Layer Details
Tencel™ Lyocell sleep surface
A silky, soft-touch material woven to allow airflow, which means heat is less likely to build up where your body meets the mattress. It also moves moisture away from you as you sleep.
Platinum comfort layer
Silentnight says this layer is 10x more breathable than memory foam while offering the same pressure relief. In practice that should mean a cocooning, cushioned feel without the warmth memory foam is known for.
British Wool Comfort Layer
Wool from Cheviot sheep, a flexible and breathable material that helps keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. It's the natural heart of this mattress.
Mirapocket® springs and mini pocket springs
1,200 Mirapocket® springs adjust to your movements through the night, which means support stays consistent as you shift position. A further 1,000 mini pocket springs add comfort and increase breathability.

Key benefits
- A footprint that leaves room to live: At 90cm wide it fits alongside a desk, wardrobe and toy storage, which matters when the bedroom has to do more than hold a bed.
- Wool that suits warm little sleepers: The British wool layer breathes naturally, which means children and teens who run hot are less likely to wake up clammy.
- Foam free for a child's bed: Silentnight states this mattress is foam free with natural flame retardants, a reassuring detail if you're choosing for a young sleeper.
- Full spring count for one person: All 2,200 springs support a single sleeper, so a growing teenager or solo adult gets responsive support across the whole surface.
- Bedding is easy and cheap: Standard single sheets fit, though at 29cm deep you should check your fitted sheets have the stretch for it.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want a natural, foam-free build under them, you sleep alone and your room is on the compact side, or you're kitting out a spare room or student flat where a frame is already waiting. Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space and the UK single fits with walkway to spare.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, or a restless solo sleeper who wants spreading room. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider than the UK single, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

FAQ's
How big is the Silentnight British Wool 2200 in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. It's the standard UK one-person size, so any single frame or divan base should take it. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space so you can still open drawers and walk round the bed.
Is the Silentnight British Wool 2200 single a good choice for a child?
There's a strong case for it. Silentnight states the mattress is foam free and uses natural flame retardants, and the wool layer helps regulate temperature, useful for children who overheat at night. It has a soft feel, so lighter bodies will settle into it comfortably. The main caution is the price, which is high for a bed a child may outgrow.
Will the Silentnight British Wool 2200 single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The width and length are standard, so it will fit the frame itself. The sticking point is depth: at 29cm this is a substantial mattress, and many bunk beds specify a maximum depth so the guard rail still sits safely above the sleeper. Check your frame's stated limit before buying, especially for a top bunk.
What room size do I need for a single Silentnight British Wool 2200?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That's our own guidance rather than Silentnight's, and it assumes you want to move around the bed comfortably. In a loft conversion or box room the UK single's 90cm width is often the only size that leaves a usable walkway, which is exactly where it makes sense.
Where can I compare prices for this mattress in a UK single?
Use the live table on this page. The prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so it's a more reliable picture than a figure printed in the text. Stock and pricing for the UK single can differ from the larger sizes, which is why each size has its own price comparison.
