Layer Details
- Belgian Damask Viscose Sleep Surface. A silky, breathable damask cover, which means the sleeping surface stays fresher through the night. It feels smooth rather than synthetic.
- Silk. A light, soft silk layer sits at the top of the fillings. It adds a gentle, luxurious feel to the first point of contact.
- Sustainably Sourced British Wool. Wool provides gentle cushioning with impressive resilience, which means it keeps its comfort over time rather than flattening quickly. It also breathes well.
- Cotton. Cotton helps regulate body temperature, so you're less likely to overheat. It adds a little extra support and natural comfort too.
- Cashmere. Cashmere is softer and finer than wool and is a rare filling, generally reserved for quality mattresses. It contributes to the plush surface feel above the firm support.
- 2000 Pocket Springs. Each of the 2000 springs sits in its own fabric pocket and works independently, which means better pressure relief and less disturbance when a partner moves. This layer is where the extra firm support comes from.

- A small footprint: At 3ft x 6ft 3in, the UK single leaves room for a desk and wardrobe in a child's or teenager's bedroom, so the bed doesn't take over the floor.
- Firm support for one: The 2000 independent pocket springs carry a single sleeper evenly, which means a back or front sleeper stays well supported without sinking into the middle.
- Fresher for warm sleepers: Wool and cotton fillings help regulate temperature, which helps in a small room where a warm body and closed door can make the air feel stuffy.
- A softer first touch: Silk and cashmere sit above the springs, so a guest lying down for the first time meets a gentler surface than the extra firm rating suggests.
- Pairs up in a guest room: Two UK singles side by side let a spare room host two friends or siblings in separate beds, with nobody feeling their neighbour move.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone, mostly on your back or front, and want a genuinely firm surface. It also fits a teenager's room where floor space is shared with a desk, or a spare room that works as an office most of the week.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner, or a young, light side sleeper will use it. For couples, we'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Can the Solace 2000 UK single go on a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
Check carefully first. The Solace 2000 is 31cm deep, and bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames usually set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to stop a sleeper rolling off. Look up your frame maker's limit. If it is below 31cm, this mattress is too tall for that bed.
Is an extra firm UK single mattress suitable for a child?
It depends on how they sleep. Children are light, and lightweight side sleepers will likely find this mattress too hard on their hips and shoulders. An older child or teenager who sleeps on their back or front is a better match, as they'll get the firm support without the pressure.
What size room do I need for a Solace 2000 UK single?
The mattress measures 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space, which leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers in a small bedroom or box room.
Will normal single fitted sheets fit the Solace 2000 UK single?
The width and length match standard single bedding, but the depth may not. At 31cm, this mattress is taller than many everyday sheets allow for, so a shallow fitted sheet can struggle to stay tucked at the corners. Look for single sheets labelled deep or extra deep.
Is the Solace 2000 UK single long enough for a tall teenager?
The UK single is 190cm long, the same length as the UK double. A teenager who is already close to that height may find their feet near the end. The UK king is 10cm longer, though it is a much wider bed and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space.
