Layer Details
Damask cover
A genuine damask cover forms the top of the mattress and holds the layers beneath it. It gives you a woven fabric surface to sleep on.
British wool comfort layer (upper)
The first of two natural British wool comfort layers, which sit under the cover. Wool is a natural fibre, so you get a soft, natural cushioning over the firmer layers below.
British wool comfort layer (lower)
A second British wool layer sits beneath the first, adding to the natural filling. Together the two wool layers give the firm feel a little cushioning at the surface.
Polycotton support layer
A polycotton layer sits between the wool and the firmer base. It helps keep the wool filling separate from the foam and springs below.
High density support layer
A high density foam support layer sits above the springs. It gives the springs a firm, even base to work against, which suits the firm feel.
Pocket springs
1,600 individually pocketed springs form the core, with each spring sitting in its own fabric pocket. This is the traditional pocket spring support that gives the mattress its firm feel. The mattress is double sided and turnable, so you can turn it to spread wear.

Key benefits
- Leaves room for everything else: We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m for a UK single, so a child's desk and wardrobe can still share the floor comfortably.
- Fits a standard single frame: At 90 x 190cm it matches the usual UK single frame, which means a provided bed in a first flat or student let should take it.
- Two beds for guests or siblings: Choosing two UK singles over one larger bed lets siblings or visiting friends sleep separately, although you'll need to measure for a walkway between them.
- Suits a narrow loft footprint: A 3ft wide mattress can tuck under a sloping loft ceiling where anything wider would push the bed into the room.
- Easy step up later: The UK small double is the same length and only 30cm wider, so an older teen can move up without the room layout changing much.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a child's or teenager's bedroom where the bed has to share space with storage and a desk, or you're setting up a spare room that works as an office most of the week. It also fits well if you sleep alone in a compact room and a single frame is already in place.
Consider another size if...
You share a bed with a partner, even occasionally. 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.

FAQ's
Will the Sleepeezee Strand Natural UK single fit a mid sleeper or cabin bed?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches a standard UK single frame. Sleepeezee doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, and raised beds such as bunks, cabins and mid sleepers usually set a maximum mattress depth to keep the safety rail effective. Check the frame maker's limit and confirm the depth with the retailer before ordering.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves enough room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe, which matters most in a small child's room or a box room.
Should I get the UK single or UK small double of the Strand Natural for a teenager?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and both are the same length. If your teenager likes to spread out and the room allows at least 2.4m x 2.8m, which is our guidance for the UK small double, the extra width may be welcome. If the room is tight, stay with the UK single.
Is a UK single long enough for a tall teenager?
The UK single is 190cm long, which is 10cm shorter than the UK king. A very tall teenager or adult may find their feet close to the end. If height is the concern rather than width, the UK single won't solve it, so measure against the sleeper before you buy.
Can I fit two UK single mattresses in a guest room or shared kids' room?
Two UK singles suit siblings or guests who'd rather not share, although our 2.1m x 2.8m guidance covers one bed only. With two, you need space for both 90cm wide mattresses plus a clear walkway, so measure the room carefully before ordering a pair.
