2'6 Small Single Mattresses

What Size is a 2ft 6 Small Single Mattress?

A 2'6 small single mattress in the UK measures 75cm x 190cm (that’s 2 feet 6 inches wide by 6 feet 3 inches long). It's one of the most compact standard UK mattress sizes, designed to fit snugly into smaller spaces.. If you're working with limited floor space or furnishing a room that needs to stay practical and uncluttered, the small single mattress size could be right option.

Though it's narrower than a standard single (3'0"), it still offers adequate room for one person, especially children or teens. Many customers choose this size for guest bedrooms, bunk beds, children’s rooms, or even caravans and boats, where every inch matters. Need more help understanding sizes?

Who is a Small Single Mattress Best For?

A small single mattress is ideal for anyone needing a compact sleep solution. It's particularly well-suited for:

• Children transitioning from a toddler bed
• Teens or small-framed adults in single-occupancy bedrooms
• Box rooms, narrow spare bedrooms, or HMO setups
• Bunk beds, trundle beds, or pull-out guest beds

Despite its size, many of our models offer full-sized features like pocket springs, memory foam comfort layers, or orthopaedic support, meaning you don’t have to compromise on features just because you're saving space.
