Layer Details
- A narrow footprint for tight rooms: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, this size leaves floor free for a desk or wardrobe, which matters in a child's room where the bed competes for space.
- Full hybrid build at one-person width: You get the same springs and comfort layers as the bigger sizes, so a solo sleeper isn't settling for a stripped-back version.
- Medium firm suits growing sleepers: The medium firm feel gives teens and adults proper push-back on their backs and fronts, with enough give for side sleeping.
- A genuinely comfortable guest bed: In a spare room that spends most of the year as an office, the 32cm depth means occasional guests get a proper mattress, slightly indulgent as that may feel.
- Two singles beat one double for siblings: A pair of these fits two children in one shared room with a walkway between, where a wider bed simply wouldn't.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want a premium mattress without paying for width you'd never use, you're upgrading a teenager from a tired starter mattress to something that will last them years, or your spare room doubles as an office and you want the bed guests sleep on to feel like a considered choice rather than an afterthought.
Consider another size if...
You're a single adult who spreads out in the night and finds 90cm restrictive. The Simba Natural Hybrid Apex isn't made in a UK small double, so we'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider.

Will the Simba Natural Hybrid Apex UK single fit a bunk or mid sleeper bed?
Be careful here. At 32cm deep, this mattress is taller than most bunks and mid sleepers allow, because the guard rail needs to sit well above the mattress surface to do its job. Measure from the base to the top of the rail before buying. For most raised children's frames, a slimmer mattress is the safer choice.
Is the UK single Simba Natural Hybrid Apex a good choice for a child or teenager?
For a teenager, yes: the medium firm feel supports a growing body and the build should see them through to adulthood. For a young child it's arguably more mattress than they need, and the depth rules out most cabin and bunk frames. It makes most sense as a long-term buy for an older child's standard bedstead.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress like this?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. Because the UK single is only 90cm wide, it works in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint, and shared children's rooms where two beds need to fit.
How much narrower is the UK single than the UK double in this mattress?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and it's also 60cm narrower than the UK king. That gap is why we only suggest the UK single for one sleeper. If you share the bed, even occasionally, size up. For a solo sleeper in a compact room, though, the saved floor space is the whole point.
