Layer Details
- Pocket springs. Individually wrapped steel springs, 267 per square metre, that compress independently under your body. This gives more precise support than connected coils and helps limit motion transfer between partners.
- Standard foam. A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3 density sits above the springs to soften the feel. It cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips without adding much sink.
- Stiff felt. A firm felt layer that protects the foam from the spring unit. It keeps the comfort layer from working its way into the coils, which helps the mattress last.

- Leaves room for everything else: At 90cm wide, the UK single leaves space for a desk, a wardrobe and somewhere to play, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
- A slim profile for raised beds: The 20cm depth keeps the sleeping surface lower on a cabin bed or mid sleeper, although you should always check the frame's own maximum mattress depth first.
- Targeted support for one body: Individually wrapped springs respond to your shoulders and hips separately, which means a growing child or a solo adult gets support shaped to them rather than a sagging middle.
- A comfort layer built to keep its shape: The foam above the springs has a density of 33 kg/m3, which suggests it should resist dipping in the spot where a teenager sleeps every single night.
- Easy to pair in a guest room: Two UK singles side by side let guests who aren't a couple each have their own mattress, and the medium firm feel suits most visitors who stay a night or two.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a child's or teenager's room where the bed has to share space with a desk and storage, or you're furnishing a spare room or student let that needs a supportive mattress for one person. It also suits you if you're buying for a mid sleeper, cabin bed or bunk and want a slimmer mattress.
Consider another size if...
You share a bed with a partner, or you're a light side sleeper who wants a soft feel. For couples we'd recommend the UK double, which gives 67.5cm each; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Ikea Vesteroy UK single suitable for a mid sleeper or cabin bed?
It can be. At 20cm deep it is slimmer than many mattresses, which helps keep the sleeping surface below a raised frame's guard rail. Frames vary, though, so check the bed maker's maximum mattress depth before you order the UK single and make sure 20cm falls within it.
How much floor space do I need for an Ikea Vesteroy UK single?
The mattress itself is 90 x 190cm. We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single, so there is room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe. That makes it a comfortable fit in most box rooms and children's bedrooms.
Is the Ikea Vesteroy in a UK single good for a teenager?
For most teenagers, yes. The medium firm pocket springs give independent support as they grow, and the 33 kg/m3 foam layer should hold its shape with nightly use. A very tall teen may want more length, as the UK single is 10cm shorter than the UK king.
Can two people sleep on a single Ikea Vesteroy?
Not comfortably for more than an occasional night. The UK single is 90cm wide and designed for one sleeper. If two of you share a bed regularly, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
Is the Ikea Vesteroy single a good choice for a guest bed?
It suits most guests well. The medium firm feel works for a wide range of sleepers, although a lightweight side sleeper may find it slightly solid at the shoulder. Two UK singles in a spare room give flexibility for friends, siblings or relatives who would rather not share.
