- Leaves room for everything else: At 90cm wide, the UK single leaves floor space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
- Two beds in one guest room: If your spare room needs to sleep two friends or siblings separately, a pair of UK singles lets each person have their own mattress rather than sharing.
- Sensible support for growing bodies: The medium firm feel gives teenagers and adults a supportive base, although very light children who sleep on their side may find it a little firm at the shoulder.
- Standard dimensions for fitted frames: The 90 x 190cm footprint matches the standard UK single, which means it should suit most single frames, divan bases and the beds supplied in student rooms and rented flats.
- Narrow enough for a loft conversion: The narrow footprint lets you tuck the bed along a sloping wall in a loft conversion, keeping the full-height part of the room clear to walk and stand in.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for one person, perhaps a child or teenager, and the bedroom also has to hold a desk and storage, or you're kitting out a small spare room or a student let where the frame is already there and only the mattress is missing.
Consider another size if...
You share a bed with a partner or want room to spread out as an adult. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Shire Memory Deluxe 1000 UK single good for a child?
For older children and teenagers, the medium firm hybrid feel offers supportive, stable sleep in a size that suits most children's rooms. Very light younger children who sleep on their side may find it a little firm against the shoulder, so think about how your child sleeps before choosing.
Will the Shire Memory Deluxe 1000 in UK single fit a cabin bed or mid sleeper?
At 90 x 190cm it matches the standard UK single footprint that most cabin beds and mid sleepers are built around. Shire doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, and raised frames usually set a maximum mattress depth for the safety rail, so check the brand's guidance and your frame's limit before ordering.
What size room do I need for a Shire Memory Deluxe 1000 UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to walk around the bed and open a wardrobe or pull out a desk chair, which matters in a box room or a child's bedroom full of furniture.
Is a UK single Shire Memory Deluxe 1000 long enough for a tall adult?
The UK single is 190cm long, the same as the UK double. If you're tall and your feet reach the end of standard beds, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK single, though it needs a larger room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Should I buy the Shire Memory Deluxe 1000 in single or double for a spare room?
If your guests usually come as a couple, the UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m. If the room is small or mostly hosts one visitor, the UK single is 45cm narrower and leaves far more floor space free.
