Layer Details
- Fits where space is tight: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, this single leaves room for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom, or slots under a loft conversion slope.
- Pocket springs at a low price: Independent springs respond to the sleeper's body, which means a teenager or guest gets shaped support rather than the flat feel of most budget singles.
- Practical for shared rooms: Two UK singles with a walkway between suit siblings sharing a room, or a guest room set up for visitors who'd rather not share a bed.
- An easy student or first-flat buy: If your accommodation provides the frame but the mattress needs replacing, this is a low-cost, recognisable brand in the exact size most student beds take.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and a standard 135 x 200cm single duvet are the most widely stocked and cheapest bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want a step up from open coil springs without spending much, you need a straightforward mattress for a spare room or study that doubles as guest space, or you're kitting out a student room or first flat where the frame is provided and the budget is small.
Consider another size if...
You're a single adult who spreads out in your sleep, or you're furnishing a guest room where couples will stay. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider and the same length; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

Is the Silentnight Essentials 600 Mirapocket UK single a good choice for a child's room?
It suits this use well. The 90 x 190cm footprint leaves floor space free for storage and a desk in a smaller bedroom, and the pocket springs give a growing child better shaped support than the open coil units common at this price. Silentnight is a long-established UK name, which adds some reassurance for a low-cost buy.
Will the Silentnight Essentials 600 single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm width and length match standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. Raised frames often set a maximum mattress depth for safety rails, though, and Silentnight doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so check the retailer listing and your frame's guidance before buying.
What room size do I need for the Silentnight Essentials 600 in a UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. Because the single is the narrowest standard UK size, it also works where other sizes can't, such as under the slope of a loft conversion or in a study that doubles as a guest room.
Should I buy a single or a double for a spare room?
It depends on who stays. If guests usually visit alone, or you host two people who'd prefer separate beds, singles make sense and leave space for a desk. If couples stay, the UK double would suit you better: 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 a UK single big enough for an adult on this mattress?
At 90cm wide and 190cm long, it works for most single adults of average build, and it's the standard size in student rooms and first flats. Taller adults or anyone who moves around a lot at night may feel restricted. In that case the UK double, 45cm wider and the same length, is the more comfortable long-term choice.
