Small Single Mattresses

Measuring only 2-foot-6  in width, our small single mattresses provide the great benefits of a singl bed but without the need for its slightly larger size. Because these amazing beds are only 2-foot-6 wide, they are especially good at making the most of small rooms; allowing you to include a bed whilst maximising the space you have and ensuring the room remains clutter-free.

Small single mattresses are particularly great for children. Whether your child is still young and you simply want to give them some extra space when they are sleeping, or they are getting older and you are beginning to think about a bigger bed, a small single bed measuring just 77cm wide could be the ideal solution for you. When it comes to your bed, the mattress is undoubtedly the most important part of your decision. As such, there are many different types of mattress to choose from; each with their very own benefits. Therefore, it is important to know what mattress style is best suited to how you sleep, such as your sleeping pattern and whether you sleep alone or not. In general, there are four main types of mattress; pocket spring, traditional spring, latex and memory foam. But there also options for advanced mattresses, such as our Tempur range. With such a wide variety of small single mattresses, it can be difficult to make the right choice. Read our guide below for some advice on what will suit your sleep style most.

Traditional Spring Small Single Mattress

Traditional spring small single mattresses are most popular for guest bedrooms. They provide good levels of comfort and support throughout the night and are reasonable too. This makes them real all-rounders as great value and convenient for a mattress that’s only going to be used when there are extra guests in the house.

Pocket Spring Small Single Mattress

Small single pocket spring mattresses are one of the most popular options for kids’ rooms. They’re made up of hundreds of springs within the fabric, similar to traditional spring mattresses but it’s how they differ that makes them more popular. Each spring is connected to the mattress fabric independently, meaning the mattress can adjust to the body more accurately.

Memory Foam Small Single Mattress

For a real high quality small single mattress, you can’t do much better than memory foam. Made from viscoelastic, they’re an incredible sleep option as they soften when in contact with heat. This means they’ll respond perfectly to your body, hugging your body evenly and ensuring you get the right form of muscle and spinal support throughout the night. A memory foam small single mattress is especially great for young ones who move around a lot in their sleep. The responsive mattress will persuade them to stay still, meaning they can develop and grow as they should.

Tempur Small Single Mattress

A Tempur small single mattress is similar to memory-foam. With specially engineered materials, these mattresses will respond to your weight and pressure points, providing you with the very best support all night long. There are plenty of different options from Cloud and Hybrid Elite to Contour Supreme and Sensation Luxe. We recommend looking at the independent features of each of these mattresses, as choosing the right one will greatly improve your quality of sleep.

Small single mattresses to suit your budget

The cheapest small single mattresses are usually traditional spring mattresses. They still provide excellent comfort, but their design does mean they’re not quite as supportive as other mattresses. This is because each spring is connected to those at its side, making the mattress a little less responsive than a pocket spring or memory-foam alternative.

Pocket spring mattresses are currently the most popular type of mattress available and are good for those with a budget. They’re available from around £299 and provide great support. These mattresses are also not as hot as some other types; allowing you to stay cooler during the night.

Memory foam are a little more expensive but will have a great benefit to your quality of sleep. If you struggle to sleep or have any muscular or back pain, these and Tempur mattresses are probably your best bet.
