Single Size mattress– 90 x 200cm
This is the smallest of the adult size mattresses. It’s compact sizing means it’s ideal for children or those living in small spaces such as a studio or apartment. A single mattress would be suitable for a child and can come in two length sizes 90 x 190cm or 90 x200cm. The 90x190cm size is commonly used for beds, daybeds and bunk beds. For a single adult, or those with small bedrooms or guest rooms we would probably recommend a slightly larger mattress size of 90 x200cm.
One question we get asked is can I use two single mattresses on a King bed? Well, yes you can. Two single mattresses 90 x 200 make up the dimensions of one King size mattress. This is popular when a couple have different comfort preferences eg soft and firm or medium and firm. This option is also popular when people purchase an adjustable frame. Just be mindful that the mattresses should be foam so that they can adjust with the bed frame. Choosing separate mattresses allows couple to sit up or lie back without disrupting each other. When using two single mattress’ on a King bed frame you can either use separate Single Bed sets or a single King size bed set.
