Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a 4ft small double children's memory foam mattress?
A 4ft small double is about 120cm wide by 190cm long. It is wider than a single but narrower than a standard double, so measure your bed base before ordering to be sure it fits.
Why choose a small double mattress for a child or teenager?
A small double gives more room than a single without needing the floor space of a full double. It suits growing children and teens in medium bedrooms, provided the bed frame is built for a 4ft mattress.
How deep is this 10cm memory foam children's mattress?
It is 10cm deep, as the title states. That slimmer profile can suit frames with limited depth, but always check your bed's maximum mattress depth and guard rail height for any raised or mid-sleeper bed.
Is a 10cm memory foam mattress firm enough for growing children?
Growing children generally need support, so check the firmness described in the product details. Memory foam contours to the body, and younger children usually benefit from a firmer feel, in line with your bed maker's guidance.
Can I use a small double mattress on a bunk or cabin bed?
Only on a frame designed for a 4ft base, which is uncommon. Check the maximum mattress depth and guard rail height for the bed, and follow the manufacturer's guidance, particularly where children sleep up high.
What age is a children's small double memory foam mattress suitable for?
It suits older children, teenagers and adults who need a 4ft bed. Younger children need a firmer mattress and should follow any minimum age guidance from the bed manufacturer, so check this first.
What bedding fits a 4ft small double mattress?
Look for small double bedding, such as a 120 x 190cm fitted sheet and a small double duvet cover. With a mattress depth of 10cm, most fitted sheets of this size will fit well and stay in place.
How long does it take to deliver a memory foam small double?
Estimated delivery dates for UK addresses are shown at checkout, so you can see timings before paying. Foam mattresses can be bulky, so make sure someone can carry it to the bedroom.
How do I care for and turn a memory foam children's mattress?
Turn it head to foot every few months so wear is spread evenly, and air the room often. Spot clean the mattress's own cover with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry completely.
Should I buy a small double or a kids single mattress?
A kids single mattress at about 90cm suits standard single beds, while a 4ft small double at 120cm offers more space for older children. Pick the one that matches your frame and your child's room size.
