Single Mattresses

One of the most popular sizes in the UK, a single mattress is a versatile option that will suit any

A standard single mattress measures 3' x 6'3" or 90cm x 190cm. It's one of the most popular mattress sizes, as it can comfortably sleep a child, teenager or adult! Not sure if this size is what you need? Check out our mattress size guide to learn more about all the sizes available here at Happy Beds.

Are single and twin the same?

No, a single mattress in the UK is different from a twin mattress, which is a common size in the USA. Whereas a UK single measures 3' x 6'3", a US twin is slightly wider and shorter at 3'2" x 6'2" in size.

We have a wide range of single mattresses available, including our most popular types:

Single orthopaedic mattresses

For those who suffer from back pain or aching joints at night, a single orthopaedic mattress is the perfect choice as it is designed with high support levels. This, in turn, helps to promote a healthy spinal alignment to reduce aches and pains!

Single pocket sprung mattresses

A single pocket spring mattress consists of thousands of 'pockets', which are individually wrapped springs. This allows them to operate independently from each other, giving you custom support without the risk of causing extra jostling when moving.

Single open coil spring mattresses

If you're looking for an affordable yet supportive option, a single open coil mattress is the answer. Also called a traditional or Bonnel spring, they have a series of interconnected springs designed to offer even weight distribution for high support.

Single memory foam mattresses

A single memory foam mattress offers exceptional levels of unique support throughout the night. The foam uses your body heat to contour to your shape, giving you personalised sleep that is restful and supportive!

Single latex foam mattresses

Our single latex foam mattresses are great for sleepers suffering from allergies, as latex foam is naturally hypoallergenic. They work similarly to memory foam in that they contour to your body to give you custom sleep levels!

Single hybrid mattresses

A single hybrid mattress combines comfort and support into one, with most features a spring structure and layers of foam. You get the best of both worlds for the ultimate, comfy sleep!

These aren't our only single mattress types, just the ones most popular with our customers! Are you curious about all the different types of mattresses available? Check out our mattress buying guide for more info.

Our single mattresses come in the following firmness ratings:

• Single soft mattresses
• Single soft/medium mattresses
• Single medium mattresses
• Single medium/firm mattresses
• Single firm mattresses

The firmness you decide on for your single mattress is essential as this can affect your sleep and potentially reduce the risk of joint pain. Choosing the right mattress firmness can depend on personal preference, long-term injuries or sleeping position!

A single mattress is a perfect choice for kids as it is large enough to give them all the space they need to support their growing bodies. It's equally ideal for teenagers, so if you give your child a single mattress, it can be their sleep companion for many years! Our how to choose a mattress for children guide will help you make the right choice for their sleep needs and help them grow comfortably.

Single mattresses are easy for adults to use as their dimensions are large enough to accommodate a grown person. So, if you're running short on space in your home, a single bed and mattress might be the perfect choice. They're also a common choice for guest and university bedrooms, making them exceptionally versatile and ideal for adults and children.
