- Leaves floor space for everything else: We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m for a UK single, which leaves room in a child's bedroom for a desk and a wardrobe alongside the bed.
- Two beds in one shared room: If siblings share, two UK singles can sit against opposite walls with a clear strip of floor between them, something a larger bed would rarely allow.
- Keeps a study usable: Pushed against one wall of a home office, a UK single gives visitors somewhere proper to sleep while the rest of the room stays a workspace.
- Fits under a sloping ceiling: In a loft conversion, the 90cm width lets the bed run along the low side of the room without pushing the sleeper into the slope.
- Bedding that is simple to replace: A standard single duvet at 135 x 200cm fits, which means spare covers for a growing child are easy to find and swap.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want a pocket spring mattress in a compact footprint, or you're furnishing a child's or teenager's bedroom where every bit of floor counts, or you need a guest bed that lets a spare room carry on as a study.
Consider another size if...
You share your bed with a partner most nights. 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.

Will the Spring King Wool Ortho Pocket UK single fit a cabin bed or mid sleeper?
At 90 x 190cm it matches a standard UK single frame. Raised frames usually set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough, and Spring King doesn't publish a depth for this mattress. Ask the retailer for the depth and compare it with the frame maker's limit before ordering.
Is a UK single pocket spring mattress a good choice for a teenager?
For one sleeper, a UK single gives a full 90cm of width, which suits most teenagers comfortably. Pocket springs move independently, which means the mattress responds to a lighter frame rather than sagging as one unit. Spring King doesn't state a firmness, so check that with the retailer if your teenager has a clear preference.
How much narrower is the UK single than the UK double in this mattress?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length. So sizing up buys width rather than legroom. If a taller sleeper needs more length, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK single, although it needs a much larger room.
What size bedroom do I need for a Spring King single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers. In a very small box room you can push the bed against a wall, which frees up a little more usable floor.
Can two UK single mattresses fit in a shared kids' room?
Often, yes, but our 2.1m x 2.8m guidance covers one UK single, not two. Measure the room, allow for both 90cm beds plus a walkway between them, and check that doors and wardrobes still open fully before you buy a pair.
