Layer Details
- Cover. A soft, microquilted Coolmax® stretch fabric cover designed to help regulate body temperature. In practice, that means heat and moisture are drawn away from you rather than trapped at the surface.
- Fillings. Hypoallergenic fillings sit beneath the cover. These are a helpful choice if dust or allergens tend to disturb your sleep.
- Spring construction. Traditional coil spring construction provides support, with reinforced edges to minimise roll off. You should feel a uniform, springy support across the whole surface, including near the sides.

- Fits where space is tight: At 3ft wide, this single leaves room for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a child's bedroom or a loft room with a narrow footprint.
- A depth that suits raised frames: The 24cm profile is worth checking against a bunk or mid sleeper's guard rail, but it's shallower than many hybrids and often within the limit.
- Flippable for growing sleepers: It's two-sided, so you can turn it to spread the wear, useful on a bed a child will use for years.
- Firm support in a spare room: Extra firm coil support holds up well for occasional guests, and the reinforced edges mean nobody feels close to rolling off a 90cm-wide surface.
- Cooler cover for warm sleepers: The Coolmax® stretch fabric draws heat and moisture away, which matters in a small bedroom that warms up quickly overnight.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's or teenager's room where the bed shares space with storage and a desk, you're setting up a spare room or study that hosts guests a few nights a year, or you're a solo adult in a compact room who genuinely prefers an extra firm feel. It also suits two singles in a shared siblings' room, provided you keep a walkway between them.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult sleeping alone every night and 90cm feels restrictive, especially if you move around in your sleep. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, which gives you 30cm more width for stretching out.

Will the Highgrove Dream Coil single fit a bunk bed?
The footprint, 90 x 190cm, matches standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. The point to check is depth: this mattress is 24cm deep, and safety guidance says a guard rail should sit well above the mattress surface. Measure your frame's maximum mattress depth before buying, particularly on the top bunk. Being flippable is handy here, as turning is easier than rotating in a tight frame.
What room size do you need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. That makes the UK single a comfortable fit in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow usable strip under the slope, and children's rooms where the bed competes with toys and a desk.
Is the Highgrove Dream Coil single a good choice for a child?
The size is right: the UK single is the standard for children's and teenagers' beds. The feel needs more thought. This is an extra firm mattress, and lightweight side sleepers can find that surface presses on shoulders and hips. Many children sleep happily on firm beds, but if your child is slight and sleeps on their side, consider a softer model.
How much smaller is the UK single than the UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, with both sharing the same 190cm length. That 30cm is the difference between a bed for one and a slightly roomier solo bed, and it matters in shared siblings' rooms, where two UK singles plus a walkway will fit in spaces a larger bed simply won't.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Dream Coil in a UK single?
Compare the retailers listed on this page. The prices shown are updated as retailers change them, so what you see reflects current stock rather than a snapshot. It's a modestly priced mattress across the range, and the UK single is the smallest and typically cheapest size, sensible if you're furnishing a student room or first flat where the frame is provided.
