About Small Single Mattresses

Why Choose a Small Single Mattress?

A small single mattress offers a practical solution in situations where space is limited. Ideal for children's rooms, guest rooms, and compact apartments, these mattresses help maximise floor space without sacrificing sleep quality.

• Space Efficiency: Small single mattresses are an excellent choice for rooms where every inch counts.
• Children's Rooms: Transitioning your child from a cot? A small single mattress provides the right size without overwhelming the room.
• Guest Rooms: A small single mattress offers a comfortable bed for guests without dominating space.
• Student and Studio Apartments: For those with minimal living space, a small single mattress provides a compact solution.

Benefits of Small Single Mattresses

A small single mattress delivers more than just compact dimensions; it offers various benefits that cater to every individual:

• Space-saving design
• Comfortable for kids and teens
• Flexible option for guest rooms
• Affordable and practical
• More cost-effective than larger mattresses

Choosing the Right Small Single Mattress

Firmness Level

Choosing the right firmness depends on personal comfort. For kids, a softer mattress might be preferable, while teens and adults may opt for a medium-firm feel.

Materials

Consider options like natural fillings, pocket-sprung, or horse hair, which offer different support and comfort levels.

Specific Needs

Think about any health or comfort needs, such as back support, when choosing a mattress. OBC UK's range includes mattresses with the right balance of support and comfort.

Who Are Small Single Mattresses Suitable For?

Small single mattresses cater to unique needs and space considerations.

• Children Transitioning from Cribs: Small singles provide a manageable size for young kids, helping them adjust comfortably.
• Teens with Smaller Rooms: As teens grow, they may need more space than a crib mattress offers, but not necessarily a full single bed.
• Adults in Compact Spaces: Small single mattresses suit studio apartments or shared spaces where a larger bed isn't practical.
• Occasional Guest Bed: For those hosting guests on occasion, a small single mattress can serve as a comfortable guest option without overtaking the room.

Small Single Mattress Care and Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the mattress surface periodically to remove dust and allergens.
• Use a Mattress Protector: A waterproof mattress protector shields against spills, stains, and allergens, preserving the mattress for longer use.
• Rotate for Longevity: Rotating the mattress every 3-6 months helps prevent wear patterns, ensuring balanced support over time.
• Avoid Moisture Exposure: Keep the mattress in a well-ventilated space to prevent moisture build-up, which can lead to mildew.

Small Single vs. Single Mattresses

When choosing between a small single and a standard single mattress, it's essential to consider space and use.

• Dimensions: A small single mattress typically measures 75cm x 190cm or 2'6" x 6'3", while a standard single mattress is about 90cm x 190cm or 3'0" x 6'3".
• Space Requirements: Small singles are ideal for tight spaces, while singles may work better in rooms with slightly more floor area.
• User Suitability: Small singles are perfect for children or shorter-term use, while standard singles offer more space for long-term adult use.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of a small single mattress?

A small single mattress typically measures 75cm x 190cm or 2'6" x 6'3", making it an ideal choice for compact rooms. It's perfect for children's beds, smaller guest spaces, or bunk beds. This size is designed to maximise floor space without compromising on comfort.

Can adults sleep comfortably on a small single mattress?

Yes, small single mattresses can accommodate adults, though they are better suited for occasional use or compact living spaces. They provide a cosy fit and are particularly useful in rooms where a standard single mattress would take up too much space.

For daily adult use, it may be worth considering a standard single for added room.

How do I choose the right firmness for a small single mattress?

Consider the sleeper's preferences and needs. Softer mattresses suit young children, while medium firmness suits teens and adults. Firmness can affect sleep quality, so it's important to test or read reviews on specific materials for the best comfort.

Can I use standard single bedding on a small single mattress?

Standard single bedding may be too large; it's best to use bedding specifically sized for small single mattresses. Using well-fitted bedding enhances comfort and appearance. Properly sized sheets also stay in place better, ensuring a neat and cosy sleep surface.
