Why choose a Hypnos single mattress?
A Hypnos single mattress is a premium choice for a solo sleeper, guest room or smaller bedroom. Its compact size saves floor space while still offering the carefully handcrafted comfort associated with Hypnos.
Responsive pocket springs provide individual support, while natural and responsibly sourced fillings create a soft, breathable sleep surface. With a choice of firmness levels and mattress styles available, you can find a Hypnos single mattress that suits the sleeper and the room.
How to choose the right Hypnos single mattress
Start with the sleeper, then narrow the range by tension, sleeping position and features.
Choose your preferred tension:
Soft: A deeply cushioned feel that may suit lighter sleepers and those who mainly sleep on their side
Medium: More cushioning for side sleepers, lighter adults, teenagers and growing children
Medium firm: A balanced option for combination sleepers who regularly change position
Firm: Steadier support with less give, often preferred by back and front sleepers
Extra firm: The most supportive feel for sleepers who want minimal sink
Next, compare the details that will shape everyday comfort:
Natural and recycled comfort fillings
ReActive™ or ReActivePro™ pocket springs
Reinforced edge support
Mattress depth
No-turn or double-sided care
Sustainable and natural fillings: From traceable wool to silk
Hypnos layers natural and recycled materials over its pocket-spring systems, giving you breathable cushioning without the close, enveloping feel of foam.
Look for:
British wool for breathable comfort that helps manage warmth and moisture
Cotton for a softer, fresher sleep surface with natural airflow
Himalayan Allo and organic kapok for light, breathable cushioning on selected pillow-top models
Recycled eOlus™ fibres for resilient comfort that allows air and moisture to pass through

Buying guidance for Hypnos single mattresses
Choosing the right Hypnos single mattress starts with matching the size to the sleeper, bed frame and available floor space. Once you know which dimensions will work, compare the pocket spring system, firmness and care requirements to find a mattress that feels comfortable and fits easily into your routine.
Hypnos single mattress sizes: Standard vs small single
| Single | Small single | Small double |
Dimensions | 90cm × 190cm | 75cm × 190cm | 120cm × 190cm |

Innovative pocket spring technology for single sleepers
The spring system determines how closely your mattress responds as you move. Hypnos offers two main technologies:
Spring system | How it works | Why choose it? |
ReActive™ pocket springs | Individual springs respond separately to changes in weight and position | Responsive, targeted support across the mattress |
ReActivePro™ pocket springs | Selected models combine responsive springs with Triple Edge Protection™ | A steadier edge and more usable sleeping space |
The number of active turns varies by model. Springs with more turns are designed to respond more quickly, so compare the specification alongside the mattress tension.
Want easier mattress care? Look for a no-turn design. This can be a practical choice if you have limited mobility or find lifting a heavy mattress difficult.
Some Hypnos mattresses are double-sided and require regular turning, so check the care instructions before buying.

Ask the expert about Hypnos single mattresses
Still deciding between sizes, tensions and spring systems? These answers cover the practical details that can help you narrow down the range.
Martin Seeley, Product Expert at MattressNextDay, answers questions about Hypnos single mattresses.
Are Hypnos single mattresses suitable for children and teenagers?
Yes, a Hypnos single mattress can suit a child or teenager when the size, tension and mattress depth are appropriate for their bed. A standard 90cm × 190cm single gives a growing sleeper more width than a small single and can continue to suit them into adulthood.
Lighter sleepers often find medium tension easier to settle into because they don’t compress firmer layers as deeply. Check the child’s bed frame requirements and mattress height, especially for raised or bunk-style beds, before ordering.
Do Hypnos single mattresses need to be turned?
It depends on the model. Many current options are single-sided no-turn mattresses, which should still be rotated from head to toe as directed. This reduces the lifting involved and can be useful for anyone who wants simpler mattress care.
Some Hypnos mattresses are double-sided and need flipping as well as rotating. Follow the care schedule on the individual product page to help the fillings settle evenly.
What is the difference between ReActive™ and ReActivePro™ springs?
Both are pocket-spring systems that respond independently to the sleeper’s weight and movements. ReActive™ models use a specified number of active turns per spring, with more turns creating a more responsive action.
ReActivePro™ is used on selected models and is paired with Triple Edge Protection™ for support closer to the perimeter. On a single mattress, that firmer edge can make more of the compact surface comfortable to use.
Do Hypnos single mattresses come with a 10-year guarantee?
Selected Hypnos single mattresses include a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee, while other models may have a five-year guarantee. Registration may be required after delivery, so check the guarantee section on the product page and complete any required steps within the stated timeframe.
The guarantee covers the conditions set out by the manufacturer. It doesn’t replace regular care, so use a suitable bed base and follow the rotation or turning instructions supplied with your mattress.
How much do Hypnos single mattresses cost?
Hypnos single mattresses at MattressNextDay come in a range of prices, giving you several levels of natural comfort and spring support to compare.
For a guest room or occasional use, a simpler model may provide all the comfort needed. If the mattress will be used every night, consider investing in reinforced edges, a more responsive spring system and deeper natural fillings.
Use the filters to compare prices alongside tension, size, care requirements and guarantee length. Our Lowest Price Promise gives you added price reassurance once you’ve found the right mattress.
Can I buy a Hypnos mattress in a small single?
Yes, selected Hypnos mattresses are available in a small single at 75cm × 190cm. Current choices include models with medium, firm or extra firm support, natural fillings and responsive pocket springs, although availability is more limited than in standard single.
Filter by small single before comparing features, then check the expected delivery time because delivery times vary by model and size.
