Layer Details
EcoComfort Fibre layer
A lightweight layer of EcoComfort Fibre, made from recycled plastic, sits at the top for comfort. It gives your child a softer feel over the springs without using foam.
Open coil spring layer
Durable open coil springs spread your child's weight evenly. That gives full body support and a traditional springy feel.

Key benefits
- Fits standard single frames: At 90 x 190cm it matches standard UK single bed frames, so a child aged 3 or over moving up from a smaller bed can use an ordinary single frame.
- A depth you can check: It's 19cm deep, so you can compare that figure with the maximum mattress depth your bunk, cabin or mid sleeper maker gives before you buy.
- Leaves room for a second bed: The narrow 90cm width leaves space for another single and a walkway, which helps when siblings share or a guest room needs two beds.
- Simple bedding: A standard single duvet (135 x 200cm) and single sheets fit, so a spare set for spilled drinks is easy to keep in the cupboard.
- Support along the full length: Open coil springs under a medium feel spread your child's weight across the full 190cm length, which means even support from head to heel as they grow.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a bedroom for a child aged 3 or over, where the bed has to share space with a desk and storage. It also suits you if you're fitting a bunk or mid sleeper and have checked its maximum mattress depth against this mattress's 19cm.
Consider another size if...
Your child is under 3, or they need more than 90cm of width to sleep comfortably. Silentnight makes this mattress in a UK single only, so there's no larger size to move up to.

FAQ's
Will the Silentnight Play kids' mattress fit a bunk bed?
It's a UK single at 90 x 190cm, the usual size for UK bunk beds. Depth is the figure to check. It's 19cm deep, so compare that with your bunk maker's maximum mattress depth for the top bunk, because a deeper mattress lowers how far the guard rail rises above your child.
What size room does a UK single kids' mattress need?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for a UK single. That gives your child space to get in and out of bed and lets the wardrobe doors open freely. If siblings share the room, plan for two singles with a clear walkway between them, and measure the floor before you buy.
Will a UK single fit under a sloping ceiling in a loft conversion?
The 90cm width lets it sit along a low wall, with the 190cm length running parallel to the slope. Measure the ceiling height above where your child's head will be, since they need room to sit up. Remember that the 19cm mattress depth adds to the height of the frame.
What duvet and sheets fit the Silentnight Play UK single?
A standard single duvet at 135 x 200cm and single fitted sheets suit it. Choose fitted sheets with pockets deep enough for a 19cm mattress so the corners stay put. Single bedding is easy to find, which makes keeping a spare set simple for the night a bedtime drink goes over.
Is a UK single kids' mattress big enough for a teenager?
The UK single is the standard one-person size for children and adults alike, at 90 x 190cm. Silentnight designs this mattress for children aged 3 and over. A tall or broad teenager who wants more room would need to look at a UK small double, which is 30cm wider, in another range.
