Let $q > 1$ be a real number and let $m=m(q)$ be the largest integer smaller than $q$. It is well known that each number $x \in J_q:=[0, \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} m q^{-i}]$ can be written as $x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}{c_i}q^{-i}$ with integer coefficients $0 \le c_i < q$. If $q$ is a non-integer, then almost every $x \in J_q$ has continuum many expansions of this form. In this note we consider some properties of the set $\mathcal{U}_q$ consisting of numbers $x \in J_q$ having a unique representation of this form. More specifically, we compare the size of the sets $\mathcal{U}_q$ and $\mathcal{U}_r$ for values $q$ and $r$ satisfying $1< q < r$ and $m(q)=m(r)$.
