Layer Details
- Coolmax Cover. A soft-touch Coolmax cover wicks moisture away from your body, which means less clamminess on warmer nights. It's the first line of temperature control before you reach the fillings.
- Microquilted Layer. The cover fabric is stitched directly into the filling beneath it, giving that plush, quilted surface feel. You'll notice it as a smooth, slightly pillowy first impression when you lie down.
- Eco Comfort Fibre. A finely packed layer of fibres made from recycled materials adds extra padding that cradles your body. It's where much of the mattress's soft, cushioned character comes from.
- Airmesh. Silentnight's 3D honeycomb Airmesh uses an open structure to let air move through the mattress. In practice, that means heat has somewhere to go rather than building up around you.
- Mirapocket Springs. The core holds 2000 Mirapocket springs alongside 1000 mini pocket springs, all made from durable steel. The mini springs target smaller, harder-to-reach areas like the lower back, so support feels more tailored than a single-spring system.

- Fits where space is tight: At 90cm wide, it needs just 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space by our guidance, which leaves room for a desk or wardrobe in a compact bedroom.
- A plush single for a growing teen: The medium soft boxtop cushions lighter bodies well, so teens and lighter adults get pressure relief rather than a surface that pushes back.
- Cooling in a small room: Compact bedrooms and loft rooms warm up quickly, and the Coolmax cover with the Airmesh layer gives heat somewhere to go.
- Guest ready without compromise: Its soft, quilted feel means visitors get a genuinely comfortable night rather than the thin, firm mattress spare rooms often end up with.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a single duvet fit, though the 35cm depth means you'll want deep fitted sheets specifically.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want a soft, cushioned feel rather than a firm platform, you're buying for a teenager who has outgrown a basic children's mattress, or you're furnishing a spare room that doubles as an office and want guests to sleep well without the bed dominating the space. It also suits student rooms and first flats where a standard single frame is already provided.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who shares the bed even occasionally, or you find 90cm restrictive when you spread out. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

Will the Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh 3000 single fit a bunk bed?
Probably not. At 35cm deep, this mattress is taller than most bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames safely allow, because the top of the mattress can rise above the guard rail. The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard bunk frames, but check your frame's maximum mattress depth before buying. For most raised frames, a shallower mattress is the safer choice.
What room size do I need for the UK single Eco Comfort Airmesh 3000?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which is our own guidance rather than Silentnight's. That leaves enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers. In a child's room competing with toy storage, a wardrobe and a desk, the 90cm width is the main reason to stay at a UK single rather than sizing up.
Is the UK single Eco Comfort Airmesh 3000 big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes, at 90 x 190cm it's the standard UK one-person size, and the 190cm length suits most people. You'll feel the width more than the length: there's no room to sprawl, and taller or broader adults may prefer the UK double, which is 45cm wider and the same length.
Is this a good single mattress for a teenager?
A reasonable one, with a caveat. The medium soft boxtop suits lighter bodies, so a teen gets cushioning at the shoulders and hips rather than a hard surface, and the recycled fillings may appeal if sustainability matters to your household. Heavier teens who prefer a firmer, flatter feel might find the plush top a little too forgiving.
Can I put two of these singles in a shared or guest room?
Yes, and it's a sensible setup where guests or siblings may not want to share. Two UK singles at 90cm wide each need a room comfortably larger than our 2.1m x 2.8m single-bed minimum, so measure with a walkway between the beds in mind.
