Layer Details
- Deep open-cell memory foam. An open-cell comfort layer that actively cools as you sleep, which means the pressure-relieving hug of memory foam with less of the heat build-up the material is known for. This is the layer you'll feel first when you lie down.
- 5000 dual-layer pocket springs. A dual-layer arrangement of 5,000 pocket springs with multi-zoned support and an encapsulated edge, which means precise contouring to your body and a firmer perimeter so you can use the full width of the bed. It also gives superior motion isolation, so a restless partner is less likely to wake you.
Layer details from rem-fit.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Room for everything else: We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m, which leaves space for a wardrobe and a desk in a child's bedroom that also has to hold the toy boxes.
- Usable to the very edge: The encapsulated edge keeps the perimeter firm, which means a narrow bed feels less narrow because you can lie close to the side without feeling you might roll off.
- A grown-up spec for a growing teen: A multi-zoned pocket spring unit gives firmer support where the body is heaviest, which suits a teenager who has outgrown a basic foam or open coil single.
- Guest room pairs: Two UK singles side by side give guests a bed each, and the cooling open-cell memory foam top should feel less stuffy than older memory foam in a warm spare room.
- Fits a supplied frame: Student rooms and first flats often come with a single frame but no mattress, and the standard 90 x 190cm size drops straight in.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want a supportive, medium-firm hybrid in a compact room, or you're kitting out a teenager's bedroom or a spare room where two beds need to fit with a walkway between them.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sprawls, or you'd like space for a pet or a child climbing in. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, which is 30cm wider; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

Is the Rem-Fit 5000 Lux Elite UK single too deep for a bunk bed?
It may be. The mattress is 25cm deep, and bunk beds, cabin beds and mid sleepers usually set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to be safe. Check the frame maker's guidance before buying. If the limit is below 25cm, this mattress is the wrong choice for that frame.
How much room do I need for a Rem-Fit 5000 Lux Elite UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That is the smallest footprint of any size in the range, so it works in box rooms and in a loft conversion where the bed has to sit under the slope and only a narrow strip of floor has full head height.
Is a UK single Rem-Fit 5000 Lux Elite a good choice for a child?
For older children and teens, yes, as the zoned springs give proper support. The 7.5/10 medium-firm tension is the catch: very light sleepers, including younger children who lie on their side, may find it a little firm at the shoulder. It suits a teenager better than a small child.
Should I buy the Rem-Fit 5000 Lux Elite in a UK single or a UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and both are the same length. If the room allows at least 2.4m x 2.8m and the sleeper is an adult, the UK small double gives noticeably more room to turn over. For compact rooms, children and guest twins, the UK single makes more sense.
Is the UK single Rem-Fit 5000 Lux Elite long enough for a tall person?
It measures 190cm, or 6ft 3in, in length, which suits most sleepers but can feel short for someone very tall. The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK single, although it is much wider too, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space for it.
