Layer Details
- Fits compact rooms: At 3ft wide (90cm), it needs only around 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space by our guidance, leaving room for a desk or wardrobe.
- Wool suits smaller rooms: Small bedrooms and loft rooms can run warm, and the wool fillings wick moisture and regulate temperature naturally rather than trapping heat like foam.
- Grown-up quality in a one-person size: Most singles are budget builds for children; this one gives a solo sleeper the same natural fillings and pocket springs as the larger sizes.
- Spare room that earns regular use: In a guest room or a study that doubles as guest space, the medium tension is a safe middle ground for visitors you can't ask about firmness preferences.
- Easy, cheap bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm 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 natural materials rather than foam, you're buying a long-term mattress for a teenager's room where the bed shares floor space with a desk and wardrobe, or you're furnishing a spare room properly because guests stay often enough to deserve better than a budget single.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out at night, or two of you will ever share the bed, and your room allows more width. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider, the same length, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Will the Hypnos Wool Origins 6 UK single fit in a small bedroom?
Almost certainly. The mattress measures 90 x 190cm, and we suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space around it. That's the smallest footprint of any standard UK size, so it works in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow flat section, and children's rooms where the bed competes with storage and a desk.
Is the UK single Hypnos Wool Origins 6 long enough for a tall teenager?
At 190cm (6ft 3in) long, it accommodates most teens and adults comfortably. If the sleeper is very tall, the UK king is 10cm longer as well as 60cm wider, though that's a much bigger footprint: we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult to sleep on every night?
Yes, for one person who sleeps fairly still. At 90cm wide it's the standard UK one-person size, and the pocket springs support you across the full surface. If you tend to sprawl or shift position a lot, the UK small double adds 30cm of width at the same length and needs a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
Should I buy the Hypnos Wool Origins 6 in a single or a double?
It comes down to who sleeps there and how much room you have. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double and the same length. For one adult in a compact room, the single is the practical pick. If a partner ever joins you and your room offers at least 2.6m x 2.8m, we'd choose the UK double.
Is this mattress a sensible choice for a guest room single?
If guests stay regularly, yes. The medium tension suits a range of sleepers without asking their preferences, and the wool fillings keep the surface fresh in a room that isn't heated or aired daily. For a rarely used spare bed, a cheaper single would do the job; this one rewards frequent use.
