A single bed mattress size to suit your space

A standard single mattress measures approximately 91.5 cm x 190cm. It’s important to note that the exact size can vary depending on the finishing. This size makes single mattresses a compact option that provides a comfortable sleep surface for one person. A popular choice for many, it works well in smaller rooms or for children transitioning to their first mattress. 

For taller individuals, or those who desire extra legroom, our long single mattress is an ideal choice. Measuring 91.5 cm x 203 cm, it maintains the width of a standard single mattress, while offering additional length, ensuring a sleep experience that’s sprinkled with a bit of extra comfort. 

Finally, a king single mattress is a great option for anyone who wants to maximise comfort. At 105.5 cm x 203 cm, it provides extra width and length for stretching out while still maintaining the convenience of a single bed size.

Single Mattress FAQ

Is a single mattress OK for an adult?

Yes, a single mattress is completely fine for an adult. While they are a popular choice for children, many adults find them comfortable and convenient, especially solo sleepers or those in smaller living spaces. There is also a range of different feels from plush to a firm single mattress. While it ultimately comes down to personal preference, single beds can provide a cosy and restful sleep experience for anyone who prefers a compact sleeping arrangement. 

Is a single bed too small?

A single bed typically provides enough space for a single adult sleeper, but determining its suitability ultimately comes down to individual needs and preferences. For instance, taller individuals, or those who desire more room to move during sleep, may prefer a king single or a larger-sized bed. Considering factors such as personal comfort, body size and sleeping habits can help determine whether a single bed is right for you. 

How many people can sleep on a single mattress?

A single mattress is designed to accommodate one person comfortably (and it does that mighty well). Anything beyond that limits space and sleep comfort, so if you’re looking to accommodate multiple sleepers, opt for a larger mattress size, such as a double, queen or king.
