Layer Details
- Fits compact rooms: At 3ft wide, this UK single leaves floor room for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a child's bedroom that has to do several jobs at once.
- A firm base for growing sleepers: The firmer feel gives children and teens a supportive, level surface, which many parents prefer to something soft they can sink into.
- Works in a spare room that earns two uses: A single along one wall keeps a study usable as an office during the day and a guest bed at night.
- Pocket springs, sized for one: Each spring compresses on its own, so a solo sleeper's hips get deeper support while lighter areas stay held, with no wasted width.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and 135 x 200cm duvets are the most widely stocked bedding in the UK, so replacing linen for this size costs the least.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want a firm, supportive surface they won't outgrow quickly, you're furnishing a spare room or study that doubles as guest space, or you sleep alone in a compact room, perhaps a first flat or a loft conversion where only a narrow footprint fits under the slope, and you prefer a firmer feel.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night and finds 3ft of width restrictive. The UK small double gives you 30cm more width at the same length; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.

What size is the Harrison Spinks Silver 6500 in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in. It's the standard one-person size in the UK, so it fits ordinary single frames, and standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit without adjustment.
How much room do I need for the Silver 6500 in a UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves enough room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In practice the UK single is the easiest size to place, which is why it suits box rooms, lofts and shared children's bedrooms.
Should I choose the UK single or the UK small double Silver 6500?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and both are the same length. For a child or a compact spare room, the single usually makes better use of the space. An adult sleeping alone every night may find the extra width of the small double more comfortable; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Is a firm single mattress right for a child or teenager?
Often, yes. The firmer feel of this Silver 6500 gives a flat, supportive surface, and the pocket springs still adjust to lighter bodies because each spring compresses on its own. Lightweight side sleepers are the exception; they can feel pressure at the shoulder and hip on a firm mattress, so consider how your child sleeps.
