Layer Details
- Cover. A quilted cover enriched with aloe vera and antimicrobial properties, which means a fresher, softer sleep surface. It's a small touch, but a pleasant one for allergy-prone sleepers.
- Comfort Fillings. Eco Comfort Fibres, breathable sustainable fibres that are 100% recyclable, sit alongside a natural silk layer known for its softness and lightweight feel. Together they give the surface its gentle, airy cushioning.
- Support System. 2000 individually pocketed springs work independently, which means tailored support where your body presses hardest, typically hips and shoulders. This also helps limit motion transfer between partners.
- Base. A sturdy, non-slip base keeps the mattress stable on your bed frame. Nothing fancy, but it does its job.

- Leaves room for everything else: We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which means a desk, wardrobe and toy storage can still share a small bedroom without a squeeze.
- Full specification at a smaller size: The UK single keeps the same 2000 independently pocketed springs, which means hips and shoulders get targeted support rather than a scaled-down version of the mattress.
- Firm support for growing bodies: Owners generally describe the feel as firmer than medium, which suits heavier teens and back sleepers, although a slight child may find the surface less forgiving.
- Fits awkward spaces: At 90cm wide, the UK single can sit under a sloping loft ceiling or line up with a second bed in a shared children's room and still leave a walkway.
- Freshness for spare rooms: The aloe vera cover is antimicrobial and the fibres are breathable, which helps a guest mattress that sits unused for weeks feel fresh when someone arrives.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's bedroom where floor space is tight, or you're setting up a spare room or study that needs to host one guest at a time. It also fits if you sleep alone, prefer a firmer, springier surface and have a standard single frame to fill.
Consider another size if...
Two people will share the mattress, even occasionally. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.

Can I use the Minerva 2000 UK single on a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
Possibly, but check your frame first. The mattress is 27.5cm deep, and raised frames such as bunks, cabin beds and mid sleepers usually state a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to be safe. If your frame's guidance lists a lower maximum, choose a slimmer mattress for that bed.
Is the Rest Assured Minerva 2000 single a good mattress for a child?
It can be, depending on the child. The support is firm and springy, and across owner reviews several people found it firmer than the medium rating suggests. A heavier teenager or back sleeper is likely to get on well with it, while a very light child who sleeps on their side may find it a little unyielding.
What size bedroom do I need for a Minerva 2000 UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m. That gives you enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a room shared by siblings, measure for two beds with a walkway between them before you order.
Should a teenager have the Minerva 2000 in a UK single or UK small double?
The UK small double is 30cm wider than the UK single and the same length, so a teenager who sprawls will feel the difference. It needs more floor space, though: we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double. If the room is tight, the UK single is the sensible choice.
Is the Minerva 2000 UK single long enough for a tall adult?
The UK single is 190cm long, which is the same length as the UK small double and UK double. If your feet already hang over the end, the UK king is 10cm longer, but it is also much wider, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space for the UK king.
