Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a European single children's mattress at 90 x 200cm?
It measures 90 x 200cm, which is 10cm longer than a standard UK single. Make sure your bed frame is made for a European single, as a UK single frame at 190cm length will be too short.
Is this waterproof children's mattress fully waterproof?
The title describes it as waterproof, which relates to the mattress's own cover. Please read the product description for exactly how the surface performs and how to clean it so it stays in good condition.
Will a European single fit a bunk or cabin bed?
Only on frames made for 90 x 200cm. Many UK bunk beds take a 190cm length, so check the base size, the maximum mattress depth and the guard rail height before ordering, and follow the manufacturer's guidance.
What age is a European single waterproof mattress suitable for?
The longer 200cm length suits taller children and teenagers who are outgrowing a standard single. Younger children need a firmer mattress, so check the firmness in the details and your bed's guidance.
What is the waterproof children's mattress made from?
The title gives the European single size and the waterproof finish but not the filling or depth, so please check the product description for the full construction and depth before ordering, especially if it is going on a bed with limited space.
How firm should a children's mattress be for growing bodies?
Growing bodies generally need a supportive mattress that is not overly soft. Check the firmness in the product details, and choose a firmer feel for younger children in line with your bed manufacturer's guidance.
What bedding fits a European single 90 x 200cm mattress?
You need European single bedding, with a fitted sheet sized 90 x 200cm. A standard UK single sheet is 10cm too short and may pull off the corners, so check the size before buying.
How long does it take to deliver a European single mattress?
Estimated delivery dates for UK addresses are shown at checkout, so you can see timings before paying. If your new bed is arriving soon, check those dates and order in good time.
How do I clean and rotate a waterproof children's mattress?
Wipe the mattress's own surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry fully. Turn it head to foot every few months, and air the room regularly to keep the mattress fresh.
What is the difference between a European single and a UK kids single mattress?
Both are 90cm wide, but a European single is 200cm long while a UK single is 190cm. Choose the European size only if your bed frame is built for it, and measure before you order.
