Layer Details
- Cover. A micro-quilted knitted Soft as Silk fabric, which gives a gently padded surface feel straight away. The quilting adds a touch of softness before you reach the firmer layers beneath.
- Cushioning foam. A layer of high-grade Reflex foam sits under the cover, offering temperature-controlled pressure relief. In practice, that means cushioning at your shoulders and hips without the heat build-up some foams create.
- Support. Pocket springs form the core, with 1000 springs in the king size, each moving independently to follow your shape and limit motion transfer. DynamicEdge® active side support reinforces the edges, so the full sleep surface stays usable.

- Leaves floor space free: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, the UK single fits alongside a wardrobe and a desk, which means a child's room still has space for play and homework.
- Firm support for one: The firm feel suits back and front sleepers and heavier builds, so a growing teenager who sleeps on their back gets steady, no-sink support.
- Usable right to the edge: DynamicEdge® side support firms up the perimeter, which matters on a narrow UK single because a sleeper can use the full width without feeling close to rolling off.
- Works under a sloping ceiling: The narrow footprint lets you tuck the bed along the low side of a loft conversion, leaving the taller part of the room for standing and storage.
- Practical for guest rooms: Two UK singles side by side give visiting friends or siblings a firm bed each, and the room can still hold a walkway between them.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and like a firm, supportive bed, or you're furnishing a teenager's room, a study that sometimes hosts guests, or a compact first flat where a 3ft wide bed leaves space for everything else.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed regularly or like room to spread out. The UK small double would suit you better: it is 30cm wider, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space.

Will the Sleep Story Luxury Firm UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The width and length match a standard UK single frame, but the mattress is 26cm deep. Raised frames usually set a maximum mattress depth so the safety rail stays high enough, so check the frame maker's guidance against 26cm before you buy.
Is the Sleep Story Luxury Firm UK single too firm for a child?
It depends on the child. A teenager, a heavier build or a back or front sleeper will usually get on well with the firm support. A small, light child who sleeps on their side may feel extra pressure at the shoulders and hips, so a softer mattress could suit them better.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK single Sleep Story Luxury Firm?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to get in and out of bed and to open a wardrobe or pull out a desk chair. In a smaller room, putting the bed against a wall gives you the most usable floor.
Should I get the Sleep Story Luxury Firm in a UK single or a UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and the two are the same length. If one adult wants more room to turn over, or a child is likely to outgrow a narrow bed, the UK small double is the better choice. We suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Is a Sleep Story Luxury Firm 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 you're tall and your feet reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer, but it is also 60cm wider, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
