Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the 12 inch medium firm hybrid mattress, 3ft single?
It is a 3ft single, normally about 90cm wide by 190cm long, and 12 inches deep, which is roughly 30cm. Measure your bed base and check the depth before ordering for any frame.
Is a 12 inch mattress too thick for a bunk or cabin bed?
Very possibly. At about 30cm deep it is much thicker than most bunk bed mattresses, so check the bed's maximum mattress depth and guard rail height. If the limit is lower, this is not the right mattress for that bed.
What does hybrid mean on a kids' bed mattress?
A hybrid typically combines springs with foam or fibre comfort layers, mixing support with cushioning. Please check the product description for the exact layers before you buy, as the title confirms hybrid and medium firm only.
Is a medium firm hybrid mattress good for growing children?
Medium firm offers a balance of support and comfort that suits many older children and teens. Younger children need a firmer surface, so follow your bed manufacturer's guidance on the right mattress for their age.
What age is a 12 inch hybrid kids single mattress suitable for?
It suits older children and teenagers on a standard 3ft single bed. For younger children, check the firmness and the bed's age guidance, and avoid very deep mattresses on raised beds.
What bedding fits a 12 inch deep single mattress?
Use standard single bedding, with a single fitted sheet and single duvet. Because the mattress is about 30cm deep, choose an extra-deep fitted sheet with a pocket of at least that depth so it stays in place.
Will a 3ft single hybrid fit a standard kids bed frame?
It fits frames made for a 90 x 190cm mattress. Check that the frame sides are tall enough for a 30cm deep mattress, as thick mattresses can sit above low sides and reduce the protection they provide.
How long does delivery take for a hybrid single mattress?
Estimated delivery dates for UK addresses are shown at checkout, so you can see timings before paying. A 12 inch hybrid is bulky and heavy, so make sure someone can help carry it indoors.
How do I care for and turn a hybrid mattress?
Turn it head to foot every few months to spread wear, and air the room regularly. Spot clean the mattress's own cover with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let it dry completely.
Is a hybrid or a foam children's bed mattress better?
A hybrid usually feels more supportive and springy, while foam tends to feel more contouring. This 12 inch medium firm hybrid suits older children on standard beds, but check your frame depth before buying.
