Layer Details
- Quilted sleep surface. A soft quilted top with a breathable airflow border, which means air can circulate through the mattress rather than heat building up. It gives the sleep surface a gently cushioned feel.
- British Wool. A layer of premium British Wool, a naturally breathable fibre that wicks moisture and helps regulate temperature. Your child should feel fresher through the night, particularly in warmer months.
- Pocket springs. 600 individual Mirapocket® springs adapt to your child's posture and let them move freely while staying supported. The zoned design is, Silentnight states, scientifically proven to improve spinal alignment and posture.

- Fits a busy child's room: At 90cm wide, a UK single leaves room for a wardrobe, a desk and toy storage even in a smaller bedroom.
- Full-length growing room: The 190cm length carries a child from primary school well into their teens, so you shouldn't need to size up as they grow taller.
- Support in a child's size: The 600 Mirapocket springs adapt to your child's posture, which means they get the tailored support of an adult mattress in a single footprint.
- Two singles for sharing siblings: The narrow footprint means two beds plus a walkway can fit in one shared room, something wider sizes rarely allow.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked and lowest-priced of any UK size, which matters when children's bedding needs frequent washing.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager moving up from a cot bed or a smaller frame, you want a natural, foam-free build in the standard children's size, or you're kitting out a shared siblings' room where two 90cm-wide beds need to fit with space to walk between them. It also suits a compact bedroom where the bed shares space with a desk and wardrobe.
Consider another size if...
You need any size other than a UK single, since this mattress isn't made in one. An older teen wanting more width, or a guest room for couples, will need a different mattress in a UK double.

Will the Silentnight Healthy Growth single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard UK bunk and mid sleeper frames. The one thing to check is depth: at 27cm this is a full-height mattress, and raised frames often specify a maximum so the guard rail still sits above the sleep surface. Measure from the base to the rail top before ordering.
What room size do you need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves enough clearance to walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors, though in a child's room you'll likely want more than the minimum once a desk and toy storage go in too.
Does the Silentnight Healthy Growth Starry Natural come in a double?
No, it's made in a UK single only, which reflects its design as a children's mattress. If your teenager has outgrown a single or you want it for a shared adult bed, you'll need a different mattress in a wider size such as a UK double at 135 x 190cm.
What bedding fits the Silentnight Healthy Growth in a UK single?
Standard UK single fitted sheets, sized for a 90 x 190cm mattress, and a single duvet at 135 x 200cm. Given the mattress is 27cm deep, look for fitted sheets with a deeper box so the corners stay put overnight, particularly with a wriggly sleeper.
Is a UK single long enough for a teenager?
Usually, yes. At 190cm, a UK single is the same length as a UK double, so most teens have length to spare well into their late teens. It's width that tends to prompt an upgrade, and since this mattress only comes in a single, a very tall or broad teen may eventually need a different model.
