Small Single Mattresses

Great for smaller rooms or children, a small single mattress offers exceptional versatility to suit homes big and small. Shopping for a small single bed mattress online can be confusing, so we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions to help.

A small single mattress size measures 2'6" x 6'3", or 75cm x 190cm, allowing it to fit comfortably onto a small single bed. Because it's slightly narrower than a standard single mattress, which measures 3’ x 6’3”, it’s ideal for smaller rooms or tighter spaces.

Before choosing to buy a 2ft 6 mattress, ensure your room can accommodate it by checking out our bed measuring guide. To compare it with our other mattress options, our mattress size guide clearly explains the differences between all mattress sizes.

Yes! Our range of small single mattresses can be purchased in all our most popular firmness ratings, including:

• Small single soft mattresses
