What size is a single mattress?
Single mattresses measure 3 feet wide (90cm) and 6 feet 3 inches long (190cm long). This compact size makes them ideal for smaller rooms, single adults or for older children and teenagers. They come in a variety of depths depending on the material and comfort level you opt for. We also offer a slightly narrower 2ft 6 mattress if required.
Are all single mattresses the same size?
Yes, all standard single mattresses are the same size to ensure they fit universally with single bed frames or single divan bases. If you see a single mattress being advertised which isn’t 3ft x 6ft 3in then the product description will likely specify its specific dimensions and it may instead be a small single.
What is the best single mattress?
The best single mattress for you will depend on your specific requirements, including your body type, sleeping position, sleeping patterns and any potential issues with pain or discomfort, such as back pain.
Single mattresses with natural fillings are very diverse and are appropriate for people who sleep on their back, front or side, have allergies or get too hot at night.
Memory foam, pocket spring or hybrid single mattresses are ideal for any sleeping position and help to provide additional support for those who suffer from back or neck pain.
Soft single mattresses are ideal for those with lighter builds, whereas an extra firm single mattress might be a better choice for someone with a heavier build.
