A small single long mattress measures 75 x 200cm, giving you the same narrow width as a standard small single but with an extra 10cm of length for taller sleepers. At Land of Beds, we've been helping people find the right mattress for over 50 years, and our small single long range covers pocket sprung, open coil, natural, latex, and memory foam constructions across a range of tensions. It's a specialist size that suits compact rooms, children's bedrooms, and guest spaces where a taller person needs more legroom than a standard-length mattress allows. Because it's a less common size, the range available tends to sit at the more premium end, so it's worth checking availability and lead times before you commit to a room layout.

A standard small single mattress is a common fit for a compact room, but it can leave taller sleepers with their feet hanging off the end. A small single long solves that without needing extra width, which matters when the room itself is the constraint rather than the number of people using it. At Land of Beds, we've spent over 50 years helping people find the right mattress size for their space, and we know this particular size needs a bit more care to source and confirm than the more common options.
Three things determine whether a small single long mattress is the right fit for you. Get these right and the rest, tension, filling, budget, is easier to work through.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Room fit | The width stays the same as a standard small single, so the room only needs to accommodate the extra 10cm of length. | Room dimensions at the foot end of the bed, clearance for any furniture in that space |
| Bed frame or divan compatibility | A small single long mattress needs a base built to the same 75 x 200cm dimensions, standard small single bases won't fit. | Whether your existing frame or divan is small single long, not standard small single |
| Filling and tension | Pocket sprung, open coil, natural, latex, and memory foam all feel different and suit different sleepers. | Sleep position, body weight, and any allergies or temperature preferences |

Small single long is easy to confuse with the standard small single size. Here's a plain comparison.
| Small Single Long | Small Single | |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 75 x 200cm | 75 x 190cm |
| Extra length | 10cm more than standard small single | - |
| Width | Identical to small single | Identical to small single long |
| Base compatibility | Requires a small single long frame or divan | Requires a standard small single frame or divan |
| Best for | Taller sleepers in a narrow room | Sleepers of average height in a narrow room |
The two sizes take up the same amount of floor width, so the choice comes down to the sleeper's height rather than the room's width. Always check which size your existing bed frame or divan is built to before ordering a replacement mattress.
The construction of your small single long mattress affects how it feels, how long it lasts, and how it performs for its size. Here's a plain comparison of the main types available.
| Type | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Pocket Sprung | Individually wrapped springs that contour to the body, good motion isolation | Sleepers wanting personalised, responsive support |
| Open Coil / Bonnell Spring | Traditional connected spring unit, simple and cost-effective construction | Budget-conscious buyers, guest rooms, occasional use |
| Natural | Natural fillings such as wool, cotton, or latex layered for a soft, breathable sleep surface | Buyers wanting a plush, natural feel |
| Latex | Responsive support, naturally hypoallergenic, good for aches and pains | Buyers with respiratory sensitivities, those wanting durable, breathable support |
| Memory Foam | Contours closely to the body, adds pressure relief on top of comfort and support | Sleepers wanting pressure relief, side sleepers |

In our experience, most small single long enquiries come from parents of taller teenagers or people setting up a compact guest room for a taller visitor. Confirming the base size before ordering the mattress saves the most time and avoids the most returns.
The material your small single long mattress is filled with affects comfort, breathability, and how it performs over time. Here's a plain comparison.
| Material | Performance and Feel | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Natural fillings (wool, cotton) | Breathable and temperature-regulating, offers a softer sleep surface | Buyers wanting a plush, natural feel |
| Latex | Responsive and durable, naturally hypoallergenic, good airflow | Allergy sufferers, buyers wanting long-term durability |
| Memory Foam | Contours to the body, absorbs movement well, adds pressure relief | Side sleepers, pressure relief |
| Pocket Springs / Open Coil | Individually wrapped springs offer personalised support, open coil offers a simpler, connected spring unit | Buyers wanting traditional support at a range of budgets |
See our mattress filling guide for more detail on how each filling type performs.
Because small single long is a specialist size, the range available tends to sit at the more premium end, with fewer entry-level options than more common sizes. Budget affects spring system, filling, and guarantee length.
| Budget | What You Get | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Under £1,500 | Premium memory foam and entry-level pocket sprung constructions, from £1,289 | Buyers wanting quality at the more accessible end of this specialist size |
| £1,500-£2,500 | Higher spring counts, natural fillings, longer guarantees | Buyers wanting a genuine step up in comfort and durability |
| £2,500+ | Luxury natural fibre constructions, the longest guarantees available, premium brand craftsmanship | Long-term investment, buyers prioritising the best available specification |
Our small single long range starts from £1,289. Because this is a specialist size, you'll typically pay more for it than a standard-length equivalent, so it's worth factoring that into your budget from the outset rather than expecting entry-level pricing.
Our Price Promise Guarantee means you won't pay more than you should. Finance is available on eligible orders, see our finance page for terms.
