Layer Details
- Cover. A wool-blend cover woven in-house, fire retardant without chemical treatments. That means natural flame resistance rather than sprayed-on chemistry.
- Fillings. Responsibly sourced, fully traceable British wool, hemp and flax grown on the Harrison Spinks farm, alongside soft, breathable cotton. Natural fibres like these help regulate temperature, which matters if you tend to sleep warm.
- Micro springs. A layer of 2,500 high-density micro springs, which means the surface can contour to your shoulders and hips even though the overall feel is firm. It's cushioning without softness, in effect.
- Pocket springs. The award-winning Advanced Cortec pocket spring system uses a spring-within-a-spring design for dynamic support. In practice, the mattress responds differently to lighter and heavier pressure, adapting as you move.

- A small footprint with grown-up construction: At 90cm wide, this single leaves room for a desk or wardrobe while still giving you wool, hemp and flax fillings rather than budget foam.
- Firm support for growing sleepers: The firm feel gives teenagers and heavier solo sleepers a properly solid surface, which means less sagging over the years a child's bed has to last.
- Micro springs soften the edges of firm: A layer of 2,500 micro springs contours to shoulders and hips, so a lighter sleeper still gets surface cushioning on an otherwise solid mattress.
- Natural fibres in a child's room: The wool-blend cover is fire retardant without chemical treatments, which means fewer synthetics next to the skin of whoever sleeps here.
- Guest-room friendly proportions: Two UK singles plus a walkway fit where one larger bed dominates, making this a practical choice for a guest room hosting more than one visitor.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for one sleeper and want natural materials to last: a teenager who has outgrown a children's mattress, a solo adult in a compact room or first flat where the frame came with the tenancy, or a spare room that doubles as an office and needs the floor space a 90cm width leaves free.
Consider another size if...
Two of you will ever share it, or a solo sleeper wants space to spread out. This mattress skips the UK double entirely, so we'd recommend the UK small double instead: 30cm wider, the same length, with a suggested room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

Will the Harrison Spinks Pure Splendour Firm UK single fit a bunk or mid sleeper?
Be careful here. At 29cm deep, it's noticeably thicker than the mattresses most bunk and cabin frames are designed around, and on a top bunk it could raise the sleeper above the safety rail. Measure from the base to the top of the rail and check the frame maker's maximum depth before buying.
Is the Pure Splendour Firm in a UK single suitable for a child?
For older children and teenagers, yes: the firm pocket spring support suits growing bodies, and the micro spring layer adds surface cushioning for lighter frames. The natural wool, hemp and flax fillings, with a cover that's fire retardant without chemical treatments, are a reassuring choice for a child's room. Very light sleepers may still find it a little solid.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. At 90cm wide, the UK single is the easiest size to place: it works under a loft slope, alongside a desk and toy storage in a child's room, or as one of a pair in a guest room with a walkway between.
How much bigger is the UK small double than the UK single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are the same length. That's a meaningful upgrade for a solo teenager or adult who wants sprawling room, though you'll need a suggested minimum of 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space rather than 2.1m x 2.8m.
What are the dimensions of the Pure Splendour Firm UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in, the standard UK one-person size, with a depth of 29cm. Standard single sheets and a single duvet fit, although the depth means you may want deep fitted sheets. Prices for this size are shown live on this page and updated as retailers change them.
