Layer Details
- Cover. A Coolmax® stretch fabric cover with micro quilting, which means it helps regulate body temperature for cooler sleep while adding a softer feel to the surface. It takes the edge off the firm build underneath.
- Memory foam. A generous layer of body-cushioning memory foam. This is the layer you'll feel first, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Pocket springs. A spring unit with 1000 pocket springs in the king size, designed to offer superb support and help with postural alignment. Because each spring moves independently, you should feel less disturbance from a restless partner.

- Fits where other sizes won't: At 90cm wide the UK single leaves floor space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in rooms where a bigger bed would take over.
- Firm support for growing sleepers: The 1000 pocket spring unit sits beneath memory foam, which means a stable, supportive surface rather than the saggy feel cheap kids' mattresses develop.
- Sensible for guest rooms: A spare room doubling as an office keeps its working space with a single, and the firm feel suits occasional guests of most sleeping styles.
- Cooler than typical memory foam: The Coolmax® cover is designed to regulate temperature, useful in a small or loft room that warms up quickly in summer.
- Hypoallergenic fillings: A reassuring detail if you're buying for an allergy-prone child or teen who spends long hours in their bedroom.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's or teenager's room where the bed shares space with a desk and storage, you're setting up a guest room with one or two singles rather than a double, or you're a solo adult in a compact room who prefers a firm, supportive feel over a soft, sink-in one.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed, or you're an adult who spreads out and finds 90cm restrictive. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, so we'd recommend the UK double of this mattress instead.

Is the Highgrove Dream Memory UK single suitable for a bunk bed?
The UK single is the standard bunk and mid-sleeper size, so the footprint fits. The one thing to check is depth: this mattress is 24cm deep, and safety guidance for raised frames usually sets a maximum mattress height below the guard rail. Measure your frame's limit before buying, as many bunks are designed for shallower mattresses.
Will the Highgrove Dream Memory single fit a small bedroom?
Almost certainly. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which most box rooms, loft conversions and student rooms can manage. The 90cm width also works where two beds share one room, provided you keep a walkway between them.
Is the Highgrove Dream Memory in a UK single a good choice for a child?
It can be. The firm pocket sprung build gives steady support, and the hypoallergenic fillings suit children with allergies. The Coolmax® cover helps with warm summer nights too. It's a firm mattress though, so a very lightweight child who sleeps on their side may find it a little solid at the shoulder.
How much narrower is a UK single than a UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, at 90cm wide against 135cm. That's a meaningful difference for an adult who moves around at night. For a child, teen or occasional guest the UK single is usually plenty, and it keeps far more of the room free.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Dream Memory mattress in a UK single?
Compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so you're seeing live figures rather than a snapshot. Stock of individual sizes can shift, so if the UK single is what you need, it's worth checking back if it's temporarily unavailable.
