Layer Details
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide, it leaves floor space free for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's room, so the bed isn't the whole room.
- Contract-ready in the standard rental size: The Crib 5 rating in a UK single suits landlords and student accommodation, where this is the size most frames are built for.
- Full adult length: At 190cm long, it's the same length as the UK small double and UK double, so a growing teenager won't outgrow it quickly.
- Two can fit where one double won't: In a shared siblings' room or a twin guest room, two UK singles plus a walkway often work where a bigger bed wouldn't.
- Cheapest bedding to run: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked of any size, which keeps replacement costs down for rentals and spare rooms.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a child's or teenager's room where the bed has to share space with a desk and storage, you're a landlord or parent kitting out a student room where the contract fire rating matters, or you have a spare room that doubles as an office and need a bed that doesn't dominate it.
Consider another size if...
You're a solo adult with the room to spread out, since 90cm is snug for restless sleepers. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider, the same length, and needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.

Will the Highgrove Stafford Crib 5 fit a standard UK single bed frame?
Yes. In this size it measures 90 x 190cm, which is the standard UK single footprint, so it should sit correctly in any frame sold as a UK single. If your frame came from a rental or student let, measure the base first, as some older or European frames run slightly longer or narrower.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which leaves enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers. That guidance is ours rather than Highgrove's. In practice this size fits under loft slopes and alongside desks where larger sizes simply wouldn't go.
Is the UK single Highgrove Stafford suitable for a bunk or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches most UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. The sticking point is depth: raised frames usually set a maximum mattress height for the guard rail to work, and Highgrove doesn't publish full construction details for this mattress, so check the depth on the retailer listing against your frame's limit before buying.
How much bigger is a UK small double than this UK single?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single, and the two are exactly the same length at 190cm. That extra width helps a solo adult who feels hemmed in, though we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for the UK small double, so measure your room before sizing up.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For one person, yes. At 90cm wide and 190cm long it's the standard UK one-person size, and it works well for single adults in student rooms, first flats and guest rooms. It's snug if you move around a lot at night, and it's never suitable for two adults sharing regularly.
