Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the Platinum bunk bed mattress?
This single mattress measures 90 x 190cm and is 18cm deep, as shown in the title. Measure your bunk bed's mattress platform before ordering, and allow for the 18cm depth when checking how it sits within the frame.
Is an 18cm deep mattress too thick for my bunk bed?
It depends on your bed. Check the bunk's maximum mattress depth and guard rail height before buying, because a thicker mattress reduces the effective height of the rail. If 18cm exceeds the manufacturer's limit, choose a thinner mattress instead.
Can children sleep on the top bunk with this single mattress?
Only where the bed manufacturer's guidance allows it. Check the minimum age for the top bunk, the maximum mattress depth and the guard rail height, since the 18cm depth will lower the rail. Never rely on the mattress alone for safety.
What is the Platinum mattress filling and construction?
The title gives the size and 18cm depth but not the filling, so please check the product description for the full construction. It is sold as a bunk bed mattress, so it is intended for frames where a single 90 x 190cm mattress is used.
How firm is a bunk bed mattress for a growing child?
Growing children generally need a supportive mattress that is not overly soft, particularly younger ones. Check the comfort level described in the product details, and follow your bunk bed manufacturer's guidance on mattress suitability for different ages.
Does a 90 x 190cm mattress fit all bunk beds?
No. Most UK bunk beds take a standard 3ft single at 90 x 190cm, but some frames use a European single or a smaller size. Measure the inside of your bed base and compare it with this mattress before you buy.
What bedding suits an 18cm deep single mattress?
Standard UK single bedding fits, using a single fitted sheet and single duvet. Because the mattress is 18cm deep, choose a fitted sheet with a pocket of at least that depth so it stays firmly in place.
How long does delivery take for a bunk bed mattress?
Estimated delivery dates for UK addresses are shown at checkout, so you can see timings before paying. If you are building a new bunk bed on a particular day, check those dates first and order in good time.
How do I rotate and care for a bunk bed mattress?
Turn it head to foot every few months to help even out wear, and air the room often. Spot clean the mattress's own cover with a damp cloth and mild soap, allowing it to dry fully before making the bed.
Should I choose this mattress bunk option or a thinner kids single mattress?
Choose the depth your bed allows. This 18cm mattress gives more depth, but a thinner kids single mattress may be needed if your guard rails are low. The bed's maximum mattress depth should always make the final decision.
