Layer Details
- Microquilted cover. A quilted cover made with eco-friendly Tencel®, a natural fabric that helps control moisture, so the surface stays drier through the night. It's also a gentle choice if you have sensitive skin.
- Reflex foam. A layer of Reflex foam, a firmer, more responsive alternative to memory foam. You get cushioning without the slow, sinking feel, which suits people who move around in the night.
- Open coil springs. Open coil springs form the support core, with reinforced sprung edges so you can use the full width of the mattress without the sides collapsing. This is what gives the mattress its firm, supportive feel.

- Leaves room for everything else: At 90 x 190cm, the UK single frees up floor for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a bedroom where the bed would otherwise take over.
- Usable edge to edge: Reinforced sprung edges keep the sides from dipping, which matters more on a UK single because there is no spare width to retreat into.
- Cooler for warm sleepers: The Tencel cover draws moisture away from the surface, so a teenager or student who overheats should wake a little less clammy.
- Suits a spare room office: A UK single fits alongside a working desk, and its firm top gives guests a steady night on the odd occasion they stay.
- No flipping in a tight room: The mattress is non-turn, which helps when a UK single is squeezed against a wall and wrestling it over would be awkward.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and like a firm, supportive surface, you're furnishing a child's or teenager's room where floor space is in short supply, or you need a UK single for a student let or spare room where the frame is already there and only the mattress is missing.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sprawls, changes position a lot or wants room to stretch out. We'd recommend the UK small double instead: it is 30cm wider at the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m.

Will a Sleep Story Cool Sleep single fit a cabin bed or mid sleeper?
The mattress is 27cm deep, which is on the deeper side for a raised frame. Before ordering, check the frame maker's maximum recommended mattress depth, because a deep mattress can reduce how far the guard rail sits above the sleeping surface. For a standard divan or low single frame, the 27cm depth is not a concern.
What size room do I need for a Sleep Story Cool Sleep UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves enough room to walk round the bed and open a wardrobe or drawers, which makes this the easiest size of the Cool Sleep to fit into a box room or a loft conversion with a sloping ceiling.
Is the Sleep Story Cool Sleep single a good choice for a child or teenager?
It can suit an older child or teenager who sleeps warm and likes a supportive feel. The firm open coil build may feel a little unforgiving for a light child who sleeps on their side, though, so a softer option or a topper could be kinder for younger children.
Can I fit two Sleep Story Cool Sleep singles in one bedroom?
Two UK singles are a common setup for siblings sharing or for a guest room that sleeps two friends. Measure the room with both beds and a walkway between them in mind, rather than relying on the single-bed room guidance, because the floor space you need grows with the second bed.
Should I buy the Cool Sleep in a single or a small double for an adult?
A UK single works for an adult who sleeps fairly still and needs to save space. If you move around or like to spread out, the UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length. We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for the UK small double, compared with 2.1m x 2.8m for the UK single.
