Layer Details
- Leaves room for everything else: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, the UK single keeps a clear strip of floor for a desk, wardrobe or toy boxes in a smaller bedroom.
- Soft feel for lighter sleepers: The box top is a cushioned layer sewn onto the surface, which means children and slim adults sink in comfortably rather than lying on top.
- Two can fit in one guest room: A pair of UK singles lets a spare room sleep two visitors separately, and the pocket springs give each sleeper a supportive base.
- Suits a room under a sloping ceiling: The narrow UK single footprint can tuck along the low side of a loft conversion, where a wider mattress would push into usable headroom.
- Simple to turn round: Box top designs can't be flipped, only rotated, and a UK single is far easier for one person to swing round than a larger size.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and prefer a softer surface you settle into, or you're kitting out a child's or teenager's room where the bed has to share floor space with a desk and wardrobe. It also fits a spare room that works as an office most of the week.
Consider another size if...
You're an older teen or adult who sprawls and already feels squeezed on a 90cm width. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, which is 30cm wider; allow at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

Is the Silentnight UltraGel 3000 box top single good for a child?
For most children, yes. The soft box top suits lighter bodies, which sink in enough to feel cushioned while the pocket springs underneath provide support. A UK single also leaves room for storage and a desk. It's less suited to a child who sleeps on their front, as soft mattresses can let the hips dip.
Will the UltraGel 3000 single fit a cabin or mid sleeper bed?
The UK single width and length suit these frames, but Silentnight doesn't publish a depth for this mattress. A box top sits higher than a standard surface, so check the frame maker's maximum mattress depth and confirm the guard rail still stands well above the sleeping surface before buying for a raised bed.
How much floor space does a UK single UltraGel 3000 need?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m for a UK single, which gives you room to walk round the bed and open drawers. For two singles side by side in a shared or guest room, plan for a walkway between them as well as the beds themselves.
Is a UK single mattress long enough for a tall adult?
The UK single is 190cm long, the same as the UK small double and UK double. If your feet reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer, though it's also 60cm wider and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space for it.
Should I get a single or small double UltraGel 3000 for a teenager?
If the room is compact, the UK single keeps the floor usable. If your teenager is growing fast or likes to spread out, the UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it. Compare the retailers listed on this page for both.
