Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a European single mattress?
A European single is 90 x 200cm, 10cm longer than a UK single. This 8 inch memory foam mattress is made for that size. Measure your frame before ordering, because a European single will not fit a standard UK single frame.
Will it fit a UK single bed?
No. A UK single frame is 190cm long, so a 200cm mattress will not fit properly. Only order if your frame is 90 x 200cm, and measure the inside of your frame carefully before you buy.
What sheets do I need for a 90 x 200cm mattress?
You need European single fitted sheets made for 90 x 200cm mattresses. UK single sheets are made for a 190cm length and may be too short, so check the size on the label. Also check the pocket depth against the 8 inch (about 20cm) mattress.
How deep is an 8 inch mattress?
An 8 inch mattress is about 20cm deep, a moderate depth that sits comfortably on most frames without rising too high. Check your headboard and side rails before ordering, and use fitted sheets with a pocket that covers 20cm.
Is it an all-foam mattress?
Yes, it is all memory foam with no springs, which makes it quiet and lightweight compared with a sprung mattress. Foam feels more contouring and slower to respond. If you prefer a bouncier feel, look at our hybrid and pocket sprung single mattresses.
How firm is it?
Medium, with the contouring feel of memory foam. It should feel supportive without being hard. Comfort is personal, so if you prefer a firmer or plusher surface, compare other mattresses in our range and check the product page for details.
Does it sleep warm?
Memory foam can retain heat, so breathable bedding helps. Keep the bedroom ventilated and use lighter covers if you tend to sleep warm. No mattress guarantees a cool night, and a hybrid with springs usually allows more airflow than all foam.
Is it suitable for tall sleepers?
The extra 10cm of length helps taller teens and adults, because their feet are less likely to reach the end of the bed. Check that your frame is 90 x 200cm, and think about how you like to sleep before ordering.
Can I use it on a slatted base?
Yes, with narrow slat spacing, because foam can sag between wide gaps. Closely spaced slats give even support. Check your frame's instructions, and make sure the slats are flat, clean and firmly fixed before you put the mattress on.
How do I care for it?
Spot clean marks with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let the mattress dry fully. Avoid soaking the foam. Air the room regularly, rotate head to foot every few months, and keep it on a supportive, ventilated base.
