Layer Details
- Cover. A QuickRefresh cover with SmartCool technology, which means the surface is designed to feel cooler to the touch. It sits on top of the foam and can be freshened up more easily than a fixed cover.
- Filling. TEMPUR Advanced Material, the slow-response foam the brand is known for. It contours closely to your body, which means excellent pressure relief but less of the springy pushback you'd get from a hybrid.

- Fits where space is tight: At 90cm wide, it slots into a loft conversion, a child's room or a spare room that also holds a desk, with floor space left over.
- A sensible depth for raised frames: The 21cm profile is shallower than many premium mattresses, which means it's more likely to sit safely below a bunk or mid sleeper guard rail.
- Soft feel suits lighter bodies: Children, teens and lighter adults tend to get the best from a soft mattress, and this size is exactly where those sleepers usually are.
- Genuine pressure relief for a solo sleeper: TEMPUR Advanced Material moulds slowly to hips and shoulders, which means a side sleeper on their own gets cradled rather than pushed back.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a single duvet fit, the most widely stocked and least expensive bedding of any UK size.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and like a soft, cradling feel, particularly on your side; you're buying for a teenager or older child who has settled into a sleeping position and deserves proper pressure relief; or you're setting up a guest room, perhaps with two UK singles rather than one bigger bed, and want visitors comfortable for a few nights a year.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who moves around at night, because 90cm doesn't leave much room to spread out on slow-response foam. We'd recommend the UK small double instead, which gives a solo sleeper noticeably more width.

Will the Tempur Pro SmartCool Soft UK single fit a bunk bed?
Possibly, but check your frame first. The UK single is 90 x 190cm, the standard footprint for bunks and mid sleepers, and at 21cm deep it's slimmer than many premium foam mattresses. Safety guidance for raised frames sets a maximum depth so the guard rail still does its job, so measure yours before buying.
What room size do I need for a UK single mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That gives you room to walk alongside the bed and open a wardrobe or drawers. In a child's room competing with toy storage and a desk, or under the slope of a loft conversion, the 90cm width is the reason this size fits where others won't.
Is the UK single big enough for an adult?
For one adult who sleeps fairly still, yes. It's 90 x 190cm, and the soft Tempur foam cradles you in place rather than letting you roll about, which suits the narrower width. If you're tall, note the 190cm length, or 6ft 3in. Restless sleepers usually do better sizing up to the UK small double.
Is this a good mattress for a teenager?
It can be, with one caveat: the spend. Teens and lighter bodies suit a soft feel, and the pressure relief is genuinely good for side sleepers, so it's a mattress that could last well into adulthood. It's a premium price for a child's room, though, so it makes most sense if you see it moving with them.
Should I get the UK single or the UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double. Choose the UK single for a child, a bunk frame or a room where every centimetre matters. If it's for an adult sleeping solo in a room with space to spare, the UK small double gives welcome extra width for a modest step up in footprint.
