Small Single Mattresses

Small single mattress types:

There are several types of small single mattresses to choose from; each with their very own benefits:

Small single memory foam

Made from viscoelastic, memory foam mattresses soften when in contact with body heat. This ensures you get the right individual form of muscle and spinal support throughout the night. A memory foam small single mattress is especially great for those who move around a lot in their sleep – such as little ones. As they toss and turn, the responsive mattress will react and return to its original shape.

Small single pocket spring

Small single pocket spring mattresses are one of the most popular options for kids’ rooms. They’re made up of hundreds of springs within fabric pockets. Each spring is connected to the mattress unit independently. This innovation means the mattress can adjust to your body shape more accurately, providing plenty of support for a comfortable night’s sleep.

Small single traditional spring

Traditional spring small single mattresses are most popular for guest bedrooms. They provide good levels of comfort and support throughout the night. At reasonable prices, they're great space savers too. As they offer good value for money and convenience, this makes them real all-rounders and particularly useful for guest bedrooms.

Small single TEMPUR

The TEMPUR small single mattress range is made with specially engineered materials. These mattresses will respond to your bodyweight 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. Choosing the right one will greatly improve your chance of having a quality night’s sleep.

Which small single mattress is best for me?

Choosing the best small single mattress for you will depend mostly on your individual sleeping position and your preferred comfort grade. Our range of small single mattress types are available in medium and firm comfort grades.

A medium comfort grade is most suitable for side sleepers. These combine soft cushioning with sturdy support. This allows your body to sink into your mattress whilst keeping your spine aligned.

For those of you who sleep on your front or back you may wish to consider a firm mattress. This is because sleeping in these positions requires additional support for your spine and joints. Firmer mattresses help to alleviate pressure on these while you sleep, allowing you to wake up with less aches and pains.

Are small single mattresses the smallest size available?

For adults, small singles are the smallest size available. Cot and toddler mattresses are smaller but clearly aren't designed for those above a certain age. To learn more, check out our mattress size guide.
