Despite spending one-third of our lives in bed, many of us do not ask questions when buying a new mattress due to feeling overwhelmed by the range available. At Land of Beds, we believe arming customers with information will help them to make the right choice for their sleep needs and budget. In addition, it helps us to achieve our mission of 'helping as many people as possible to sleep better.' A single sized mattress is 90cm x 190cm (3ft x 6ft), making them a perfect choice for smaller sized rooms, guest rooms and children’s rooms in addition to single sleepers looking for a bed with smaller dimensions. Contrary to widespread belief, manufacturers produce single mattresses to the same standard as larger-sized mattresses, making them suitable for both children and adults.
While a single bed mattress is often considered a cost-effective choice, it doesn't equate to compromising on comfort. Our single mattress size 90 x 190 cm mattresses adhere to the same high standards as their larger counterparts. We have a variety of fillings and comfort grades, guaranteeing you'll discover the perfect single mattress in our collection. Whether you prioritise affordability or desire specific fillings for enhanced comfort, our selection caters to your preferences and includes various mattress firmness options.
Our collection of single mattresses has options for everyone, including different firmness levels, materials, and prices. We also offer free, award-winning, independent advice.
We also have a wide range of mattresses featuring different fillings:

Buying a cheap single mattress can be a smart choice - as long as it suits your needs. Look for one that balances affordability with quality, especially when it comes to comfort, support, and durability.
Very cheap options might not have good support or may wear out quickly. This can affect your sleep and lead to extra costs later. If you have back issues or specific comfort needs, it's worth spending a little more for a mattress that offers the right support.
At Land of Beds, we have many affordable single mattresses. They provide great value and good sleep quality. Our team is always on hand to help you find the right fit for your budget and body.
Our sleep needs are as individual as us. Therefore, choosing the right mattress is dependent on many factors and is a personal choice.

Yes, combining two will give you the same width as a super king, although the super king is a bit longer. (Two singles combined together make 90 x 190cm / 3'0" x 6'3". A super king measures 180 x 200cm / 6'0" x 6'6.)
Being an excellent investment choice for children, solo sleepers, and guests, single mattresses are typically chosen for children who do not need a large bed, bedrooms where floor space is compromised and guest rooms. Solo adult sleepers can sleep in a single bed; however, this is the smallest size we would recommend. We recommend sleepers measuring more than 5ft 11 (180cm) consider larger beds measuring 200cm (6ft 6) in length. They are not suitable for two people sharing a bed. Instead, a small double or larger is needed.
Yes, standard single mattresses (typically 90cm x 190cm) are the most common size for bunk beds. However, when buying a mattress separately from the frame, it's important to check for compatibility, especially the mattress depth. Most bunk beds have a recommended maximum mattress height — usually around 15–18cm — to ensure safety and comply with guard rail guidelines. Choosing a mattress that’s too deep may reduce the effectiveness of the guard rails, especially on the top bunk. If you’re unsure, our bed experts are always happy to help you find the right fit.
The average price in the UK can vary widely depending on factors such as the brand, type, and quality of the mattress. On average, they start at around £100 and going up to several hundred pounds or more for higher-end or specialised models.
Higher-end models often offer better materials, more advanced support systems, and longer warranties. Cheaper options may suit short-term or occasional use.
