Layer Details
- Fits where wider sizes won't: At 90cm wide, it leaves genuine floor space free, which matters when the bed shares a room with a desk and a wardrobe.
- Works for shared children's rooms: Two UK singles plus a walkway is a realistic layout for siblings sharing, where a single larger bed rarely is.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked of any UK size, so replacing bedding is quick and inexpensive.
- A sensible guest room choice: In a spare room that doubles as an office, a UK single keeps the desk usable rather than dominating the floor.
- Same length as a UK double: At 190cm long it matches the UK double and UK small double, so a taller teen isn't losing legroom by staying narrow.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager whose bedroom already has to fit a desk, toy storage and a wardrobe, you sleep alone and are happy with the standard one-person width, or you're furnishing a guest room or first flat where the frame is a UK single and the mattress is up to you.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult sleeper who finds 90cm of width restrictive, or a partner sometimes shares the bed. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider and exactly the same length.

What size is the Highgrove Canterbury Crib 5 in a UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK one-person size, so it fits standard single frames, and single bedding, including a 135 x 200cm duvet, fits without adjustment.
Will the UK single Highgrove Canterbury fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The footprint is right: bunk and mid-sleeper frames in the UK are built around 90 x 190cm. Raised frames often have a maximum mattress depth for safety rails, though, and Highgrove doesn't publish full specifications for this model, so confirm the depth with the retailer before ordering.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open a wardrobe. In a loft conversion, the narrow 90cm footprint also makes it easier to tuck the bed under a sloped ceiling.
How much smaller is the UK single than the UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and both are the same 190cm length. So you give up width, which suits solo sleepers, but a taller sleeper loses no legroom by choosing the UK single.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes, it's the standard solo size and suits most single sleepers. If you're broad-shouldered or move around a lot in the night, the UK small double gives you an extra 30cm of width at the same length, and this Highgrove model is available in that size too.
