Shop Affordable Single Bed Mattresses

Find a cheap single mattress from Factory Buys with free delivery on every order. The single is one of the most practical bed sizes available, suited to children's rooms, teenager bedrooms, guest spaces, and compact living arrangements where floor space is a priority. The range covers pocket spring, euro top, pillow top, tight top, bonnell spring, memory foam, cool gel foam, and cooling builds, with thickness options running from 13cm through to 36cm and firmness levels spanning plush, medium firm, and firm. Every single mattress ships free Australia-wide, and pairing your new mattress with a matched single bed frame or single bed base keeps sizing consistent from the foundation up.

Comparing Construction Types

Construction is the most important variable to compare when choosing a single mattress, as it determines how the mattress feels, how it responds to movement, and how it performs over time. Pocket spring mattresses use individually wrapped coils that respond independently to pressure, offering good motion isolation and a responsive feel suited to most sleep positions. Euro top and pillow top builds add a comfort layer stitched onto the mattress surface, giving a softer, more cushioned feel without the separate topper. Memory foam mattresses contour closely to the body and are well suited to side sleepers or those who want pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. Cool gel and cooling foam options manage surface temperature more actively than standard foam, which makes them worth prioritising for warmer sleepers or those in hotter climates. Bonnell spring builds offer a firmer, more traditional spring feel at a practical price point suited to guest rooms and secondary beds.

Thickness and Firmness

Mattress thickness and firmness are two separate considerations, and it is worth assessing both independently rather than assuming one predicts the other. Thickness affects the overall bed height, how easy the mattress is to get in and out of, and how much cushioning is available in the comfort layer, with options in this range running from 13cm profile builds through to 36cm plush tops. Firmness reflects the resistance of the support layer, with plush options suited to side sleepers who need pressure relief at contact points, medium firm suited to combination sleepers and those who want a balanced feel, and firm builds suited to stomach and back sleepers who need a stable, even surface. Check the firmness rating and construction notes on the product listing before ordering, as the feel of a mattress depends on the interaction between the support core and comfort layers rather than thickness alone.

Protecting and Completing the Setup

A single mattress protector extends the working life of a new mattress from day one by creating a barrier against moisture, dust mites, and everyday wear. It is particularly practical for kids' beds and guest rooms that may not be in daily use, where a protector keeps the mattress fresh between uses without any ongoing effort. For those who want to adjust the surface feel of the mattress after sleeping on it for a few nights, a single mattress topper changes the comfort layer independently without replacing the mattress itself. Both accessories are cut to Australian standard single size and sit correctly on the mattress surface without affecting the fit of the bedding layers above.

Bedding and Room Completion

With the mattress in place, correctly sized bedding keeps the full setup functioning well and looking consistent. Single sheet sets are cut to Australian standard single dimensions, so fitted sheets stay anchored through the night without lifting at the corners. The full single bed linen range covers quilt covers, quilts, protectors, and toppers all in the correct single size. For shoppers setting up a full room, single bedroom packages bundle a bed frame and mattress together at a combined price, while single bedroom suites add coordinated storage and bedside furniture for a complete room setup from day one.

How do I choose firmness for a single mattress?

Choose firmness based on how the sleeper lies and what feels supportive. Side sleepers often prefer a softer feel for pressure relief, while back or stomach sleepers usually want a firmer, steadier base. For a child or guest room, a balanced feel is often safest. Check the listing’s firmness notes before buying.

What thickness should I pick for comfort and support?

Thickness affects how cushioned the mattress feels when you lie down and get in and out of bed. A thicker option can feel plusher, but it is not always better quality. Compare the total height, comfort layers, and support core type on the listing, and confirm your bed frame or guard rails suit the height.

Should I choose pocket spring or foam for my sleeper type?

Choose based on feel and movement. Pocket springs can feel more responsive and may reduce partner disturbance, while foam often feels more contouring and still. Check the listing for the support system and comfort layers, then match it to the sleeper’s preference for bounce versus a closer body feel and pressure relief.

Will the mattress fit my base, bed frame, and doorway access?

Factory Buys mattresses are Australian sizes, but always check the exact dimensions on the product listing and compare them to your bed base or bed frame. If you have slats, confirm any support requirements too. For delivery access, measure doorways, hallways, stair turns, and lifts. Free shipping applies to all mattresses Australia-wide with no exceptions.
