Layer Details
Comfort Layer
A layer of 100% Hampshire fleece wool, locally sourced from Hampshire. Wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, so it helps keep you comfortable through the seasons.
Comfort Layer
Natural English cotton fibres that regulate body temperature and wick away moisture. This means less of that clammy feeling on warmer nights.
Support System
1000 individually hand-nested pocket springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket. Because every spring moves independently, you get tailor-made support and less disturbance from a partner shifting position.

Key benefits
- Fits where space is tight: At 90cm wide it leaves room for a desk or wardrobe, useful in a spare room that doubles as an office or a loft conversion with a narrow footprint.
- Firm support for one: The 1000 hand-nested pocket springs give proper firm support, which suits solo back sleepers and heavier builds who sink too far into softer mattresses.
- Natural fibres in a small package: Hampshire fleece wool and English cotton regulate temperature and wick moisture, which means a warm-sleeping teenager or guest stays comfortable rather than clammy.
- Double-sided, easy to turn at this size: It has turning handles on both sides, and a single is the easiest size to flip regularly, so wear evens out over the years.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and least expensive bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're a solo adult sleeper or an older teenager who wants firm support and has a room where floor space matters, you're kitting out a guest room or spare-room office where the bed shares space with a desk, or you've moved into a student room or first flat where the frame is provided and you need a standard 90 x 190cm mattress to fit it.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night, or you occasionally share the bed. The UK small double would suit you better: it's 30cm wider at the same length, and we suggest a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
What size is the Millbrook Wool Ortho 1000 in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK one-person size, so it fits standard single bed frames, and standard single bedding fits it: single sheets plus a 135 x 200cm single duvet.
Will a UK single Millbrook Wool Ortho 1000 fit in a small bedroom?
In most cases, yes. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which covers box rooms, loft conversions and spare rooms that double as an office. At 90cm wide it leaves space free for a desk or wardrobe, or for two beds with a walkway if siblings share.
Is the Millbrook Wool Ortho 1000 single a good choice for a child?
It depends on the child. This is a genuinely firm mattress, so a lightweight child or teen who sleeps on their side may find it a little hard on the shoulders and hips. For older, heavier teenagers who sleep on their back, the firm support and breathable wool layers make more sense.
Can I use the Millbrook Wool Ortho 1000 UK single on a bunk or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard bunk and mid-sleeper frames, but check two things first: the frame's maximum mattress depth against this mattress's 24cm, and the guardrail height. Bear in mind it's double-sided and needs regular turning, which is awkward on a top bunk.
