Layer Details
Damask Cover
A breathable Belgian damask fabric cover. It lets air move through the sleep surface, which helps you stay cooler through the night.
Natural Silk Layer
A soft, lightweight natural silk layer sitting near the surface. It adds a gentle, comfortable feel over the firmer materials below.
Authentic Traceable British Wool
Wool from British Cheviot sheep, traceable from farm to shop, chosen for a fleece that's strong yet soft. It provides a natural bounce and helps regulate your temperature, so you're less likely to overheat.
Cashmere
A rare filling that's softer and finer than wool, typically reserved for higher quality mattresses. It adds a touch of surface softness to what is otherwise a firm mattress.
2000 Pocket Springs
Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket, which means they work independently and respond to your body's shape rather than moving as one unit. That gives better pressure relief and less motion transfer between partners.

- Firm support in a compact footprint: At 90cm wide it fits along one wall of a small room, which means a teenager still gets proper firm orthopaedic support without the bed dominating the space.
- Wool that suits warm little rooms: Traceable British Cheviot wool helps regulate temperature, useful in loft conversions and box rooms where a single is often the only size that fits and heat gathers.
- A grown-up guest bed: Cashmere and silk near the surface soften the firm feel slightly, so occasional guests in a spare room or study get more comfort than a typical budget single offers.
- Built to be used nightly: The 2000 pocket springs respond to one sleeper's shape rather than moving as a unit, so a student or single adult using this every night gets consistent pressure relief.
- Substantial depth, one caveat: At 33cm deep it feels generous on a standard frame or divan, although you should check guard rail heights before putting it on a bunk or mid sleeper.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a teenager or student who needs a firm, supportive bed that will cope with nightly use, you sleep alone and prefer a firm feel with natural fillings over foam, or you're setting up a spare room and want a single guests will actually compliment. It also suits a room where 90cm of width is all the floor plan allows.
Consider another size if...
You're a lightweight side sleeper, since the firm feel of the smallest size offers no extra give at the shoulder, or you'd like room to stretch out. For a solo adult with the space, we'd recommend the UK double instead.

What are the dimensions of the Highgrove Ashbourne Ortho 2000 in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in, and the mattress itself is 33cm deep. That's the standard UK one-person size, so it fits any standard single bed frame or divan. Check the frame's internal measurements if it's an older or European import model.
Will the UK single Ashbourne Ortho 2000 work on a bunk or mid sleeper?
The width and length fit standard bunk frames, but the depth is the issue. At 33cm this is a substantial mattress, and most bunk guard rails are designed for something shallower. Measure from the base to the top of the rail before buying; if the rail sits too low, this mattress isn't safe for a top bunk.
What room size do I need for a UK single Ashbourne Ortho 2000?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to walk alongside the bed and open a wardrobe, though in a child's room you'll also want to factor in a desk or toy storage. In a loft conversion, the 90cm width usually slots neatly under the slope.
Is the Ashbourne Ortho 2000 single a good mattress for a child or teenager?
For teenagers and heavier children who sleep on their back or front, yes: the firm pocket spring support and breathable wool suit growing bodies well. For younger, lighter children it may feel too unyielding, as there isn't much weight pressing into the softer cashmere and silk layers. A softer mattress would suit a small child better.
How much smaller is the UK single than the double in this mattress?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and both share the same 190cm length. The construction is identical across sizes, so you're choosing on space alone: the UK single suits one sleeper in a compact room, while the UK double gives a solo adult far more room to spread out.
