Layer Details
Cover
A knitted, breathable cover, which means air can move through the surface rather than getting trapped. It helps keep you at an even temperature through the night.
Natural Silk Layer
Silk is soft and lightweight, adding a gentle, comfortable feel at the surface. It's a filling more commonly found in premium mattresses.
Cashmere
A rare filling that's softer and finer than wool. Its presence is usually a sign of a quality build.
Authentic Traceable British Wool
Wool from British Cheviot sheep, 100% traceable from farm to shop. It adds a natural bounce and helps regulate temperature, which is good news for warm sleepers.
Support System
2,000 pocket springs, each sewn into its own fabric pocket so they move completely independently. That means better pressure relief and less disturbance from a partner shifting in the night.

- A narrow footprint for tight rooms: At 3ft wide (90cm), it leaves floor space free in a child's room where the bed competes with a desk, wardrobe and toy storage.
- Grown-up materials in a child's size: Silk, cashmere and British wool usually appear in adult sizes at higher prices, so a teenager gets the same natural build a UK king buyer would.
- Breathable for a small, warm room: Wool and silk let air move through the surface, which helps in compact bedrooms and loft conversions that hold heat.
- Guest-room ready: A medium tension suits the widest range of visitors, which matters when you can't predict who'll sleep on a spare bed next.
- Full support at single width: The pocket springs move independently, so a solo sleeper gets shaping and pressure relief across the whole 90cm rather than a firmer, cheaper spring unit scaled down.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want natural fillings rather than foam, you sleep alone in a compact room or first flat and a standard divan or bedstead is waiting for a 90 x 190cm mattress, or you're kitting out a spare room where one comfortable single leaves space for a desk as well.
Consider another size if...
You're a single adult who spreads out in the night, or you share even occasionally. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double at the same length, so we'd recommend the UK double of this mattress instead.

Will the Highgrove Somerset 2000 single fit a bunk bed?
We'd advise against it. At 34cm deep, this mattress will sit well above the safety rail line on most bunk, cabin and mid-sleeper frames, which typically expect a much shallower mattress. The 90 x 190cm footprint matches the frame, but the depth is the problem. Check your frame's maximum mattress depth before considering it.
Is the Somerset 2000 in a UK single a good choice for a child's room?
For the footprint, yes: at 90cm wide it's the standard children's size and leaves room for storage and a desk. The natural fillings are hypoallergenic and the medium tension suits growing sleepers. Two cautions: the 34cm depth makes it heavy for a child's room to manage, and standard single fitted sheets may not stretch to it.
How much space does a UK single need in the bedroom?
The mattress itself is 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space so you can walk round the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. That makes the UK single workable in box rooms, lofts with a narrow flat section and spare rooms doubling as an office.
Could two Somerset 2000 singles work in a shared or guest room?
Yes, and it's often more flexible than one bigger bed. Two UK singles side by side with a walkway suit siblings sharing, or a guest room that needs to sleep two people who aren't a couple. Each sleeper gets the full pocket spring support, and you can separate the beds whenever the room changes purpose.
Is the UK single big enough for an adult on this mattress?
It works for one average-built adult who sleeps fairly still; the medium tension and 2,000 springs don't change with size. The limit is width. If you turn a lot or like to spread out, the UK small double is 30cm wider at the same 190cm length and would suit you better.
