Small single size mattresses are a type of mattress that are designed for use on a narrow or small bed frame, typically measuring around 75cm wide and 190cm long. They are a popular choice for children's bedrooms, guest rooms, and other small spaces where a full-size bed may not be practical.
Small single mattresses are available in a variety of materials, including memory foam, latex, and traditional innerspring coils. They can also come with different levels of firmness to suit individual preferences and sleeping positions.
One of the benefits of a small single mattress is that it takes up less space than a larger bed, making it ideal for smaller bedrooms or guest rooms. They are also generally more affordable than larger mattresses, making them a great option for those on a budget. All our mattresses also come with free UK delivery.
