Layer Details
- Fits the smallest bedrooms: At 90cm wide, it leaves floor space free in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint under the slope, and children's rooms where the bed competes with a desk and wardrobe.
- Firm support for growing sleepers: The firm ortho feel gives teenagers and back sleepers a flat, supportive surface rather than a soft one they sink into.
- Pocket springs in a one-person size: 1400 pocket springs move independently, which means support shaped to your body even on a narrower mattress where every centimetre of the surface gets used.
- Sensible for spare rooms: A UK single suits a spare room doubling as an office, keeping the desk usable while still giving guests a proper branded mattress.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager who needs firm support as they grow, you sleep alone and your room can spare only a modest footprint, or you're furnishing a student room or first flat where the frame is provided and the mattress isn't. It also suits a spare room that spends most of its week as an office.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, or a restless solo sleeper who wants more width to spread out. 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 of floor space for it.

Is the Silentnight Athens 1400 UK single a good size for a child's room?
Yes, the UK single is the standard children's size in the UK, and at 90 x 190cm it leaves room for toy storage, a wardrobe and a desk in most kids' bedrooms. The firm feel also suits growing children and teens who benefit from a supportive, flatter surface. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little firm, though.
Will the Athens 1400 UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames, so width and length shouldn't be a problem. Raised frames do have depth limits for safety rails, so check your frame's maximum mattress depth against the retailer's listing before you buy.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which is our own guidance rather than Silentnight's. That allows a walkway alongside the bed. If two siblings are sharing with two singles plus a gap between them, you'll need noticeably more width than that minimum.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes: it's the standard one-person size and works well in student rooms, first flats and compact bedrooms. If you're broad-shouldered or move around a lot in your sleep, the UK small double gives you 30cm more width at the same length, and this mattress is available in that size too.
