Ikea Hyllestad Pocket Sprung Single Mattress
The Ikea Hyllestad is a pocket sprung mattress, which means each spring moves independently, so you're less likely to feel your partner shifting about in the night.
- Minimises partner disturbance
- Support that follows your shape
- Memory foam top for added comfort

Key benefits
- A footprint that leaves room to live: At 90cm wide, it fits alongside a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom without swallowing the floor.
- Pocket springs sized for one: Each spring is sewn into its own pocket and responds separately, which means support that follows one sleeper's shape rather than pushing back as a single unit.
- A memory foam top layer: The comfort layer sits above the springs, which means a little contouring at the surface before the springs take over underneath.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
- Spare rooms and first flats: A sensible fit where a frame is already provided, or where a study doubles as guest space and the bed can't dominate.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and the bed has to share the room with a desk and storage, you're kitting out a spare room or study that occasionally hosts guests, or you're a single adult in a compact room, perhaps a loft conversion where only a narrow footprint works under the slope. Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed, or you're a single adult who likes space to spread out. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

FAQ's
How big is the Ikea Hyllestad single mattress?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK one-person size, so it fits ordinary single bed frames, and standard single sheets and duvets fit without any hunting around for unusual bedding sizes.
What size room do I need for the Ikea Hyllestad UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a child's room competing with a desk and toy storage, the single's 90cm width is what keeps everything workable.
Is the Ikea Hyllestad UK single big enough for an adult?
Yes, for one adult. The UK single is the standard one-person size, and the pocket springs respond to your shape individually rather than as one unit. If you tend to sprawl, or the bed will ever be shared, the UK double gives you 45cm more width at the same length.
Is the Hyllestad single a good choice for a child's bedroom?
It's a reasonable one. Pocket springs and a memory foam comfort layer are a step up from the basic open coil mattresses often bought for children, and the 90cm width leaves floor space free. Ikea doesn't publish a verified firmness rating, though, so check the retailer's specification if that matters to you.
How does the Hyllestad UK single compare to the UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length. The single suits one sleeper in a compact room, while the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space on our guidance. The construction is identical across sizes, so you're choosing on space alone.
