Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this an orthopaedic single mattress?
Orthopaedic describes a firm, supportive style of mattress. This 3ft single is designed to give a firmer surface that keeps you well supported while you sleep. It is a comfort choice, so compare the firmness and depth on the product page with other single mattresses in this collection.
Is a 3ft single mattress 90 x 190cm?
Yes, a UK 3ft single measures 90 x 190cm. It fits standard single bed frames, divans and many bunk or guest beds of that size. Measure your frame's internal dimensions before ordering to make sure it fits.
Is this orthopaedic single a firm or extra firm mattress?
It is described as firm, which is a supportive surface with limited sink. An extra firm mattress or very firm mattress is harder still. If you want a firm single mattress that is supportive but not rock-hard, this is a sensible place to start.
Who is a firm single mattress best suited to?
Back and stomach sleepers, and heavier sleepers, often prefer a firm surface. It can suit guest rooms and spare beds too. Lighter side sleepers who like a soft, sinking feel may find a firm mattress too hard.
Is an orthopaedic mattress right for me?
An orthopaedic mattress is a firm, supportive style that some people find comfortable. It suits back and stomach sleepers who like less sink, while lighter side sleepers may prefer something softer. Choose by how it feels to you, and compare firmness and depth on the product page.
How does a firm single compare with a soft single mattress?
A firm single keeps your body more level with less sinking, while a soft single mattress feels plusher and wraps around you more. Medium sits between the two. Choose firm if you like to feel supported on top of the mattress.
Will a 3ft single mattress fit a standard single bed frame?
It should fit any frame built for a UK single, but frame sizes can vary slightly. Check the internal length and width against 190 x 90cm. If your bed is a small single or a different size, choose the matching mattress.
How do I unwrap and settle my new single mattress?
Unwrap it in the room where it will be used and place it on a clean, supportive base. Give it time to settle into its full shape and open a window to help any new-mattress smell fade. Check delivery details on the product page.
How should I care for and rotate a firm single mattress?
Rotate it head to foot every few months so wear spreads evenly. Keep it on a ventilated, supportive base and spot clean with a damp cloth, letting it dry fully. Only flip it if the product details say it is two-sided.
Is this a good orthopaedic single mattress to buy online?
It is a straightforward choice if you want a firm, supportive 3ft single at the standard size. Check the 90 x 190cm size against your bed and think about how you sleep. Compare it with other orthopaedic mattresses in this collection.
