Small Single Mattresses

A small single mattress is the perfect choice when floor space is at a premium. Measuring 75cm x 190cm (2ft 6in x 6ft 3in), this size is 15cm narrower than a standard single. It is specifically designed to fit into smaller bedrooms, box rooms, or guest spaces where every centimetre counts. Despite the compact width, we ensure that these mattresses offer the same high level of comfort and structural integrity as our larger models.

Our collection is ideal for a variety of uses. Whether you are looking for a first "big bed" for a toddler, a mattress for a Bunk bed, or a solution for a narrow spare room, our 2ft 6in range provides a supportive and restful sleeping surface.

High-performance support in a compact size

Individually pocketed spring technology

Just because a mattress is smaller does not mean it should offer less support. We use precision-engineered pocket springs to ensure a high-quality sleep.

Responsive body contouring: Each spring works independently to support the sleeper's weight. This is particularly beneficial for growing children, as it provides targeted support for the spine and joints.
Silent and stable: The independent nature of the springs means the mattress remains quiet and stable, even if the sleeper moves frequently during the night.

Luxury comfort layers for a better rest

We use premium materials to create a comfortable environment that promotes deep sleep.

Breathable upholstery: Our small single mattresses are layered with high-quality fibres that allow for excellent airflow. This helps to regulate body temperature and keeps the mattress fresh.
Pressure-relieving options: You can choose from a variety of comfort depths, including traditional fillings or modern memory foam that contours to the body for a weightless sensation.

Durability and hand-finished quality

Every small single mattress is built to last. We apply the same handcrafted techniques to these compact models as we do to our Super King mattresses.

Reinforced borders: We strengthen the edges of the mattress to prevent sagging. This ensures the sleeper feels supported even when close to the edge of the 2ft 6in width.
Traditional hand tufting: Hand-tufted buttons secure the internal fillings, preventing them from shifting over time and maintaining a consistent level of comfort for years.

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.

What is the difference between a single and a small single mattress?

A standard Single mattress is 90cm (3ft) wide. A small single is 75cm (2ft 6in) wide. Both mattresses are the same length, 190cm (6ft 3in). The small single is specifically designed for narrower bed frames, helping save space in compact rooms.

Will a small single mattress fit a bunk bed?

Yes, most bunk beds are designed to fit either a standard single or a small single mattress. If you have a Small single bunk bed, this 2ft 6in mattress is the required size. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for the top bunk to ensure the mattress is not too deep for the safety rails.

What size bedding do I need for a 2ft 6in mattress?

You will need small, single, specific fitted sheets to ensure a snug fit. However, most people find that a standard single duvet works perfectly on a small single bed, as it provides a little extra drape over the sides for added warmth.

Is this mattress suitable for an adult?

Yes, while they are very popular for children, our small single mattresses are built with high-quality components that can comfortably support an adult. They are a great solution for narrow guest rooms or for use in a holiday home with limited space.
