Layer Details
- Cover. A QuickRefresh™ cover with SmartCool™ technology, designed to help the surface of the mattress feel cooler to the touch. It sits directly against you, so it shapes the first impression of the mattress each night.
- Filling. TEMPUR® Advanced Material, the brand's signature slow-response foam. It softens with body heat and moulds to your shape, which means pressure is spread evenly rather than concentrated at the hips and shoulders.

- Fits where bigger sizes can't: At 90cm wide it leaves room for a desk, wardrobe or toy storage in a child's bedroom where the bed already competes for every inch.
- Full pressure relief for one: TEMPUR® Advanced Material moulds to a single sleeper's shape, which means hips and shoulders get even support without a partner's movement ever being a factor.
- Suits raised frames: At 21cm deep it sits lower than many premium mattresses, useful on bunks, cabin beds and mid sleepers where the guard rail sets a depth limit.
- A guest bed people remember kindly: In a spare room that doubles as an office, the UK single keeps the floor usable while giving occasional guests a genuinely comfortable surface.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm duvet fit, and both are the most widely stocked and least expensive bedding of any UK size.
- Cooler surface, small footprint: The SmartCool™ cover is designed to feel cooler to the touch than traditional memory foam, which matters for teenagers who run warm at night.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want deep pressure relief in a room where a UK double simply wouldn't fit, perhaps a loft conversion with the bed tucked under the slope. Or you're kitting out a teenager's room, or a guest room set up as two single beds rather than one large one, and want a mattress that outlasts a budget foam by years.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who spreads out at night, or two of you will ever share it. We'd recommend the UK small double for a solo sleeper wanting more width, or the UK double for couples.

Will the UK single Tempur Pro SmartCool fit a bunk bed?
In width, yes: UK bunks and mid sleepers take a standard 90 x 190cm single. Check depth against your frame's guard rail, though. At 21cm this mattress is slimmer than many premium foams, but some cabin beds specify a maximum depth below that, so measure from the base to the top of the rail before buying.
Is the Tempur Pro SmartCool UK single a good choice for a child?
The size is right, 90 x 190cm is the standard for children's rooms, and the slow-response foam offers gentle, even support. It is a serious spend for a child's bed, though, and some children find the moulding feel unusual at first. For a teenager who'll use it for years, the case is stronger.
What room size do I need for a single Tempur mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, which gives you a walkway and space for the door to open. That makes it workable in box rooms, loft conversions with a narrow footprint, and spare rooms where a desk shares the space with the bed.
Can two UK singles work instead of one double in a guest room?
Yes, and it's a flexible setup: two 90cm singles can be pushed together for a couple or separated for friends or siblings staying over. Each is 45cm narrower than a UK double on its own, so guests sleeping solo actually get a proper bed each rather than sharing one surface.
Where can I buy the Tempur Pro SmartCool in a single?
Stock moves around, so the most reliable answer is the live comparison table on this page, which is updated as retailers change their prices and availability. It's a slightly less common size for a premium foam mattress than the UK double or UK king, so it's worth checking back if it looks scarce.
