Layer Details
- Smart Latex. A 50mm layer of reactive natural latex foam that provides soothing support. Latex responds quickly to movement, which means gentle pressure relief without the sinking feeling of slower foams.
- Pocket Springs. 1,600 pocket springs (counted on the kingsize) work alongside the latex, each one individually encapsulated. This lets every spring react to your body shape on its own, which you'll feel as more tailored support and less disturbance from a partner's movement.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- A feel matched to lighter bodies: The medium soft latex and pocket spring build cushions shoulders and hips, which means children, teens and lighter adults get pressure relief rather than a board-like surface.
- Leaves room to live: At 3ft wide, this single keeps floor space free for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a child's room or a spare room doubling as an office.
- Responsive latex, easy turning: The 50mm graphite-infused latex layer springs back quickly as you move, useful for restless younger sleepers who change position through the night.
- Edge support in a narrow bed: Foam encapsulated edges matter more on a 90cm width, so you can sleep close to the side without feeling you might roll off.
- 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're buying for a child or teenager and want something gentler than a typical firm kids' mattress, you're a lighter adult sleeping solo in a compact room or first flat, or you're furnishing a guest room where the bed needs to share space with a desk. Side sleepers in particular will get on with the softer feel at this width.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed, or you're a solo sleeper who likes to stretch out. We'd recommend the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 in a UK double instead: it's 45cm wider, the same length, and we suggest allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

What are the dimensions of the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 single mattress?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK one-person size, so it fits ordinary single bed frames, and standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet will fit without adjustment. We suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
Is the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 single a good mattress for a child or teenager?
Yes, with one caveat. The medium soft feel suits lighter bodies well, cushioning growing joints rather than pushing back too hard, and the responsive latex means a fidgety sleeper won't feel stuck. The caveat is the softness itself: if your teenager is heavier or prefers a firm surface for back sleeping, it may feel too yielding.
Will the Kaymed Smart Latex 1600 single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
Check your frame's maximum mattress depth first. This mattress is 26cm deep, which is more than many bunk beds allow, since guard rails need to sit well above the mattress surface to be safe. It suits a standard single frame or divan without any issue; for raised frames, measure before you order.
How much narrower is a UK single than a small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and the two are the same length. If you're kitting out a guest room or a room shared by siblings, that saved width often decides whether two beds and a walkway fit. For the UK small double alone, we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.
