Layer Details
- Coolmax sleep surface. A moisture-wicking sleep surface, which means sweat is drawn away from your body rather than sitting against your skin. The result is a fresher, drier feel through the night.
- Airmesh comfort layer. A 3D honeycomb mesh that uses your movement to push air around the mattress. In practice, this means better circulation and a cooler sleeping environment.
- Eco Comfort Fibre. Soft fibres made from recycled materials, fully recyclable at the end of the mattress's life. They mould around your contours for a plush, pressure-relieving surface feel.
- Mirapocket Springs support system. Silentnight's zoned pocket springs, designed to react to different areas of your body independently. This helps align your spine, which you'll feel as steadier posture support and less pressure build-up.
- Mini Pocket Springs. A layer of 1,000 mini springs sitting within the build for extra comfort and pressure relief. They also cut down motion transfer, so a partner's movement is less likely to wake you.

- Fits a compact room with space to spare: At 90cm wide, this single leaves room for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom, or two beds plus a walkway where siblings share.
- Grown-up support for a growing sleeper: The zoned Mirapocket springs adjust to different areas of the body, which means proper spinal support for a teenager rather than a basic children's mattress feel.
- Cool surface for a small bed: The Coolmax surface and Airmesh layer keep air moving, so a warm-sleeping teen or a summer guest gets a fresher, drier night.
- A spare room that stays useful: A single footprint lets a study double as guest space, and the medium feel with pressure-relieving recycled fibres treats visitors better than a typical spare-room mattress.
- Check the depth on raised frames: At 31cm deep, this mattress may sit too high on bunks, cabins and mid sleepers, so measure against the frame's maximum mattress depth and safety rail before buying.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager who has outgrown a starter mattress, you sleep alone in a compact bedroom or first flat where a wider bed would crowd the floor, or you want a spare room bed that guests will genuinely sleep well on. In each case the 2.1m x 2.8m minimum floor space is easy to meet.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed, or you sleep alone but sprawl. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, so we'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Will the Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 in a UK single fit a bunk bed?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk, cabin and mid-sleeper frames, but the depth is the issue. At 31cm, this mattress is deeper than many raised frames allow, and a top bunk needs the safety rail to sit well above the mattress surface. Check your frame's maximum mattress depth before ordering.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which gives you room to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. That makes it a comfortable fit in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint, and children's bedrooms where the bed competes with storage.
Is the UK single Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600 good for a teenager?
Yes, arguably better than most singles. The zoned pocket springs support a growing spine properly, and the Coolmax surface helps teens who run warm at night. The medium feel suits most, although a lightweight child may find it a little soft at first, and owner reviews suggest it needs a settling-in period.
How much wider is a UK small double than a UK single?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and the two are the same length. If a solo adult sleeper wants more width but the room is tight, the UK small double is the next step up; we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.
