Key benefits
- Leaves room for everything else: At 3ft wide, the UK single leaves space beside the bed for a desk, a wardrobe or a toy box in a child's bedroom.
- Fits awkward loft rooms: A narrow 90cm footprint can tuck under the slope of a loft conversion, where a wider mattress would leave you knocking your head as you sit up.
- A softer top for growing sleepers: The pillow top adds a gentler surface over medium support, which suits a child or teenager who finds a plain spring mattress a little hard.
- Kinder for allergy-prone children: Silentnight describes the quilted aloe vera infused cover as hypoallergenic, a reassuring detail if your child's sniffles seem worse at bedtime.
- Easy to pair in a twin guest room: Two UK singles side by side let guests who aren't a couple sleep separately, and the individual springs keep each mattress responsive to its own sleeper.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's bedroom where the bed has to share the floor with a desk and storage, or you sleep alone in a small room or loft conversion and want a softer-feeling top on medium support.
Consider another size if...
You're a tall teenager or an adult who sprawls and the room has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Will the Silentnight Portchester pillow top single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
Possibly, but check before you buy. The UK single is 27cm deep, and the pillow top accounts for part of that height. Raised frames usually set a maximum mattress depth so the safety rail stays high enough above the sleeper. Look up that limit in the frame maker's guidance and only go ahead if 27cm sits within it.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK single Portchester mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. If you're fitting two UK singles for siblings, measure the walkway between them as well, since each bed needs its own clear side to get in and out.
Is a UK single Portchester long enough for a teenager?
For most teenagers, yes. The UK single is 190cm long, the same length as the UK small double and the UK double. A teenager who is still growing tall would gain extra length from the UK king, which is 10cm longer than the UK single, although that needs a much larger room.
What sheets fit a Silentnight Portchester pillow top in a UK single?
Standard UK single sheets and a single duvet (135 x 200cm) fit the 90 x 190cm footprint. The catch is depth: at 27cm, this mattress is deeper than many budget singles, so choose fitted sheets labelled as deep fitting to stop the corners pinging off the pillow top.
Is the UK single Portchester a good bed for a spare room that's also an office?
It suits that setup well. A UK single leaves floor clear for a desk and chair, and the medium pillow top feel tends to please most occasional guests. If you regularly host couples, though, the UK double gives two people 67.5cm each, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.
