Layer Details
- Cover. A stretch damask cover, which means the surface flexes with the layers beneath rather than pulling tight across them. It's a soft, traditional-feeling finish.
- Fillings. Foam and fibre fillings sit beneath the cover. These give a slightly cushioned surface feel before you reach the firm spring support below.
- Spring system. The AdvantEdge® pocket spring system uses 2,000 springs in a king size, each moving independently, which means support is tailored across your whole body rather than delivered in one rigid plane. It's designed to support you right across the sleep surface.
- Side support. DynamicEdge active side support reinforces the perimeter, which means you can sleep or sit right at the edge without it giving way. Useful if you share the bed and need every inch of width.

- A slim footprint for busy rooms: At 3ft wide, the UK single leaves space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
- Firm edges on a narrow bed: DynamicEdge side support reinforces the perimeter, which means a solo sleeper can use the full 90cm without the edge dipping, so the bed feels less cramped.
- A steady base for growing backs: Independent pocket springs keep the spine level, which suits a teenager who sleeps on their back or front and likes a solid, supportive surface.
- Allergy-friendly for kids and guests: The hypoallergenic filling is a sensible choice for a child's bed or a guest room where you cannot predict who will be sleeping on it.
- A deep mattress for a standard frame: The 30cm depth gives a substantial feel on a divan or bedstead, although you should check the maximum mattress depth of any raised frame first.
This size suits you if...
You're choosing a bed for one person in a smaller room, perhaps a teenager who sleeps on their back or front and wants firm support, or you're furnishing a spare room that doubles as a study, where a narrow bed keeps the desk area clear.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed or want room to sprawl out. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.

Is the Sleep Story Ortho 2000 UK single too deep for a bunk bed?
It may be. The UK single is 30cm deep, which is on the thick side for raised frames, because a deeper mattress sits higher against the safety rail. Before ordering, check the maximum mattress depth your bunk, cabin or mid sleeper maker specifies, and choose a different mattress for that frame if 30cm goes beyond it.
Is the Ortho 2000 UK single too firm for a child?
For many younger children, probably yes. It is an extra firm mattress, and lighter sleepers, especially those who lie on their side, may find it too hard because their shoulders and hips don't sink in enough. For an older child or teenager who sleeps on their back or front, the firm support is more likely to suit.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK single Sleep Story Ortho 2000?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves room to walk round the bed and still fit furniture such as a desk or chest of drawers, which is useful in a child's room or a spare room used as a home office.
Is a UK single Ortho 2000 long enough for an adult?
At 190cm long, the UK single suits most adults sleeping alone. If you're tall and your feet reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer, although it is also 60cm wider, so we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space for the UK king.
Should I get the Ortho 2000 in a UK single or UK small double for a guest room?
A UK single keeps the room open, while the UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length, which gives a solo guest more room to stretch out. 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.
