Layer Details
Solotex
A soft Solotex layer sits at the top and base of the mattress. It gives you a smooth surface to lie on, with the firmer feel coming from the layers and springs beneath.
British wool
Layers of British wool from Red Tractor assured farms. It's a natural filling, which means a cosy, breathable layer that suits you if you tend to sleep warm.
Cotton
Two layers of responsibly sourced cotton sit in the filling. They add natural cushioning over the springs without making the mattress feel plush.
eOlus fibre
An adaptive eOlus fibre layer that moulds to the body around the pocket spring core. It adds a little give where you press into the mattress, while the springs keep the overall feel firm.

Key benefits
- A compact footprint for busy rooms: At 90cm wide, it leaves usable floor space in a child's room or a loft conversion where the bed has to share the walls with everything else.
- Firm support for one sleeper: The 1,200 pocket springs compress individually, which means a solo back or front sleeper gets resistance where their weight actually falls rather than a uniform push.
- Suits a spare room that earns two uses: A single keeps a study usable as an office during the week and ready for a guest at the weekend, with the firm tension pleasing most adult visitors.
- Natural fillings that breathe: The natural materials help air move through the mattress, which matters for teenagers who run warm at night.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and affordable of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for one sleeper, a child, a teenager or a single adult, who sleeps mostly on their back or front and wants a properly firm feel. It also fits if you're kitting out a guest room or a spare room that doubles as an office, or if the bedroom is compact enough that a wider mattress would swallow the floor space.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, even occasionally, or you simply want more room to stretch out. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

FAQ's
What are the dimensions of the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK single, so it fits standard single bed frames, single fitted sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet without any hunting for unusual sizes.
What room size do I need for a single Hypnos Orthos Support 8?
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, that spare width is often the difference between fitting a desk in and not.
Is the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 UK single a good choice for a teenager?
It can be, with one caveat. The firm tension suits back and front sleepers well, but a lightweight teenager who sleeps on their side may find it a little unforgiving on the shoulder and hip. If that describes your teen, a softer mattress may serve them better.
Will this single fit a bunk, cabin or mid sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. Raised frames often have a maximum mattress depth for safety rails, though, and depth varies by frame, so check your frame's limit against the mattress specifications before buying.
Should I choose the UK single or UK small double for a guest room?
If the room hosts one guest at a time and space is tight, the UK single is the practical pick. The UK small double is 30cm wider and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it, so choose it only if the room allows.
