Introducing our single mattress collection, boasting intuitive sleep technology for the different needs of different sleepers. Whether you are looking for mattress in a single size that you can sink into at the end of the day or prefer a firmer feel, there’s something for everyone at Bensons. From a pocket sprung single mattress to single memory foam mattresses and beyond, we have plenty of designs to choose from. Explore both splurge-worthy and budget friendly single bed mattresses below.
Single mattresses are designed to accommodate a single bed frame or base. They’re compact in size which makes them ideal for children, guest bedrooms or adults who sleep by themselves. And given their relatively small footprint, a single bed with a mattress can help maximise the floor space in a bedroom. This means you’ll be able to prioritise more storage savvy furniture or leave space for the kids to spread out with their toys.
The name 'single' is derived from single mattresses being designed to sleep one person comfortably. Kids can sleep snug in a single bed from the moment they transition from their cot or cot bed, right through to their teenage years and into adulthood.
A single mattress measures 90cm wide and 190cm long. When compared to other mattress sizes, a single mattress is 15cm wider than a small single mattress and 30cm narrower than a small double. A single bed and mattress set is specifically designed to sleep one person comfortably so that they can achieve a great night's sleep.
Single beds with storage and a mattress, like those in our single divan bed sets collection, provide a great sleeping solution for children's bedrooms, guest rooms and adults sleeping alone alike.
There is no clear winner when it comes to the 'best' single mattress. Different mattress technologies and firmness ratings are available to suit the varying needs and preferences of different people.
Our mattresses are available in range of comfort ratings, each of which offers a different level of support. The single mattress that’s best for you really depends on your sleep needs and preferences as an individual.
One thing to take into consideration when choosing your next single mattress is your preferred sleeping position.
If you’re a side sleeper, you may find that a soft or medium comfort rating will work for you. A medium single mattress can help deliver relief to key pressure points (such as your hips and shoulders) while you sleep.
If you sleep on your back or your front, a medium-firm to extra-firm single mattress should provide better support. This is because a firmer sleep surface helps to support the natural alignment of the spine throughout the night.
There are plenty of different types of single mattresses to consider too. Here are the different single mattress types we offer at Bensons:
Single open coil mattresses: If you’re looking for a cheap single mattress, have you considered open coil mattresses? An open coil single mattress is one of the most affordable options the market has to offer. And so, if you’re building a guest room on a budget, this type of mattress could be ideal.
Single pocket sprung mattresses: A pocket sprung single mattress is made with thousands of individual springs, each encased in its own fabric pocket. These are designed to respond to your body’s shape and can provide comfort where you need it most. Pocket sprung mattresses are a favourite among those who sleep on their side as well as back- and front-sleepers.
Single memory foam mattresses: Memory foam mattresses have been specially designed to perfectly conform to the shape of your body. And so, a single memory foam mattress is able to deliver a personalised-feel granting you a great night's sleep.
Single latex mattresses: Latex single mattresses are a popular choice among those searching for eco-conscious sleep solutions. However, it’s important to highlight that not all latex mattresses are eco-friendly. Learn more about whether a single latex mattress could be a good fit for your sleep needs in our latex mattress buying guide.
Single hybrid mattresses: Hybrid mattresses fuse two different technologies into a single mattress. Combining the use of springs and foam in a single mattress gives sleepers a taste of the best of both worlds. The springs enhance air flow within the sleep surface and provide responsive support while the additional memory foam or latex comfort layer aims to deliver envious comfort. Find out whether a single hybrid mattress is perfectly tailored to your needs by checking out our hybrid mattress buying guide.
Single orthopaedic mattresses: Do you suffer from neck or back pain? Perhaps you’re looking for a firm single mattress that lives up to your expectations? If either of these are the case, you might benefit from an orthopaedic single mattress. As the name suggests, the makeup of orthopaedic mattresses is influenced by orthopaedics, a branch of medicine focussing on our musculoskeletal systems.
Yes, single mattresses are a great choice for kids. A small single mattress could also be a good choice if you have limited space. But ultimately, you may have to upsize earlier than you might like with if you choose to buy a small single mattress for your rapidly growing little one. A single mattress gives a child enough space to sleep in from childhood through to their teens and into adulthood.
Single mattresses are suitable for children ready to transition from a cot to a big girl or big boy bed too. You may find that your little one is ready for that transition at any age from 18 months to three years. However, whether your child is ready to transition to a single bed and mattress will ultimately depend on where your child is at development-wise, as well as how comfortable you are with the change.
