Key benefits
- Fits where bigger beds can't: At 90cm wide, it leaves room for a wardrobe, desk and toy storage in a child's bedroom that a double would swallow.
- Works for two guest beds: The narrow footprint means a spare room can take two UK singles with a walkway between, handy when guests would rather not share.
- Budget price suits a budget purpose: As one of the cheaper mattresses around, it's a low-risk buy for a guest bed or a student room where the frame is provided.
- Simple sprung build: A foam comfort layer sits over open coil Bonnell springs, a traditional construction rather than anything fancy, which is what most people expect at this price.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are the cheapest and most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager's room, kitting out a spare room or study that doubles as guest space, or you sleep alone and want to keep both cost and footprint down. It also suits a first flat or student room where you've inherited a single frame and just need something affordable to put on it.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out at night, or you share the bed even occasionally, as 90cm is snug for one and impossible for two. 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.

FAQ's
Is the Ikea Hamarvik UK single a good choice for a child's bedroom?
Its footprint is, yes. The UK single is the default size for children's beds in the UK, and at 90 x 190cm it leaves floor space for storage and a desk in a compact room. The Hamarvik's budget price also suits a bed a child will outgrow. Check the feel with your child in store first, since Ikea publishes limited detail on how it sleeps.
Will the Hamarvik UK 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 have a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail still does its job, and Ikea's own listing is the place to confirm the Hamarvik's depth before you buy.
How much space do I need for the Hamarvik in a UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which gives you room to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. That's our guidance rather than Ikea's. A UK single is the easiest size to place in a loft conversion or box room, and two will fit in most spare rooms.
How much smaller is the single Hamarvik than the double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length at 190cm. That extra width is the difference between a bed for one and a bed a couple can share, so if the room allows, sizing up is usually the better long-term buy for an adult.
Is a UK single Hamarvik big enough for an adult?
For most single adults, yes, though 90cm is the minimum comfortable width rather than a generous one. If you're tall, broad or a restless sleeper, the UK small double is 30cm wider and the same length, and we suggest allowing at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.
