cabin beds and mid sleepers usually set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to stop a child rolling out. Check the frame maker's limit before buying; on many raised beds a 35cm mattress will sit too high.
What room size do I need for a UK single Flaxby Hempstead?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m. That leaves space to walk round the bed and open a wardrobe, which is what makes a UK single practical in a box room or a child's bedroom with a desk against one wall. Two singles side by side with a walkway between them need more.
Is a UK single Flaxby Hempstead long enough for a tall adult?
It's 190cm long, the same length as the UK small double and UK double. If you're tall enough for your feet to reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it's also 60cm wider and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.
How much narrower is the Flaxby Hempstead UK single than the UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two people sharing, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of room for it, so it only makes sense if the floor space is there.
Will this mattress fit the single bed frame in a student room?
It will if the frame takes a standard 90 x 190cm UK single. Measure the base inside the frame, then check how far the sides rise, as a 35cm mattress sits noticeably higher than a basic one. Once it fits, compare the retailers listed on this page.
