Layer Details
Responsive-Gel layer
A breathable, instantly responsive layer with gel beads for temperature control, designed to draw excess body heat away from the surface. It eases pressure while helping you stay cooler, which is useful if you tend to sleep warm.
Pocket springs
Individual springs, each in its own cloth sleeve, that move independently and contour to your body shape. You get support that follows your shape, and less disturbance when a partner moves. A high density foam encapsulated border around them gives edge-to-edge support.

Key benefits
- A grown-up mattress in a one-person footprint: Most singles are entry-level, so a gel pocket sprung build in this size suits an adult who sleeps alone but doesn't want to compromise on quality.
- Fits where wider sizes can't: At 90cm wide it sits comfortably under a loft slope or alongside a desk and wardrobe, leaving room to move in a small bedroom.
- Gel layers for warm sleepers in warm rooms: Box rooms and loft conversions heat up quickly, and the gel in the comfort layers is there to help with temperature.
- Support that lasts through the teenage years: Pocket springs adapt to a growing body, which makes this a single you buy once rather than replace every few years.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want a premium pocket sprung feel without paying for width you'll never use, you're kitting out a teenager's room where the bed shares space with a desk and storage, or you're furnishing a guest room and would rather visitors sleep well than merely sleep somewhere.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night, or a couple hoping to squeeze onto one bed. The UK small double is 30cm wider and the same length, and we'd recommend it instead if you can allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Will the Kaymed Signature Response Gel Pocket 1600 single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint is the standard fit for UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. Depth is the thing to check: raised frames often have a maximum mattress height for guard rail safety, and Kaymed doesn't publish a depth for this model, so confirm it with the retailer before ordering for a raised frame.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
At 90cm wide and 190cm long, a UK single works for most adults sleeping alone, particularly in a compact room or first flat where a wider bed would dominate the floor. Very tall sleepers should note the 190cm length; the UK king is 10cm longer if that's a concern.
Is this mattress too good for a child's room?
It's a premium build for a child, and plenty of parents choose a cheaper single for young children who'll outgrow their first bed quickly. For a teenager it makes more sense: the pocket sprung support suits a growing body and the mattress can last them into adulthood.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which leaves room to walk around and open drawers. That makes the UK single a realistic fit for box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow usable footprint, and spare rooms that double as an office.
Should I buy the UK single or the UK small double for a guest room?
If the room takes it, the UK small double gives guests 30cm more width at the same length; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it. The UK single is the better call where two beds need to share the room, or where the guest bed shares space with a desk.
