Ticking
The outer cover is made from soft to the touch, finest quality ticking. It is the surface you'll actually feel through your sheet, so the softness matters more than it might seem.
Hand tufting and side-stitching
The mattress is hand tufted with felt washers, which holds the fillings in place so they settle evenly rather than shifting into lumps. Two rows of hand side-stitching strengthen the border, giving you firmer support right to the edge.
Natural fillings
The fillings are all natural: British fleece wool, bamboo and cotton. Wool in particular regulates temperature well, drawing moisture away so you stay drier through the night.
Pocket springs
Each spring has 6 coils and is hand-nested in its own calico pocket. That means the springs respond to your body individually, so you get support where you press down without disturbing your partner.
Wool protector pad
The 5-foot size contains 1,326 vanadium steel springs, topped with a wool protector pad. The pad cushions the transition between springs and fillings, so you feel support rather than individual coils.
Wool-upholstered borders
The borders are upholstered in wool and include air vents and handles. The vents let the mattress breathe, while the handles make turning it a slightly less awkward job.

Key benefits
- Room for everything else: At 90cm wide, the UK single leaves floor space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom, which means the bed stops dominating the room.
- Two beds, one guest room: If your spare room needs to sleep two friends or siblings separately, a pair of UK singles gives each person their own springs and a walkway between them.
- A cooler bed for teenagers: The fillings are wool, bamboo and cotton with no foam, so a teenager who runs warm at night should find the UK single sleeps a little fresher.
- Firm edges on a narrow bed: Hand side-stitching reinforces the border, which matters more on a UK single because a solo sleeper spends much of the night close to the edge.
- Standard fit for most frames: The 90 x 190cm footprint is the UK default for single frames, so it should drop into an existing bedstead or a provided student frame without gaps.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want natural fillings rather than foam, you're furnishing a child's or teenager's room where floor space is tight, or you're setting up a spare room or study that needs to sleep guests separately.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner, or you sprawl and find 90cm restrictive. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 45cm wider; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Will the Vispring Realm UK single fit a bunk bed or mid sleeper?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard single bunk, cabin and mid sleeper frames. Raised frames also set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to be safe, and a traditional sprung mattress like this can sit deeper than a foam one. Check the depth shown by the retailer against the frame maker's limit before you order.
What size room do you need for a UK single mattress like the Vispring?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open a wardrobe, and in a loft conversion it lets you tuck the bed lengthways under the slope while keeping the full-height side of the room clear.
Is a UK single long enough for a tall adult?
A UK single is 190cm long, the same as a UK small double and UK double. If your feet already press against the end of a standard bed, length rather than width is your problem, and the UK king is 10cm longer. For most adults sleeping alone, 190cm is comfortable.
UK single or UK small double for a teenager?
The UK single is 30cm narrower than the UK small double and the same length. If the room is small or shared with a desk, the UK single keeps more floor free. If your teenager is tall, broad or restless, the UK small double gives more room to turn; we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.
Is a Vispring mattress sensible for a child's single bed?
It depends on how long the bed will be used. Yes, a hand-made natural mattress is a big spend for a young child, but a UK single that moves with them into their teens and then into a guest room is used for years. For a bed they'll outgrow quickly, a simpler mattress may make more sense.
