Single Mattresses

The standard single mattress is an essential piece of furniture for any household. Measuring 90cm x 190cm (3ft x 6ft 3in), it is the universal size for solo sleepers. Whether you are transitioning a child into their first full-sized bed, furnishing a guest room, or choosing a mattress for a day bed, a high-quality single mattress provides the perfect balance of comfort and space efficiency.

Our collection is built with a commitment to durability and orthopaedic support. We understand that a single mattress often sees years of use as a child grows into a teenager, or serves as a welcoming retreat for visiting guests. That is why we use premium materials that maintain their shape and support levels night after night.

Technical craftsmanship for solo sleepers

Advanced pocket spring systems

We believe that solo sleepers deserve the same level of luxury as those in larger beds. Our single mattresses feature high-grade pocket springs.

Independent contouring: Each spring is individually housed in its own fabric pocket. This allows the mattress to react specifically to the sleeper's body shape, providing targeted support for the spine and pressure points.
Consistent support: Because the springs work independently, the mattress provides a stable surface that prevents the sagging often found in cheaper open-coil alternatives.

Quality fillings and climate control

A great night of sleep depends on a comfortable temperature. We use a variety of luxury fillings to ensure a fresh sleeping environment.

Natural wool and cotton layers: These materials are chosen for their excellent breathability. They help to wick away moisture and regulate temperature, ensuring the sleeper remains comfortable throughout every season.
Hypoallergenic options: For those with sensitivities, we offer mattresses with synthetic fillings that provide a clean, healthy sleeping surface without compromising softness.

Hand finished for long term use

Every mattress in our 3ft range is finished by skilled craftspeople.

Deep hand tufting: This traditional method involves securing the comfort layers with functional tufts. It ensures that the fillings do not shift or bunch over time, extending the lifespan of your mattress.
Premium damask and knit covers: We finish our mattresses with high quality fabrics that are soft to the touch and durable enough for daily use.

How do I choose the right mattress firmness?

Here are some factors to consider when determining the ideal firmness level for your mattress: Sleeping Position: Your preferred sleeping position can influence the ideal firmness level of your mattress. Body Weight: Your body weight can affect how much pressure you exert on the mattress and how deeply you sink into it. Personal Preference: Ultimately, the firmness level of your mattress should align with your personal comfort preferences. Some people prefer the plush feel of a softer mattress, while others prefer the firm support of a firmer mattress. Health Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as chronic pain or arthritis, may influence your choice of mattress firmness. In such cases, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for personalised recommendations.

Do mattresses come with a sleep trial?

Yes, typically they come with a sleep trial period, allowing you to try out the mattress in the comfort of your own home before making a final decision. During the sleep trial period, you have the opportunity to sleep on the mattress and determine if it meets your comfort and support needs. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the mattress during the sleep trial period, you may be eligible to return it for a full refund or exchange, subject to the terms and conditions of the sleep trial policy. This allows you to make an informed decision about your mattress purchase without the risk of being stuck with a mattress that doesn't meet your needs. It's essential to review the specific terms and duration of the sleep trial period for the mattress you are interested in, as these details may vary depending on the model and promotional offers available at the time of purchase. Additionally, be sure to follow any instructions regarding the return process to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

How do I care for my mattress?

Here are some general care and maintenance tips: Use a Mattress Protector: Consider using a mattress protector to help prevent spills, stains, and dust mites from penetrating the mattress. A waterproof or water-resistant mattress protector can provide an additional layer of protection against accidents and spills. Keep the Mattress Clean: Vacuum your mattress periodically to remove dust, debris, and allergens that can accumulate over time. Use a handheld vacuum with an upholstery attachment to gently vacuum the surface of the mattress. Spot Clean Stains: If spills or stains occur, spot clean the affected area immediately with a mild detergent and water. Blot the stain with a clean cloth or sponge, taking care not to saturate the mattress. Allow the mattress to air dry thoroughly before replacing the bedding. By following these care and maintenance tips, you can help prolong the life of your mattress and enjoy a comfortable and supportive sleep surface for years to come.

Are mattresses compatible with adjustable bed frames?

Yes, many are compatible with adjustable bed frames, allowing you to customise your sleep position for optimal comfort and support. Adjustable bed frames, also known as power bases or adjustable bases, allow you to elevate or recline different parts of the mattress to achieve your desired sleeping position. When using a mattress with an adjustable bed frame, it's essential to follow any guidelines or recommendations provided by the mattress manufacturer to ensure proper support and functionality. Additionally, be sure to check the warranty terms and conditions to confirm that using the mattress with an adjustable bed frame does not void the warranty coverage. For more Details Read out our Mattress Guide.

Will a single mattress fit on a bunk bed?

Yes, most standard Bunk beds are designed for a 3ft single mattress. If you are purchasing a mattress for the top bunk, please check the safety rail height. We recommend a mattress depth of no more than 15cm to 18cm to ensure the guard rails remain effective.

Is a single mattress big enough for an adult?

A standard 3ft single mattress provides enough space for most adults to sleep comfortably. However, for taller adults, you might consider a King size mattress if space allows, as it offers an extra 10cm of length.

What tension is best for a child?

For growing children, a medium firm tension is often recommended. It provides the necessary support for developing bones and muscles while still offering enough surface comfort for a cosy night of sleep.

How do I protect a single mattress?

To keep your mattress in top condition, we always recommend using a breathable mattress protector. This prevents stains and moisture from reaching the internal fillings, ensuring your Single mattress stays fresh and hygienic for its entire lifespan.
