Layer Details
- Upholstery. The comfort layers are made exclusively from natural fillings: bonded and blended British fleece wool with cotton, encased in high-quality ticking. It's hand-tufted with felt washers, which keeps the fillings anchored so the surface stays even over time.
- Springs. Beneath the upholstery sits a single layer of 1,558 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets. Because each spring moves independently, you get support that follows your shape and less disturbance from a restless partner.
Layer details from vispring.com product page, September 2026.
- Room left for everything else: At 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in, it leaves space for a desk and wardrobe, and we suggest a room of at least 2.1m x 2.8m.
- Tension set for one person: You can pick Soft, Medium, Firm or Extra Firm springs, which means a single can be matched to one sleeper's weight and position with no compromise for a partner.
- Cooler in a small, warm room: The wool and cotton fillings let heat and moisture escape, which helps in a box room or loft conversion where warm air tends to collect.
- A guest room that sleeps two apart: A pair of UK singles lets friends or siblings who don't share a bed each sleep on their own pocket springs, with no roll-together in the middle.
- Plan for the domed top: It is 21cm deep plus 6cm of doming, give or take 2cm, so a raised frame's guard rail needs checking against the full height before you order.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone in a compact bedroom or loft conversion, or you're furnishing a teenager's room or spare room and want natural wool and cotton fillings on a 90 x 190cm footprint.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed most nights or want more room to spread out. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Will a Vispring Dartington UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
It matches the 90 x 190cm base of a standard single frame, but the height needs checking. The Dartington is 21cm deep plus 6cm of doming, give or take 2cm, so compare the full height with the frame maker's maximum mattress depth and guard rail guidance before buying.
What size bedroom do I need for a Vispring Dartington UK single?
We suggest at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space. That leaves room to walk around the bed, open a wardrobe and fit a desk, which matters in a child's room or a spare room that doubles as a study.
Is a UK single Vispring Dartington long enough for an adult?
It is 190cm long, or 6ft 3in, which suits most single adults. If you are tall and like room beyond your feet, the UK king is 10cm longer, although we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.
Should a teenager have the Dartington in a UK single or a UK small double?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double, and the two are the same length. If the room allows at least 2.4m x 2.8m, a UK small double gives a growing teenager more width to sprawl. In a tighter room, the UK single keeps floor space free.
Can a Vispring Dartington UK single go in a loft conversion?
Yes, its narrow footprint lets it sit along a sloping wall where a wider bed would not. Allow for the domed top when you measure headroom, because the surface sits a little higher than the 21cm base depth, and the breathable wool fillings help under a warm roof.
