Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a single mattress in the UK?
A standard UK single mattress is approximately 90 x 190cm (3ft). This 12 inch memory foam spring hybrid is made for that size, so it fits any single bed frame or divan built for 90 x 190cm. Always measure the inside of your frame before ordering.
Is this a good single bed mattress for teenagers and adults?
Yes. The 30cm hybrid build pairs a spring core with memory foam, giving the support teenagers need while they grow and the cushioning adults expect from a single bed mattress. It suits main bedrooms, student rooms and guest beds.
What is the difference between a memory foam mattress and a hybrid mattress?
A memory foam mattress is built mainly from foam layers that contour to your body. A hybrid mattress adds a spring core beneath the foam, which improves airflow and bounce while keeping the pressure relief. This single is a hybrid, so you get both.
Will a 12 inch mattress fit my bed frame?
It will fit any 90 x 190cm frame, but at about 30cm deep it sits higher than a standard mattress. Check that your headboard is tall enough and that the frame has no maximum mattress depth. It is not suitable for bunk or cabin beds with depth limits.
Does a hybrid single mattress sleep cooler than all-foam?
Generally yes. The spring core leaves gaps that let air move through the mattress, which many people find cooler than solid foam. Comfort still depends on your bedding, room temperature and personal preference.
How firm is this single mattress?
It feels medium: supportive from the spring base with a softer memory foam top. If you want a very firm or orthopaedic feel, see our firm and orthopaedic mattresses; for a softer feel, see our memory foam range.
What sheets fit a 30cm single mattress?
Use fitted single sheets with a deep pocket of at least 30cm, because this mattress is about 30cm deep. Standard-depth sheets may pull off the corners on a mattress this thick. Check the pocket depth on the label before you buy, and choose single bedding sized for 90 x 190cm.
How often should I turn or rotate it?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to even out wear, and check the care label before flipping. Keep it on a supportive, ventilated base and air the room regularly to keep the mattress fresh. Two people make turning a 30cm deep hybrid easier.
Is this the cheapest single mattress you sell?
No. It is a deeper, premium-feel hybrid with a spring core and memory foam. If you want the lowest price, browse our cheap single mattresses and budget range, which suit spare rooms and second beds. Compare depth, feel and price to choose what suits your bed.
How long will a hybrid single mattress last?
With regular rotation and a supportive base, a good hybrid typically lasts several years. Replace any mattress that sags noticeably, no longer feels supportive or leaves you uncomfortable. Lifespan varies with use, sleeper weight and care, so take this as a general guide rather than a guarantee.
