Layer Details
- Memory foam. A layer of memory foam that contours to your body, which means pressure points like hips and shoulders get cushioned rather than pushed against. Nectar highlights this as the pressure-relieving comfort layer.
- Pocket springs. A base of 15cm pocket springs, each moving independently, which means support adapts to where your weight sits and your partner's movements are less noticeable. Springs also let air circulate, helping the mattress sleep cooler.
Layer details from nectarsleep.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Leaves the floor free in a child's room: At 90cm wide, this size leaves space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a bedroom that has to do several jobs at once.
- Springs suit warm young sleepers: The 15cm pocket spring base lets air move through the core, which means a teenager who runs hot should sleep cooler than on solid foam.
- Modest room requirement: We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, less than any larger size on this page needs.
- Practical for a spare room that's also an office: A single footprint keeps a guest bed usable in a room shared with a desk, and memory foam gives occasional visitors a comfortable, cushioned surface.
- Check depth for raised frames: Nectar doesn't publish the total mattress depth, so measure your bunk, cabin or mid sleeper's maximum mattress height and confirm with the brand before buying.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager moving up to a full-size bed, you sleep alone and want memory foam comfort in a compact room, or you're furnishing a spare room or student flat where the frame is provided and a straightforward, affordable hybrid is all the space allows.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out in the night, or you occasionally share the bed, and 90cm of width will feel tight. We'd recommend the Nectar Classic Hybrid in a UK small double instead; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Will the Nectar Classic Hybrid single fit a bunk bed?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames. The complication is depth: Nectar doesn't publish a total height for this mattress, and raised frames set a maximum so the guard rail stays effective. Measure your frame's limit and confirm the mattress depth with Nectar before ordering.
What size room do I need for a UK single mattress?
For the UK single we suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which gives room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. That modest footprint is why this size works under a loft slope or in a box room where a double simply wouldn't leave walking space.
Can two adults share a Nectar Classic Hybrid UK single?
Not comfortably. A UK single is designed for one sleeper, and the pocket springs' motion isolation can't compensate for two adults on 90cm of width. The UK double is 45cm wider and gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, so we'd point couples there; the UK single and the UK double are the same length.
Is the Nectar Classic Hybrid UK single a good first big bed for a child?
It's a reasonable choice. The single is the standard children's size in the UK, single bedding is cheap and widely stocked, and the memory foam layer cushions hips and shoulders gently. The pocket spring base also helps airflow, which suits children who kick off the covers because they overheat.
Is the UK single long enough for a tall teenager?
The UK single is 190cm long, the same length as the UK small double and the UK double, so sizing up in width won't buy any extra legroom. For a very tall sleeper the UK king is 10cm longer, though it's also 60cm wider and needs a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance.
