Layer Details
EcoFoam®
A sustainable comfort layer made from 100% recycled and re-engineered foam, which moulds gently to your body by reacting to your natural warmth. It's resilient, durable and naturally dust mite resistant, offering solid body support.
Reflex Foam
A firm reflex foam layer that creates the medium-firm, orthopaedic feel, helping to align your spine into a more comfortable sleeping position. It's highly breathable, which means less overheating and a fresher feel through the night.

Key benefits
- Leaves room to live: At 3ft wide, the UK single frees up floor space in a child's room where the bed competes with a desk, wardrobe and toy storage.
- Suited to raised frames: The 20cm depth sits comfortably within the safety rail height most bunk, cabin and mid-sleeper frames require, so check your frame's stated limit and this should clear it.
- Sensible for guest rooms: A budget foam build in the UK single is a practical fit for a spare room that spends most of its life as an office.
- Supportive for growing sleepers: The firmer reflex foam base keeps the spine aligned, which suits children and teens better than a soft, sink-in feel would.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
- Works in awkward spaces: The narrow 90cm footprint slots under a loft conversion's slope or lets two beds share a room with a walkway between them.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's room or a teenager and want firm, uncomplicated support without spending much; you need a mattress for a bunk, cabin or mid-sleeper frame with a depth limit; or you're kitting out a spare room, student room or first flat where the frame is already provided and the budget is tight.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult sleeping in it every night and want space to stretch out, or you share the bed. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider, gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, and needs a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
What size room do I need for the Ortho Care Foam in a UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. In practice the UK single fits box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow usable footprint, and shared children's rooms where two beds need a walkway between them.
Will the UK single Ortho Care Foam fit a bunk or mid-sleeper frame?
In most cases, yes. The UK single is the standard size for bunk beds, cabin beds and mid sleepers, and at 20cm deep this mattress sits within the depth limit most raised frames specify for their safety rails. Check your frame's stated maximum mattress depth before ordering, as it varies between manufacturers.
Is the Ortho Care Foam UK single good for a child or teenager?
It's a reasonable choice. The medium-firm feel and reflex foam base give the kind of steady support growing bodies do well on, and the EcoFoam® top layer is hypoallergenic and naturally dust mite resistant, useful if allergies disturb their sleep. Very lightweight children may find it a little solid at first, though foam softens slightly with warmth.
How big is the Ortho Care Foam mattress in a UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK one-person size, so it fits any single bed frame, divan or bunk sold in the UK, and standard single fitted sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit without adjustment.
Should I get the UK single or the UK double for a spare room?
If the room mostly serves as an office or only hosts one guest at a time, the UK single takes up noticeably less floor space and keeps the room usable day to day. If couples stay regularly, the UK double is 45cm wider and gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, but you'd need at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.
