Single Mattresses

Why a single mattress might be the right size for your needs

A single mattress is a practical and space-saving choice that doesn’t necessarily compromise on comfort. Whether you're furnishing a child’s bedroom, setting up a guest room, or creating a peaceful sleep space for yourself in a smaller room, a single mattress offers just the right balance of functionality and flexibility. It’s also a great choice for studio apartments or shared living arrangements where space is at a premium. Pair it with one of our single beds or a coordinated single bed bedroom set to complete your room with comfort and style.

How to choose the right firmness for your new single mattress

When shopping for a new single bed mattress, firmness plays a big role in achieving a good night’s sleep. Soft mattresses are perfect for side sleepers or smaller bodies, offering plush support that cushions the shoulders and hips. Medium firmness is ideal for most sleepers, especially growing kids or teens, as it balances support with comfort. If you prefer more support or tend to sleep on your back or stomach, a firmer single mattress can help keep your spine aligned. Not sure what suits you best? Our full mattress collection includes a range of firmness levels so you can find your perfect match.

Choosing a single mattress for kids, teens and guest rooms

A single bed mattress is a popular and practical option for children and teenagers, offering plenty of space to grow without overwhelming the room. For kids, look for a supportive, breathable mattress that promotes healthy posture and regulates temperature through the night. Teens often benefit from a medium to firm feel to support growing bodies and active lifestyles. Guest rooms also benefit from a mattress single in size, especially when you want to offer comfort without sacrificing space. Many of our mattress-in-a-box options are ideal for quick and easy setup in guest spaces and are available in memory foam, pocket spring or hybrid designs.

Key benefits of having a single mattress for different sleepers

One of the key advantages of a single mattress is its versatility. It’s perfect for solo sleepers, kids transitioning from a cot, or adults who want a compact sleep solution. They’re easier to move, rotate, and fit through tight hallways or stairs, making them a smart choice for renters or frequent movers. If you’re after a contouring feel, our memory foam mattresses offer pressure relief and motion isolation, which are ideal for restless sleepers. And with the right bedding and base from our bedroom furniture collection, your single bed mattress can be just as stylish as it is comfortable.
