European Single Mattresses

We understand that many people focus on the bed frame when looking to buy a new bed. Whilst this is of course important from a styling and design point of view, with regards to your comfort, it is the mattress you choose that is by far the most important aspect. Our extensive range of euro single mattresses includes pocket spring, traditional spring, memory foam and latex mattress.

How comfy are euro single mattresses?

• On a very basic level, mattresses can be classified into soft, medium and firm. These have different benefits and are suited to different styles of sleep.
• Soft - Soft euro single mattresses are most suited to those who sleep on their side. This doesn't mean that all side sleepers should choose a soft mattress, but it may be a favourable choice.
• Medium - These are also great for side sleepers, especially medium-soft mattresses. If you often get a numb arm because of your sleep position, a mattress at this comfort level can help. That's because it'll account for the extra weight, allowing you to sleep comfortably all night long.
• Firm - If you sleep on your back or have ever suffered from a sore-back, we recommend a firm euro single mattress. The extra level of support helps to keep your back aligned and can help alleviate any joint-pain come morning.

How big is a euro single mattress?

Available in various designs and styles, our range of single bed mattresses gives you the freedom of choice to ensure you get the right bed for you. This includes our Euro Single Mattresses. Catering to EU sized beds and mattresses, the Euro Single Mattress is 10cm longer than a standard UK single bed. Measuring 90cm x 200cm these mattresses enable you to fully stretch out and are particularly popular with taller people. An extra 10cm doesn't sound like a lot, but it can make the difference! There's nothing worse than your feet dangling off the end of the bed, so if you are of above average height, we recommend considering a euro single.

In terms of length, a euro single is a little over 6ft 5, making them a great option for those who struggle in a standard single. And at just under 3ft wide, they provide more than enough space for a single sleeper.

What are the different types of euro single mattress?

A pocket spring euro single mattress is widely considered to be the best mattress currently available in terms of overall comfort and support. Featuring springs that are covered in protective calico and then sewn into individual pockets, a pocket spring euro single provides excellent support for your body as each coil serves to independently absorb your body weight; thereby contouring to your body shape and creating uniform support. These euro single mattresses are especially good for individuals who sleep on their side as the individual springs compensate for the different pressures this sleeping position places on your spine.

Traditional spring euro single mattresses consist of one long piece of wire coiled into springs. While the design means traditional sprung mattresses are perhaps less supportive than other types, their simple construction also means they are a lighter, more affordable option.

Because of their versatility, euro single beds are used by people of all ages. To reflect this, we also offer a great selection of the very latest euro single latex and memory foam mattresses. Originally developed by NASA, memory foam consists of billions of viscoelastic cells which respond to your body temperature and weight. These mattresses are particularly good for people suffering from joint pain and need strong support as the latex moulds to your individual shape; absorbing your weight and thereby taking pressure of your joints.

Blending natural latex from rubber trees with synthetic latex, single latex mattresses are both breathable and durable. One big advantage of a latex mattress is its natural antimicrobial properties; making it the perfect option for children and those suffering from allergies or asthma.
