Layer Details
- Wool protector pad. A wool protector pad sits at the top for extra comfort. Wool is naturally breathable, which means it helps regulate temperature through the night.
- Natural fillings. Beneath the pad are all-natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. These materials wick moisture away from your body, so you're less likely to overheat.
- Springs. The base is six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico, with 1,254 in the King size. Each pocketed spring moves independently, which means less motion transfer to a partner and support that adapts to your shape.

- Space for the rest of the room: At 90cm wide, the UK single leaves room for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage in a child's bedroom, where a wider bed would crowd everything against the walls.
- Two separate beds for guests: A pair of UK singles lets a spare room sleep two friends or siblings apart, and each mattress can be ordered in a different tension if their weights differ.
- A softer option for lighter sleepers: If a lighter child or teenager sleeps on their side, the soft tension lets the shoulders sink a little further, which means less pressure than a firmer top.
- Fits a loft conversion: The narrow footprint of the UK single can sit along the wall under a sloping ceiling, leaving the full-height part of the room clear for standing and dressing.
- Breathable in a small, warm room: The wool and cotton fillings wick moisture away, which helps in a compact bedroom or study where the air can feel slightly close by morning.
This size suits you if...
You sleep alone and want natural fillings in a compact bedroom, you're furnishing a child's or teenager's room where a desk and storage need space too, or you're fitting out a guest room with two separate beds.
Consider another size if...
You share the bed with a partner most nights. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which gives 67.5cm each for two sharing; we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space for the UK double.

Will a Vispring Traditional UK single fit a mid sleeper or cabin bed?
The UK single is the right footprint for most raised frames, but the mattress is 21cm deep. Bunks, cabin beds and mid sleepers often set a maximum mattress depth so the guard rail stays high enough to be safe. Check the frame maker's guidance before buying for a raised bed.
What size bedroom do I need for a Vispring Traditional UK single?
We suggest allowing at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space for a UK single. That leaves room to walk around the bed and open drawers or a wardrobe, which matters most in a child's bedroom or a box room that also serves as a study.
Is the Vispring Traditional single big enough for an adult?
For one adult sleeping alone, yes. The UK single measures 90 x 190cm, or 3ft x 6ft 3in, which is the standard one-person size. If you're tall and your feet reach the end, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK single, although it is also much wider.
How much narrower is the Vispring Traditional UK single than the double?
The UK single is 45cm narrower than the UK double, and the two are the same length. The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, so it is the step up for couples, while the UK single is designed for one sleeper.
Can I fit two Vispring UK singles in a guest room?
Often, yes, and it gives two guests their own springs and their own choice of tension. Plan for two 90cm-wide beds plus a walkway between them, and measure the room before ordering. You can compare the retailers listed on this page; prices shown here update as retailers change them.
