Layer Details
- Cover. A 100% cotton cover, hand tufted for optimum performance. Tufting anchors the fillings in place, which means the surface is less likely to shift or sag.
- Comfort Layer. Natural cotton fibres create a fresh sleeping environment. These soft fillings regulate body temperature and wick away moisture, helpful if you run warm at night.
- Comfort Layer. A layer of wool, a natural insulator with strong temperature regulating properties. In practice this means warmth in winter and better breathability in summer than synthetic fillings tend to manage.
- Support System. 1000 individual pocket springs work with your body to provide tailored support. A supportive wire edge adds structure, so the mattress should hold its shape at the sides.

- Leaves room for everything else: At 90 x 190cm it leaves floor space for a desk or wardrobe, and we suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m for the room.
- Made for a busy spare bed: It conforms to BS7177: 2008 Source 5 for commercial premises, which means a guest room single can take visitor after visitor without the build being stretched.
- Pairs up for twin guest rooms: If you'd rather offer visitors two separate beds than one shared one, a pair of these singles gives each guest the same even, medium firm surface.
- Breathable in a small, warm room: Cotton and wool fillings help wick away moisture, which is useful in a snug loft conversion bedroom where warm air tends to collect.
- Steady support for older children: The 1000 pocket springs suit a teenager who sleeps on their back or front, although a lightweight child who sleeps on their side may find it a little firm.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a spare room or guest house room that sees plenty of different sleepers, or you're buying for a teenager who sleeps on their back or front and prefers a firmer bed that won't sag in the middle.
Consider another size if...
You share your bed, or you're a lightweight side sleeper wanting a soft surface to sink into. This mattress is currently listed only as a UK single, so there is no larger size of it to move to.

Will the Shire Hotel Deluxe 1000 Pocket single fit a mid sleeper or cabin bed?
The width and length suit a standard UK single frame, but Shire Beds doesn't publish a depth for this mattress. Raised frames usually set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays effective, so check the frame maker's guidance and ask the retailer for the depth before you order.
Is the Shire Hotel Deluxe UK single a good mattress for a teenager?
It suits a teenager who sleeps on their back or front and likes a firmer feel, because the pocket springs keep the spine supported. A slight teen who curls up on their side may find the medium firm surface a little unforgiving at the shoulders and hips.
What size bedroom do I need for a Shire Hotel Deluxe UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves enough room to walk round the bed and open a wardrobe or pull out a desk chair, which matters most in a child's room or a box room.
Can I put two Shire Hotel Deluxe singles in a twin guest room?
Yes, and the contract-grade build suits it, since both beds will see a changing run of visitors. Two separate mattresses also mean one guest turning over won't disturb the other. Compare the retailers listed on this page if you're buying a pair.
Does the Shire Hotel Deluxe 1000 Pocket come in a double or king size?
At the moment it's listed in UK single only. That makes it a one-person mattress, so couples will need a different model. The prices shown here update as retailers change them, so check the table for current availability.
