Small double trade mattresses, or 4ft mattresses, are an excellent choice for those seeking a balance between space-saving dimensions and comfort. These mattresses are ideal for smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, or rental properties where space is limited. The dimensions of small double memory foam mattresses and other types of small double mattresses typically measure 120cm x 190cm, providing a comfortable night’s sleep without overwhelming the room.
Single vs. Small Double vs. Standard Double Trade Mattresses
When selecting a mattress, it's essential to consider the available space and how the mattress will be used. Single mattresses, which measure 3ft (90cm) wide, are perfect for compact rooms, children's bedrooms, or for solo sleepers who don't require much space. However, if you need a bit more room, small double bed mattresses offer a great compromise.
A small double mattress is narrower than a standard double, measuring 4ft (120cm) wide compared to the standard double's 4ft6 (135cm). This makes small double mattresses ideal for smaller spaces where a standard double might feel too large, yet they still provide more sleeping space than a single mattress. Despite the difference in width, small double bed mattresses offer enough room for a single sleeper who prefers extra space or a cozy fit for two.
Each size has its benefits: single mattresses are ideal for compact spaces, small doubles offer a middle ground, and standard double mattresses provide ample space for couples or those who enjoy a more expansive sleep surface. Your choice should depend on the size of the room and the needs of the sleeper.
The Importance of Crib 5 Certification
Crib 5 certification is essential for trade mattresses, ensuring that they meet stringent fire safety standards. This certification is particularly important in environments such as hotels, student accommodations, and rental properties, where fire safety is a top priority. Crib 5 small double mattresses are designed to be fire retardant, making them a safer choice for commercial use.
Crib 5 mattresses are not just limited to commercial settings—they can also be used in the home, offering peace of mind for families who prioritise safety. Whether you’re furnishing a guest room or upgrading your main bedroom, a Crib 5 certified mattress provides an extra layer of protection without compromising on comfort.
Types of Small Double Trade Mattresses
At Archers Sleepcentre, we offer a wide range of small double trade mattresses to cater to various needs and preferences:
- Open coil mattresses: Known for their affordability and durability, open coil mattresses provide solid support and are ideal for those seeking a cost-effective option.
- Pocket sprung mattresses: These small double pocket sprung mattresses feature individually wrapped springs that move independently, offering superior support and reducing motion transfer, making them perfect for shared beds.
- Foam mattresses: Foam mattresses, including memory foam, provide excellent contouring and pressure relief, supporting your body throughout the night for a restful sleep.
For those who want the best of both worlds, our hybrid mattresses combine the support of either pocket springs or open coil springs with the comfort of a top layer of memory foam, cool gel-infused foam, or latex. These mattresses are designed to offer tailored support and comfort, adapting to your body’s shape and providing a cooler, more comfortable sleep surface.
Firmness Ratings for Small Double Trade Mattresses
Choosing the right firmness level is crucial for ensuring a good night's sleep. Our small double trade mattresses are available in a range of firmness ratings to suit different preferences:
- Soft to medium: Ideal for side sleepers who need a softer surface to cradle their shoulders and hips, reducing pressure points and promoting a comfortable sleep.
- Medium: A versatile option that provides a balance of softness and support, suitable for back sleepers and those who change positions frequently during the night.
- Medium to firm: This firmness level offers more support while still providing a touch of softness, perfect for back sleepers who need additional spinal support.
- Firm: Best for those who prefer a solid, supportive surface, firm mattresses are ideal for stomach sleepers and those with back pain, helping to maintain proper spinal alignment throughout the night.
How to Care for Your New Small Double Trade Mattress
To ensure your new small double mattress lasts as long as possible, proper care is essential. Always use a mattress protector to shield your mattress from spills and stains, which can extend its lifespan. Regularly rotate your mattress to prevent uneven wear and tear, especially with double pocket sprung mattresses and hybrid models. For foam and memory foam mattresses, avoid bending or folding them, as this can damage the material.
