Layer Details
- Fits where bigger beds can't: At 90cm wide it leaves floor space for a wardrobe, desk and toy storage in a child's room, which larger sizes simply don't.
- Works for two-bed setups: Siblings sharing a room, or a guest room deliberately set up with two beds, can fit a pair of UK singles with a walkway between.
- Standard frame compatibility: The 90 x 190cm footprint matches UK single bed frames, divans, bunks and mid sleepers, so a frame you already own should take it without fuss.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and a standard 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and affordable bedding of any UK size.
- Contract-grade fire rating: Crib 5 is a stricter fire safety standard than domestic mattresses require, which is why this model appears in student accommodation and rental settings.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's or teenager's room, kitting out a student let or rental where a Crib 5 fire rating is required, or furnishing a spare room that doubles as an office and only hosts guests occasionally. It also suits a loft conversion or box room where a 90cm-wide footprint is the only one that fits.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sleeps starfished, or the room can comfortably take something wider. We'd recommend the UK small double of this mattress instead, which gives you 30cm more width for solo sleeping.

What size is the Highgrove Kingston Crib 5 in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. It's the standard one-person mattress size in the UK, so it fits ordinary single bed frames, divan bases, bunks and mid sleepers designed to that footprint.
Will the UK single Kingston Crib 5 fit a bunk or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid-sleeper frames. The one thing to check is depth: raised frames need the mattress to sit below the guard rail line, and Highgrove doesn't publish a depth for this model, so measure against your frame's maximum before buying.
How much room do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves enough clearance to walk around the bed and open a wardrobe, and it's why the UK single remains the default choice for box rooms, lofts with sloped ceilings and children's bedrooms full of other furniture.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For most single adults, yes, particularly in a guest room or first flat where it's used regularly rather than nightly. If you move around a lot in your sleep or simply want more space, the UK small double of this mattress is 30cm wider and worth considering.
Can I fit two UK singles in one room for sharing siblings?
Usually, yes. Each mattress is 90cm wide, so two beds plus a walkway between them fits in most standard children's rooms. Measure your room against two 90 x 190cm footprints with clearance between, and the prices shown on this page are updated as retailers change them.
