Frequently Asked Questions
What does orthopaedic mean on a single mattress?
It describes a firm, supportive style of mattress, with a flatter feel than a soft or plush design. This 3ft single has seven zones and is about 30cm deep. Check the product page for the full description, and compare firmness with other single mattresses before ordering.
What size is this 3ft single orthopaedic mattress?
This 3ft single orthopaedic mattress is about 90 x 190cm and roughly 30cm deep (12 inches). That fits standard single frames and divans, but it is a thick mattress, so measure the inside of your frame and check headboard and side rail height before ordering.
What do the seven zones do?
Seven zones vary the support along the mattress, giving firmer support under the hips and more give around the shoulders and legs. It is a comfort design feature, so check the product page for the firmness and think about how you like to sleep.
Is it too firm for side sleepers?
It leans firm. Side sleepers who prefer plush comfort may want a softer memory foam or medium option, while back and stomach sleepers often like a firmer surface. Comfort is personal, so compare firmness across our single mattresses before you decide.
Does orientation matter on a zoned mattress?
Yes, place the head end at the head of the bed, following the label, so the seven zones line up under your shoulders, hips and legs. Check the care label for any turning guidance, as zoned mattresses are laid out for a set direction.
Can I flip a zoned single mattress?
Zoned mattresses are usually single-sided, so avoid flipping them. Check the care label for turning guidance, because the zones are laid out for a set direction. Keep the mattress on a supportive, ventilated base and spot clean spills to keep it fresh.
What sheets do I need for a 30cm single?
Deep fitted single sheets with a pocket of 30cm or more suit this mattress, because it is about 30cm deep. Standard-depth sheets may pull off the corners. Check the pocket depth on the label, and choose single bedding made for 90 x 190cm mattresses.
Will it fit a bunk bed?
No. At 30cm it is too deep for most bunks and cabin beds, which usually have a maximum mattress depth and guard rail height. Check your bed manufacturer's guidance before ordering, and choose a slimmer low-profile single if your bed has a depth limit.
Is this a single orthopaedic mattress for back support?
It is designed for firm, aligned support, which many back sleepers like. It is a comfort choice in an orthopaedic style, with seven zones and a deep 30cm build. Compare firmness and depth on the product page with other single mattresses before you buy.
How do I look after it?
Air the room regularly, rotate it head to foot every few months if the care label allows, and keep it on a supportive, ventilated base. Spot clean spills with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let the mattress dry fully before making the bed.
