Miracoil zoned spring system
- Fits where space is tight: At 3ft wide, it leaves room for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom, or two beds with a walkway between for siblings sharing.
- Grows with a child: The medium firm feel with zoned Miracoil springs offers firmer support where the body is heaviest, which suits children and teens through years of growth.
- Guest room friendly: In a study that doubles as guest space, a UK single keeps the desk usable while still giving visitors memory foam pressure relief under the pillow top.
- Check the depth on raised frames: The 27cm build is deeper than many basic singles, so measure guard rail height before pairing it with a bunk, cabin or mid sleeper.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and affordable bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's room and want a supportive mattress they won't outgrow quickly, you sleep alone in a compact bedroom or first flat where 90cm of width is the practical limit, or you need a spare room bed that still leaves space for a desk. It also suits a loft room where only a narrow footprint fits under the slope.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sleeps starfished, or you regularly share the bed. The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double at the same length, so we'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

What size is the Silentnight Miracoil Pillow Top in a UK single?
The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. It's the standard one-person size in the UK, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m so you can walk around the bed and open drawers comfortably.
Will the UK single Silentnight Miracoil Pillow Top fit a bunk or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard bunk and mid sleeper frames. The catch is depth: at 27cm, this mattress sits taller than many basic singles, so measure the gap between the base and the top of the guard rail before buying. On a raised frame, the rail needs to clear the pillow top.
Is the UK single Miracoil Pillow Top a good choice for a child's room?
Yes, with one caveat. The zoned springs and medium firm feel give growing backs proper support, and the 90cm width leaves floor space for a desk and storage in a typical child's bedroom. Lighter children may not sink far enough into the memory foam to feel much of its cushioning, though the pillow top still softens the surface.
Should I buy the UK single or the UK double for a spare room?
If the room doubles as an office, the UK single usually wins: the UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length, so you keep space for a desk. If the room only hosts guests, the UK double is more welcoming for couples; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.
Is a UK single wide enough for an adult on this mattress?
For most solo adults, yes. At 90cm wide it's the standard one-person size, and the zoned Miracoil springs support an adult's weight without you rolling towards the edge. Restless sleepers who spread out may prefer more width, in which case the UK small double, 30cm wider at the same length, is a fair compromise; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
