Layer Details
- Cool-to-the-touch fabric cover. The top cover is designed to feel cool when you first lie down. It's a small thing, but a pleasant one on warm nights.
- Nectatex® memory foam. This layer cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips. Nectar states it's 30x more breathable than regular memory foam, so it should trap less heat than the memory foam of old.
- Dynamic support foam. A transition layer that promotes spinal alignment, which means your back stays in a more neutral position as you sink into the comfort layer above.
- Nectacoil® pocket springs. Each spring flexes independently to adapt to your body, giving more personalised support than foam alone. The springs also improve airflow and help minimise motion transfer between partners.
- High-density foam. A firmer foam surround encases the spring layer to shore up the edges. This helps prevent that roll-off feeling when you sleep near the side of the bed.

- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide, it leaves floor space for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a child's room, which is where most single beds end up.
- Cooling for teens who sleep warm: The cool-touch cover and breathable Nectatex® foam suit teenagers who overheat at night, a common complaint the standard memory foam of old made worse.
- Supported edges on a narrow bed: High-density foam around the springs firms up the sides, which matters more on a 90cm mattress where you sleep closer to the edge.
- A generous guest bed: The medium feel and pressure-relieving top layer suit a range of visiting sleepers, so a spare room single needn't feel like a compromise.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and affordable bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager's room where the bed shares space with a desk and storage, you're a solo adult in a compact bedroom or first flat, or you're furnishing a spare room, perhaps with two singles rather than one double so guests aren't forced to share.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, or you simply want more room to spread out. The UK double is 45cm wider, gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

What size is the Nectar Elite Cool Hybrid UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK single, so it fits standard single bed frames, and ordinary single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet will fit without adjustment.
Will the UK single Nectar Elite Cool Hybrid fit a bunk or mid sleeper?
The width and length match standard bunk frames, but at 28cm this is a deep mattress. Bunk and cabin beds have a maximum mattress depth so the safety rail stays high enough above the sleeping surface. Check your frame's stated limit before buying; many raised frames specify something shallower than 28cm.
How much room do I need for a single Nectar Elite Cool Hybrid?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a loft conversion, the 90cm width also makes it easier to tuck the bed under a sloped ceiling than any larger size.
Is the Nectar Elite Cool Hybrid single good for a child or teenager?
Yes, with one caveat. The medium feel and pocket spring support suit growing bodies, and the cooling cover helps teens who sleep warm. The caveat is depth: at 28cm it sits noticeably higher than a typical children's mattress, so it works better on a standard frame than a raised or mid-sleeper one.
Can two singles work instead of a double in a guest room?
Often, yes, if the room allows it. Two UK singles give each guest their own 90cm bed, which suits friends or relatives who'd rather not share. You'll need space for both beds plus a walkway between them, so measure carefully; each single needs clearance on at least one side.
