Layer Details
- Cover. A QuickRefresh™ cover with SmartCool™ technology, designed to keep the sleep surface feeling cooler. This tackles the heat retention that dense foam mattresses are sometimes known for.
- Filling. TEMPUR® Advanced Material, a slow-responding foam that moulds to your body under weight and warmth. This gives close pressure relief, which means less push-back on hips and shoulders than a springier surface.

- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide it leaves floor space free around it, which matters in a child's room where the bed competes with a desk and wardrobe.
- A sensible depth for raised frames: The 21cm depth is on the shallower side for a premium foam mattress, useful if a bunk or mid sleeper's guard rail sets a limit.
- Pressure relief for one: TEMPUR® Advanced Material moulds slowly to your body, which means less push-back on hips and shoulders, welcome for a solo side sleeper.
- Cooler surface for a small bed: The SmartCool™ cover is designed to keep the surface cooler, and with only one sleeper generating warmth it has an easier job.
- Guest-room friendly: A medium feel suits most sleeping positions, sensible when you can't predict which way your occasional guests prefer to sleep.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for one sleeper, a teenager moving up from a children's bed, a student heading to a first flat where the frame is provided, or yourself in a room where a wider bed simply won't go. It also suits a spare room set up with two singles rather than one double, giving guests a proper mattress on the few nights a year it's used.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sleeps alone but finds 90cm of width restrictive, especially if you move around in the night. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, which gives you noticeably more room without dominating the floor plan.

Will the UK single Tempur Pro SmartCool fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The footprint is the standard 90 x 190cm, so it fits standard UK single frames, including bunks and mid sleepers. The mattress is 21cm deep, which is relatively slim for a premium foam model, but raised frames set a maximum depth so the guard rail still does its job. Check your frame's stated limit before ordering.
Is a UK single big enough for an adult?
At 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in, a UK single works for most adults sleeping alone, particularly in a compact room, a loft conversion with a narrow footprint, or a student let. If you're broad-shouldered or a restless sleeper, the UK small double, which is 30cm wider than the UK single, is a more comfortable long-term choice.
What room size do you need for a single Tempur Pro SmartCool?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. In a shared children's room with two singles and a walkway between them, measure carefully; the mattress itself is 90cm wide, but it's the space around each bed that decides whether the layout works.
Is the Tempur Pro SmartCool Medium worth buying in a single for a teenager?
It's a serious spend for a child's bed, and younger children are unlikely to notice the difference. For a teenager who'll use it for years, the pressure-relieving TEMPUR® Advanced Material and medium feel make sense, especially for side sleepers. The prices shown on this page update as retailers change them, so compare before deciding.
How much smaller is the UK single than a UK double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and both share the same 190cm length. That extra width matters if two people share the bed, but for one sleeper the UK single frees up meaningful floor space, which is often the deciding factor in a box room or a spare room doubling as an office.
