Layer Details
Plush pillow top
A plush layer stitched onto the surface of the mattress for extra comfort and support. It softens the feel of the top without changing the firm rating.
Mirapocket spring core
1000 Mirapocket springs, each in its own fabric pocket and reacting independently. That means the mattress follows your movements and helps limit disturbance to a partner.
Protective base layer
A layer under the springs that spreads their pressure across the whole surface. It's there to help the mattress last longer.

Key benefits
- Room left for everything else: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, the UK single leaves space for a wardrobe and a desk in a child's bedroom, which matters when the bed is competing with toy storage.
- Two beds in one guest room: If your spare room needs to sleep two friends or siblings separately, a pair of UK singles can sit side by side with a walkway between them.
- A small footprint for loft rooms: In a loft conversion, a 90cm wide bed can tuck under the slope of the roof where a wider frame would leave you hitting your head getting in.
- Firm support for a single back sleeper: The 1000 Mirapocket springs give firm, even support, which suits a teenager or adult who sleeps mostly on their back and dislikes sinking in.
- Pillow top comfort on a firm base: The stitched-on pillow top adds a cushioned layer, which means the first feel is gentler than the firm rating suggests, even though the support underneath stays firm.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want firm support in a compact room, you're furnishing a teenager's bedroom or a spare room that also serves as a home office, or you need two separate beds for guests or siblings sharing one room.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner most nights, or you need a mattress for a deep-sided bunk. For two sleepers we'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Will the Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top Pocket Ortho UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
It's 27cm deep, which is deeper than many raised frames are designed for. Raised beds have a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to stop a sleeper rolling off. Check the frame maker's guidance before buying, and choose a shallower mattress if this one goes over their limit.
What size is a Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top single in feet?
The UK single measures 3ft x 6ft 3in, which is 90 x 190cm. That's the standard UK single, so it fits standard single bed frames, and a single duvet at 135 x 200cm and standard single sheets will fit it.
How big does a bedroom need to be for a UK single Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to walk around the bed and open a wardrobe, which is usually enough for a child's room, a box room or a study that doubles as guest space.
Is a UK single or UK small double better for a teenager?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double and the same length. If your teenager sprawls or is tall and broad, the extra width helps, although we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for a UK small double. Silentnight doesn't make this mattress in a UK small double, so you'd need a different model.
Is the Silentnight 1000 Pillow Top Pocket Ortho single too firm for a child?
It may be for a young child who sleeps on their side. Lighter side sleepers can feel a firm mattress push back at the shoulders and hips, and the pillow top softens the surface only a little. A child or teen who sleeps on their back is likely to get on with it better.
