Single Mattress FAQs

Have a different question? Read our handy
mattress buying guide.

1. What size is a single mattress?

A single mattress in the UK typically measures 90cm wide and 190cm long (3ft wide and 6ft 3in long). This makes it the smallest standard mattress size available and best suited for solo sleeping.

2. Why choose a single mattress?

Thanks to their small size, single mattresses are much better for saving space than other options, and they’re generally much more affordable. Our collection features a range of styles to suit your needs, so whether you prefer single pocket-sprung mattresses or single memory foam mattresses, you’ll be able to sleep in absolute comfort.

3. What is the recommended thickness for a single mattress?

The thickness of a mattress can affect how firm or soft it feels, so it’s an important consideration to make before you buy. A standard single mattress is typically 20-30.5cm (8-12in) thick, which is ideal for back and front sleepers. Side sleepers and heavier individuals, however, may benefit from a thicker mattress of 30.5-51cm (12-20in). Our mattress buying guide will help you find the best tension rating for your sleeping habits.

4. How long does a single mattress last?

If you’re looking to refresh your sleep space, replacing your old mattress could help you get better rest. Experts suggest replacing your mattress every 7-10 years to keep your bed as comfortable as possible, but some materials may have different lifespans. If replacing your mattress doesn’t help, try some of our sleep care essentials to find your best bedtime routine, or read our Christmas sleep report for further advice.
