Layer Details
- A soft feel that suits lighter sleepers: Lighter bodies often find medium mattresses too firm, so the soft cushion top pairs well with the one-person size most teens and smaller adults actually buy.
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide it leaves floor space free in a child's room that also has to hold a wardrobe, a desk and toy storage.
- Works in a spare room that earns two jobs: A single tucked against the wall keeps a home office usable during the week and still gives guests a gentle, cradling surface.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
- Room for two beds: In a shared siblings' room or a twin guest setup, two UK singles plus a walkway fit where one larger bed would dominate.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child, a teenager or a lighter adult who sleeps on their side and prefers sinking in a little rather than lying on top of the bed. It also makes sense if the room is small, if two beds need to share the space, or if you want a soft, affordable option for a spare room without giving the whole floor over to it.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who wants space to spread out, or a restless sleeper who shifts around at night. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it's 30cm wider, the same length, and needs a room of at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

Is a UK single big enough for an adult on this mattress?
For one lighter adult who sleeps fairly still, yes. At 90cm wide it gives you the standard one-person width, and the soft cushion top suits side sleepers. If you move around a lot at night, the UK small double is 30cm wider, the same length, and needs at least 2.4m x 2.8m of room.
Will the Silentnight Rio single fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The footprint matches standard UK frames at 90 x 190cm, so width and length are fine. Depth is the thing to check: raised frames have a maximum mattress height marked on the guard rail, and Silentnight doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so confirm with the retailer before you buy for a bunk.
Is a soft mattress like this suitable for a child's single bed?
For older children and teens who sleep on their side, a soft, cushioned surface can work well, and lighter bodies don't sink in as far as adults do. Very young children generally do better on a firmer surface, so for a first big bed you may want a firmer single than this one.
How much room does a UK single mattress need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which is why the UK single is the usual pick for box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint and children's bedrooms. That leaves enough space to walk round the bed and open drawers without squeezing past.
