Layer Details
Silky viscose cover
A soft, plant-derived viscose cover with invisible tufting, which keeps the surface smooth. You get a sleek feel under you without the dips and ridges that visible tufting can leave.
Hampshire wool cushioning layer
A quilted layer of soft, springy Hampshire wool, designed for cushioned comfort and cooling breathability. It gives you some softness on top and helps air move, which should suit you if you tend to run warm.
British wool comfort layer
A second quilted layer of soft British wool that adds to the comfort and breathability above the springs. It means the cushioning comes from natural wool rather than foam.
Aerocoil spring support layer
Up to 1,900 conical Aerocoil micro springs in a king size, designed to give responsive pressure relief while limiting motion transfer. You get a bit of give where your body presses in, and a partner's movement should travel less.
British wool stability layer
An extra layer of wool sits between the two spring layers to keep air flowing and support durability. You won't feel it directly, but it helps the inside of the mattress breathe.
Aerocoil spring base layer
A further 1,900 patented, conical Aerocoil micro springs towards the base, which work to give responsive, accurate support. This second spring layer helps the mattress hold you steadily beneath the softer upper layers.
British wool support layer
A last layer of British wool above the sprung base, designed to help with stability and keep the mattress breathable. It acts as a natural buffer between the springs and the layers above.
CoreMax sprung base
Up to 1,000 high carbon steel springs in a king size, arranged in seven support zones with a reinforced frame. The zoning is meant to keep your body aligned, and the reinforced frame should help limit that roll-off feeling at the edges.

Key benefits
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide it leaves room for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a small bedroom; we suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space.
- Natural materials for a growing sleeper: The plant and animal derived comfort layers breathe better than synthetic foams, which matters in a child's or teenager's room that runs warm in summer.
- A proper mattress for one adult: Medium firm support in the full 190cm length suits a single adult in a first flat or student room, rather than feeling like a stopgap children's bed.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Single fitted sheets and duvets are the most widely stocked of any size, and standard deep fitted singles will cover the 30cm depth.
- Guest ready: In a spare room that doubles as an office, or one set up with two single beds, the 90cm width keeps a walkway clear between furniture.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child or teenager and want natural materials in the bed they sleep on every night, you're a single adult furnishing a compact room or first flat, or you're setting up a guest room where floor space matters more than sleeping space. The 90 x 190cm footprint fits almost any UK bedroom.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed, or you're a restless solo sleeper who wants space to spread out. The Simba Natural Hybrid Escape isn't made in a UK small double, so we'd recommend the UK double instead.

FAQ's
Is the Simba Natural Hybrid Escape single too deep for a bunk bed?
Possibly. This mattress is 30cm deep, which is taller than many bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames allow, because the guard rail needs to sit well above the mattress surface. Measure from the base to the top of the rail before buying, and check the frame maker's maximum mattress depth.
What size room do I need for a UK single Simba Natural Hybrid Escape?
The mattress itself is 90 x 190cm, and we suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space so you can walk around the bed and open drawers or wardrobe doors. That makes it workable in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint, and children's rooms where the bed competes with storage.
How much narrower is the UK single than the UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and 60cm narrower than the UK king. If two children are sharing one room, two UK singles with a walkway between them will usually fit where a larger bed plus a second bed would not.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
For one adult, yes. At 90cm wide and 190cm long it's the standard UK one-person size, and the medium firm tension gives proper support rather than a child's-bed feel. Taller adults, or anyone who sprawls in their sleep, may prefer the extra length and width of the UK king.
Is the single a sensible choice for a spare room?
It works well where the room does double duty. A single bed leaves space for a desk in a spare room used as an office, and two singles suit hosts who prefer separate beds for guests. Compare the retailers listed on this page, as prices shown here are updated as retailers change them.
