- Fits where bigger beds won't: At 90cm wide, the UK single leaves room for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom without the bed dominating the space.
- Memory foam at pocket-money pricing: The UK single is the cheapest size in the Morgedal range, so a first flat or hand-me-down frame gets contouring foam without a premium spend.
- Pairs up in shared and guest rooms: Two UK singles plus a walkway fit where one double often won't, useful for siblings sharing or a guest room set up for two.
- Standard bedding, easily replaced: Single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet are the cheapest and most widely stocked bedding of any size, handy for a child's bed that needs frequent washing.
- Foam suits slatted Ikea frames: A foam mattress flexes with slatted bases, which means it sits happily on the single frames Ikea itself sells.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager, kitting out a spare room or student flat where the frame is already provided, or you sleep alone and want to keep floor space free in a compact bedroom. It also suits a loft room where the slope of the ceiling rules out anything wider than a 90cm footprint.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who moves around a lot in the night, or you're likely to share the bed even occasionally. The UK double would suit you better, giving 67.5cm each for two sharing; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Is the Ikea Morgedal UK single a good mattress for a child's room?
Yes, with a caveat. The UK single is the standard size for children's beds, and the Morgedal's low price makes sense for a bed a child will outgrow. The memory foam layer moulds to the body, which lighter children may barely sink into, so expect it to feel firmer to them than to an adult.
Will the Morgedal UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid-sleeper frames. The complication is depth: Ikea doesn't publish a confirmed depth for this mattress, and raised frames usually set a maximum so the guard rail stays effective. Check the measurement on the listing against your frame's limit before you buy.
How much floor space does a UK single mattress need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. That makes it a practical fit for box rooms, lofts with a narrow usable strip under the slope, and spare rooms that double as an office.
Should I get the Morgedal in a UK single or a UK double?
It comes down to who's sleeping there and how much room you have. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double and the same length, so a solo child or teen rarely needs more. For an adult who wants space to spread out, or any chance of sharing, the UK double is the safer buy.
