Key benefits
- Fits where other sizes won't: At 90cm wide, this size slots into box rooms, loft conversions with sloped ceilings and children's rooms already crowded with a wardrobe and desk.
- Two can fit in one room: Siblings sharing a bedroom can usually take two UK singles with a walkway between, something no larger size in this range allows.
- Contract spec suits hard-working rooms: The Crib 5 contract rating makes this a sensible pick for rental properties, student lets and spare rooms that see irregular use.
- Cheapest bedding of any size: Single sheets and a standard 135 x 200cm single duvet are the most widely stocked and least expensive bedding you can buy.
- Modest room requirement: We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which most UK bedrooms, including small ones, can manage comfortably.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a child's or teenager's room, kitting out a rental or student let where a contract-rated mattress is required, or setting up a spare room that doubles as an office and only hosts guests a few nights a year. The UK single also works well where two beds need to share one room, or where a loft slope leaves only a narrow footprint for the bed.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who moves around at night, or you share the bed, as 90cm is snug for one grown sleeper and unworkable for two. We'd recommend the UK small double for a roomier solo bed, or the UK double for couples.

FAQ's
Is a UK single the right size for a child's bedroom?
Usually, yes. The UK single is the standard size for children's beds in the UK, and at 90 x 190cm it leaves floor space free for toy storage, a wardrobe and a desk. Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space and the room will still feel usable rather than crammed.
Will the Highgrove Brighton single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid-sleeper frames. The caveat is depth: raised frames have a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays effective, and Highgrove doesn't publish a depth for this mattress. Check the figure with the retailer against your frame's limit before buying.
Is a single mattress big enough for adult guests?
For a few nights a year, yes. A UK single suits a spare room that doubles as an office, and two singles side by side give a guest room flexibility that one big bed can't. For a guest who visits often or a couple staying over, the UK double would be the better call.
How much narrower is a UK single than a double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and 30cm narrower than the UK small double. That's the trade-off in plain terms: you give up sleeping width to gain floor space, which is why the single remains the default for children's rooms and compact spaces.
Is this single suitable for a rental or student let?
It's a natural fit. The Crib 5 contract specification is the kind typically required in rental and guest accommodation, and the UK single is the standard size supplied in student rooms and first flats where the frame comes with the property.
