- A grown-up mattress in the smallest standard size: Most singles are budget buys, so a Hypnos pocket sprung single suits a solo adult who wants proper support without moving up a size.
- Leaves room to live around it: At 90cm wide, the bed keeps floor space free in a teenager's room where a desk and wardrobe are competing for the same walls.
- Suits a spare room that also works as an office: A single along one wall leaves space for a desk, and the medium firm tension means occasional guests get support rather than a saggy spare bed.
- Built for the frames singles usually sit on: It's designed for bedstead bases, which means it pairs naturally with the slatted single frames found in most children's rooms and rentals.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and they're the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're a solo adult sleeper who wants a durable, supportive mattress and only needs a one-person bed, you're furnishing a teenager's room and would rather buy once than replace a cheap single in a few years, or you have a spare room that doubles as a study and want guests to sleep well in the space a single leaves free.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, even occasionally, or you simply feel cramped at 90cm wide. 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.

Is a UK single big enough for an adult on this Hypnos mattress?
For one adult, yes. At 90 x 190cm you get the full width to yourself, and the medium firm pocket springs support an adult's weight properly, which cheaper singles often don't. Taller sleepers should note the 190cm length: if you're over six foot, the UK king at 10cm longer may be more comfortable.
Will the Hypnos Luxury Wool Bedstead single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The width matches standard UK single frames, including bunks and mid sleepers. Raised frames often set a maximum mattress depth for the safety rail, though, and Hypnos doesn't publish a depth figure on the retailer listing, so check the frame's guidance and the brand's own specification before buying.
Is this too expensive a mattress for a child's room?
It costs more than a typical children's single, but a medium firm pocket sprung mattress from a long-established maker can carry a child through their teens rather than needing replacement. If the room is genuinely tight, the single's 90cm width leaves space for toy storage or a desk that a bigger bed wouldn't.
What room size do I need for a single bed?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which makes it a realistic fit for box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow usable footprint, and spare rooms already holding a desk. It's also the only standard size that lets you fit two beds plus a walkway in a shared children's room.
How much smaller is the UK single than the UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length at 190cm. That extra width is why couples outgrow singles quickly, but for one sleeper the single frees up meaningful floor space. Compare the retailers listed on this page for current single pricing.
