Layer Details
- A one-person size with grown-up support: The firm feel holds back and stomach sleepers level, so a solo adult gets proper support without paying for width they don't use.
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide, it leaves floor space free in box rooms, loft conversions and student flats where a bigger bed simply wouldn't go.
- Suits a spare room that earns two uses: A single bed along one wall keeps a home office usable by day while still giving overnight guests a supportive, stable surface.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and affordable bedding of any UK size.
- A long-term buy for a teenager: A firm pocket spring single is the sort of mattress a teen won't outgrow in feel, although lighter side sleepers may find it a little unyielding.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone in a compact bedroom and want a supportive firm mattress at the standard one-person size, you're buying for a teenager who needs a bed that will last into adulthood, or your spare room doubles as an office and a single keeps the desk usable while still sleeping guests properly.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed, or you're a restless solo sleeper who wants space to spread out. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider and the same length, and we suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is a UK single Hypnos Wool Origins 6 big enough for an adult?
Yes, for one person. The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in, the standard one-person size in the UK. It suits solo adults comfortably, although taller sleepers should note the UK king and UK super king are 10cm longer, and restless sleepers may prefer the extra width of the UK double.
What size room do I need for a single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That's our own guidance rather than the manufacturer's, and it leaves enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a loft conversion, a single's narrow 90cm footprint often fits under the slope where wider sizes can't.
Is the Hypnos Wool Origins 6 Firm suitable for a child's single bed?
With caution. The single is the standard children's size, and a supportive mattress is a sensible long-term buy for a growing teen. That said, this is a firm feel, and lighter children who sleep on their side may find it too unyielding at the shoulders and hips. For younger kids, a softer mattress usually suits better.
Should I get the UK single or the UK double in this mattress?
It comes down to space and how you sleep. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and both are the same length, so the double buys you width rather than legroom. If you spread out or ever share the bed, take the double and allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.
What bedding fits the UK single size?
Standard UK single bedding: fitted sheets sized for 90 x 190cm and a single duvet at 135 x 200cm. Single bedding is the cheapest and most widely stocked of any size, which slightly softens the running costs of what is a premium mattress purchase.
