Single Mattress

The Smart Choice for Solo Sleepers and Compact Rooms

Who is a Single Mattress For

A single mattress — typically measuring 91 cm by 190 cm — is the standard choice for one person sleeping alone. It is the most popular size for children's bedrooms, teenagers' rooms, dormitories, and compact spare rooms where floor space is limited. Single mattresses pair with a wide range of single bed frames, from simple platform designs and bunk beds to loft beds and day beds, making them a versatile foundation for almost any single-occupant sleep setup.

Comfort and Support in a Compact Size

Despite their smaller dimensions, single mattresses are available across the full range of types and firmness levels — from soft memory foam and plush pocket spring options to firm orthopaedic and natural latex designs. Children and teenagers benefit from a medium to firm mattress that supports developing spines, while adult single sleepers can select the firmness that best matches their body weight and sleep position. The same quality and comfort technology found in larger mattresses is fully available in single size.

Getting the Most from Your Single Mattress

To extend the life of your single mattress, rotate it head to foot every three to six months to distribute wear evenly. Always use a quality mattress protector from the first night to guard against spills and allergen build-up. Pair your single mattress with appropriately sized bedding — single sheets, a single quilt, and a standard pillow — for a neat, well-fitted bed that looks polished and performs consistently night after night.
