Layer Details
- Sleep surface. A naturally hypoallergenic fabric that feels soft against the skin. A gentle starting point for sensitive or allergy-prone sleepers.
- Airloft™ comfort layer. A foam alternative made from lightweight, open non-woven fibres, which the brand says is 18x more breathable. It mimics the feel of countless tiny springs, gently contouring to your body and spreading your weight evenly.
- 1000 Mini springs. A layer of 1,000 mini springs that respond to even slight movements, which means the surface adjusts as you shift in the night. They also add airflow through the middle of the mattress.
- Comfort Breathe®. Fibres described as 15x more breathable than standard memory foam. They promote airflow and help regulate temperature, a real plus if you tend to overheat.
- 600 Mirapocket spring unit. 600 pocket springs held in individual fabric pockets, each responding independently to your body. That gives you zoned support and better spinal alignment, and less disturbance from a restless partner.
- Protective layer. Disperses pressure from the spring unit across the mattress. In practice, this helps the mattress keep its feel for longer.
- Durable case. A soft but hard-wearing outer case designed to keep the mattress comfortable for years.

- Fits a child's room with space to spare: At 3ft wide, this UK single leaves room for a wardrobe, desk and toy storage in a bedroom where the bed can't take over.
- Cool sleep for warm little rooms: There's no memory foam anywhere in the build, which means better airflow, a real help in small box rooms and loft spaces that trap heat.
- A medium/soft feel that suits lighter sleepers: The gentler surface has some give, which children, teens and lighter adults tend to appreciate more than a firmer mattress.
- Practical for a spare room that earns two uses: A UK single keeps floor space free in a room that's an office by day, so guests get a proper mattress without the desk moving out.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked of any UK size, handy when a child's bedding needs frequent washing and replacing.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want a breathable, foam-free mattress with a softer feel, you're furnishing a spare room or study that doubles as guest space, or you sleep alone in a compact bedroom and need the bed to leave floor space free. Fitting two beds plus a walkway for siblings sharing is also realistic at this width.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out at night, or the bed may need to sleep two. We'd recommend the UK double instead: it's 45cm wider than the UK single and the same length, and we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is the Comfort Breathe Plus 1600 UK single a good choice for a child's room?
Yes, with one caveat on feel. The 90 x 190cm footprint is the UK standard for children's beds, and we suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which leaves room for storage and a desk in most kids' bedrooms. The medium/soft feel suits lighter bodies well, and the foam-free build helps in small rooms that run warm.
Will the UK single Comfort Breathe Plus 1600 work on a bunk or mid sleeper?
The width and length match standard bunk and mid-sleeper frames, so the fit itself is right. The thing to check is depth against your frame's safety rail: this mattress is 28cm deep, which is on the taller side for a top bunk. Measure from the base to the top of the rail before buying.
Is a UK single long enough for a tall teenager?
At 190cm (6ft 3in) long, it works for most teens. If yours is unusually tall or still growing fast, bear in mind the UK single is 10cm shorter than the UK king, so a longer size exists, though it needs a much bigger room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Should I choose a UK single or a UK small double for a guest room?
If the room only hosts one guest at a time and space is tight, the UK single is the sensible pick, needing just 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. The UK small double is 30cm wider and the same length, better for adult couples, but we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it. Two singles can also suit rooms hosting pairs of guests.
