Frequently Asked Questions
What is a low profile single mattress and who is it for?
A low profile single mattress is slimmer than standard, so it fits cabin beds, bunks and frames with a depth limit. This quilted spring single suits children, teenagers and second beds.
What size is this 3ft single mattress?
It is a standard UK 3ft single, approximately 90 x 190cm, and fits any single bed frame or divan of that size. Measure the inside of your frame before ordering, and check the product page for the depth if your bed has a depth limit.
Is it safe for a top bunk or cabin bed?
Check your bed's maximum mattress depth and guard rail height first. Because this mattress is low profile it suits many frames, but always follow the bed manufacturer's guidance for top bunks and cabin beds, and make sure the guard rail stays well above the mattress surface.
Is a quilted spring mattress comfortable?
The quilted top adds a soft surface over a supportive spring base. It is comfortable for everyday use by children and lighter sleepers, though deeper mattresses offer more cushioning. Check the product page for the depth and compare thicker singles if you want a plusher feel.
How firm is it?
Medium. The spring base is supportive and the quilting softens the top, so it feels balanced for everyday use. If you prefer a firmer or plusher feel, compare the other single mattresses in our range, and check the product page for the full description.
Is it a cheap single mattress?
It is a budget-friendly single mattress with a practical low-profile build. See our cheap mattresses collection for more value options, and compare depth, feel and construction so you choose a mattress that suits your bed and the person who will sleep on it.
Can adults sleep on it?
Yes, within your bed frame's weight limit, though adults who sleep on it nightly may prefer a deeper hybrid or pocket sprung single mattress. A low-profile quilted spring mattress is a practical choice for second beds, children and teenagers, and for frames with limited height.
What sheets fit?
Standard single fitted sheets fit a low-profile mattress, as long as the pocket depth suits the mattress depth shown on the product page. Single bedding is made for 90 x 190cm beds, so check the label before buying and avoid sheets that are too loose.
How do I clean the quilted cover?
Spot clean the quilted top with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry fully before making the bed. Avoid soaking the mattress, and air the room regularly to keep it fresh. Vacuum lightly to lift dust from the quilting.
How often should I rotate it?
Rotate it head to foot every few months to even out wear. This helps the springs and quilting age evenly. Keep it on a supportive, ventilated base, and air the room regularly to keep the mattress fresh and comfortable.
