- Fits where other sizes can't: At 90cm wide it slots into compact rooms, and we suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space around it.
- Pocket spring support at a child-friendly size: Each spring moves independently, which means a growing sleeper gets contoured support rather than the trampoline feel of an open-coil budget single.
- A guest bed with grown-up quality: Hypnos sits at the traditional end of the market, so guests get a proper night's sleep rather than the usual spare-room compromise.
- Room left for everything else: In a child's bedroom the bed has to share space with a desk, wardrobe and toy storage, and a 3ft footprint leaves genuine floor free.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and a standard 135 x 200cm single duvet are the most widely stocked bedding in the UK, so replacements cost little.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want a mattress that will support them properly for years, you sleep alone and your room is on the small side, or you're kitting out a spare room or loft conversion where a narrow footprint is the only footprint that fits. It also suits a study that turns into a guest room a few nights a month.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, even occasionally, or you simply want space to spread out. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is the Hypnos Cotton Origins 8 UK single big enough for an adult?
Yes, for one adult sleeping alone. At 90 x 190cm it's the standard UK one-person size, and the pocket springs contour to a single sleeper well. If you're tall, note the 190cm length is 10cm shorter than a UK king, and if you share the bed, size up.
What room size do I need for a single Hypnos Cotton Origins 8?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In practice a UK single fits rooms that rule out every other size, which is why it's the default for children's rooms and loft conversions.
Will the UK single fit a bunk or mid-sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid-sleeper frames. The catch is depth: raised frames often set a maximum mattress height for their safety rails, and Hypnos publishes limited construction detail for this model, so confirm the depth with the retailer against your frame's limit before buying.
How much smaller is a UK single than a UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length at 190cm. That 45cm is the difference between a one-person bed and one a couple can share, but it's also the difference between fitting a small bedroom and overwhelming it.
Where can I buy the Hypnos Cotton Origins 8 in a UK single?
Compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so it's worth a quick check even if you've already seen it elsewhere.
