Single Mattresses (3ft )

Standard 3ft Single Mattress dimensions ( 190cm x 90cm explained)

While a single mattress might be on the small end of the mattress size scale, this doesn’t mean they’re not suitably big enough for sleepers of all heights. Measuring 6ft3” by 3ft (or 190cm x 90cm), a 3ft single mattress is more than roomy enough for a single adult, and provides plenty of extra room if acting as a kids mattress.

To put it another way, a single mattress is the optimum bed choice for when space is tight or your budget is limited, ensuring you can still get a great night’s sleep, regardless of your bedroom size.

Ideal for kids, guest Rooms & smaller bedrooms

Given their smaller stature, you might be wondering why you might choose a 3ft single mattress over a traditional double mattress or even a king-sized bed – after all, is bigger not always better in the mattress world?

Well, despite their smaller stature, the limited size of single mattresses is actually one of its greatest strengths. Able to fit into any sized bedroom, mattresses of this size offer you unmatched versatility when it comes to fitting out a spare room, a smaller master bedroom, or if you and your partner prefer to sleep in separate beds.

Indeed, 3ft single mattresses truly shine when placed in restrictive environments, such as in a studio flat, one-bed flat, or in a child’s room where bunk beds might be the only option. Coming in all types of styles and mattress firmness ratings, their snug size is no hindrance when it comes to getting a full night’s rest.

Choosing the right Mattress for your space, sleeping style & budget

As we’ve just mentioned, single mattresses typically cost less than larger options simply because they are smaller in size and cost less to produce. However, you can pay as little or as much as you want for a 3ft single mattress, depending on the different fillings and structures you prefer.

For example, here in the MattressNextDay range, we have cheap single mattresses that cost as little as £100, while our high-end brand options start at around £500, so make sure you take your time browsing to find a suitable design that’s within your personal budget.
