Layer Details
- Cover. A stretch-knit, soft-touch cover with a 100% Egyptian cotton white border. The stretch in the knit means the surface flexes with the fillings beneath rather than creating a drum-tight feel.
- Comfort Layer. Deep layers of polyester comfort fillings, described as Soft White Fibres. These give the mattress its cushioned initial feel before you reach the springs.
- Support System. 1000 individual pocket springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket. Because every spring compresses independently, heavier areas like hips sink slightly more while lighter areas stay supported.

- Proper springs at a starter size: The 1000 individual pocket springs compress independently, which means a child or single adult gets support that follows their shape rather than a flat, board-like surface.
- A sensible fit for compact rooms: At 90cm wide, this single leaves room in a child's bedroom for a wardrobe, a desk and the toy storage that always seems to multiply.
- Grows with a child: Medium firm support suits growing bodies through the teenage years, so this is a mattress a child is unlikely to outgrow quickly.
- Two singles for shared or guest rooms: In a siblings' room or a spare room set up for visiting family, two UK singles plus a walkway is often more workable than one larger bed.
- Check raised frames first: At 29cm deep it is on the taller side for bunk beds and mid sleepers, so measure your guard rail height before ordering.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's room or a teenager and want real pocket spring support without a big spend, you sleep alone and your bedroom can spare a 90cm-wide footprint, or you're kitting out a guest room or a spare room that doubles as an office and need a bed that stays out of the way.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who moves around at night, or you share the bed even occasionally. The UK small double gives you 30cm more width at the same length; we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

What room size do I need for the Classic Gold 1000 in a UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That allows the 90 x 190cm mattress plus enough clearance to open drawers and walk around one side comfortably. In a loft conversion or box room, the single's narrow footprint is often the only size that leaves usable space around the bed.
Will the Classic Gold 1000 single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid-sleeper frames. The catch is depth: at 29cm, this mattress is taller than many raised frames allow, and a top bunk needs the guard rail to sit well above the mattress surface. Measure your frame's maximum mattress depth before buying.
Is the Classic Gold 1000 single a good mattress for a child or teenager?
It's a reasonable fit. The medium firm feel and 1000 pocket springs give growing bodies proper support rather than the basic open-coil feel of many budget children's mattresses, and the single size suits most children's rooms. Lighter children will sit nearer the surface, so it may feel a little firmer to them.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
It works for a single adult who sleeps fairly still, and at 190cm long it suits most heights. If you spread out or turn frequently, 90cm of width can feel restrictive night after night. For a main bed, the UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length and needs only a slightly larger room.
Should I buy the Classic Gold 1000 in a UK single or a UK double for a guest room?
It depends who visits. One UK double, which is 45cm wider than the UK single at the same length, suits couples; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it. Two UK singles suit friends, siblings or grandchildren who'd rather not share. Compare the retailers listed on this page for current prices on either.
