Layer Details
Stitchbond Cover
A hard-wearing polyester fabric with a quilted finish, which keeps costs down without feeling flimsy. The stitching attaches the outer fabric to the surface fillings, which means a flat, even sleeping surface rather than one that shifts about.
White Fibre Fillings
A lightweight, high-loft filling that's hypoallergenic and holds its shape well. You get a soft initial feel, and the fibres are designed to keep their comfort over time.
Open Coil Springs
Rows of hourglass-shaped springs joined at the top and bottom by a spiral helical wire, an interconnected system that's durable and gives a traditional bouncy feel. Because the springs are linked, movement does transfer across the bed more than it would with pocket springs.
Wire Edge Border
A thick wire runs around the perimeter of the spring unit, which means firmer edges and a longer-lasting mattress. It also helps you use the full width of the bed without the sides sagging.

Key benefits
- Fits raised frames: At 20cm deep, it sits below the guard rail height most bunk and mid-sleeper frames require, which many taller modern mattresses don't.
- Leaves room to live: A 90cm width keeps floor space free in a child's room, so the bed isn't fighting the wardrobe, desk and toy storage for space.
- Works as a pair: Two UK singles suit a shared siblings' room or a guest room set up as twin beds, with a walkway kept clear between them.
- Sensible for occasional use: In a spare room that doubles as an office, a budget open coil single covers a few guest nights a year without overspending.
- Light enough to manage: A single with fibre fillings is easy to rotate, flip onto a bunk or carry up to a loft room without a second pair of hands.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's room, filling a bunk or mid-sleeper frame that needs a shallower mattress, or setting up a spare room for the odd overnight guest. It also makes sense if your bedroom is small and a 90cm width is what keeps the room usable, or you want two matching beds in one shared room.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult sleeping in it every night and would like more room to stretch out. The UK small double, at 30cm wider, would suit you better for the same 190cm length.

FAQ's
Will the Highgrove Solar Comfort UK single fit a bunk bed?
It's a strong candidate. At 20cm deep, it sits lower than many modern mattresses, which matters on bunks, cabin beds and mid sleepers where the mattress must stay below the guard rail. Check your frame's stated maximum mattress depth before buying, but 20cm clears the limit on most raised frames.
Is the Highgrove Solar Comfort UK single good for a child?
Yes, with the usual caveats. The Medium feel and slightly bouncy open coil unit suit lighter bodies well, and the white fibre fillings are hypoallergenic. Children don't need the pressure relief heavier adults do, so the simple construction is a fair match. The wire edge border also helps the sides hold up to sitting and climbing.
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 round the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. At 90cm wide, the UK single is the easiest size to place, and it's the practical choice for box rooms, lofts with sloped ceilings and shared children's rooms.
How much narrower is a UK single than a 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 child or guest and a roomier solo bed for an adult. If the sleeper is a grown-up using it nightly, the extra width is usually worth having.
Can I use two Solar Comfort singles in a guest room?
Yes, and it's a sensible setup. Two UK singles at 90 x 190cm each give you a twin arrangement that suits guests who'd rather not share, and singles are cheap to dress because standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit each bed. Compare the retailers listed on this page for current prices.
