Introducing our small single mattress collection, the smallest standard mattress size in the UK. At Bensons for Beds, we offer a wide range of small single mattresses that are ideal for children or guest bedrooms with limited floor space. These 2 ft 6 mattresses are slightly smaller than a single mattress, but they still offer a comfortable night’s sleep for one. Explore our collections of small single bed mattresses below to find the right fit for your needs.
A small single mattress is the smallest size mattress that we stock at Bensons for Beds.
Compact but by no means lacking in comfort, small single mattresses measure 2 feet 6 inches wide and 6 feet 3 inches long. The measurements of a small single mattress in centimetres is 75cm x 190cm.
This makes it 6 inches (or 15 cm) narrower than a single mattress. Because of this, a small single mattress is sometimes also called a narrow single mattress.
While this may sound a little on the small size, a small single bed with a mattress is a great option for a children’s bedroom. And not just for kids, our small singles are suitable for adults too. They can comfortably sleep one person, which makes them a great choice for box rooms or bedrooms with limited floor space.
2ft 6 in mattresses also work well in guest rooms, maximising the available floor space so that you can put it to good use.
Small single beds are also known as twin beds. Their narrowness means that it’s easier to fit two of them in a bedroom – perfect if you have two children sharing a room.
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a small single mattress is that it is such a space saver. If you have a small bedroom, then you might be finding it difficult to find a bed which fits, or you could be reluctant to fill the entire space with just a bed.
As a small single bed and mattress set measures six inches narrower than a standard single bed and mattress, it can fit into more bijou spaces.
If you’re looking for a mattress for a guest room, then you might also want to consider a small single mattress. Pair it perfectly with a divan bed base and you’ll be able to offer your guest a great place to sleep, as well as creating some extra storage for yourself underneath the bed.
Small single mattresses can also be suitable as mattresses for bunk beds, providing the bunk bed size is also small single. A narrow single mattress gives your little one ample room to grow while transitioning to a “big kids” bed too.
There is no one size fits all when it’s time to buy a small single mattress. And choosing the correct mattress can be tricky at times.
We can’t tell you which small single mattress is best because everyone has different needs and preferences. In order to choose the best small single mattress for you, you’ll need to consider the firmness rating of the mattress, your sleeping position and the type of mattress you prefer. Our small single mattresses are available in every comfort rating, from soft right through to extra firm.
Although all of our small single mattresses are the same size, they’re also all different in terms of the materials they’re made from, their filling and their comfort ratings.
There are many different types of small single mattress that you may want to consider when choosing the best mattress for your narrow single bed.
One option is a small single memory foam mattress. These mattresses have been innovatively developed to mould to your body and provide reactive pressure relief for your body as you sleep. The support, cushioning, and comfort that memory foam mattresses provide can help to support your joints, which may help to relieve some of the aches and pains you may suffer when you wake up.
If a small single foam mattress isn’t for you then how about a small single pocket sprung mattress? Pocket sprung mattresses are filled with springs which are encased in their own individual pockets. This means that each spring can move individually to adjust to the contours of your body.
Shopping for a budget-friendly mattress? A narrow single open coil mattress is a great option to consider. Open coil mattresses are packed with springs offering a responsive and supportive sleep surface with enhanced air flow.
Perhaps you’d like a mattress that promises the best of both worlds? Hybrid mattresses fuse two different technologies into a single mattress. The springs enhance air flow within the sleep surface and provide responsive support while the additional foam comfort layer aims to enhance comfort. Find out whether a small single hybrid mattress is perfectly tailored to your needs by checking out our hybrid mattress buying guide.
