Small Single Beds

Small single beds measure 2'6" wide (75cm) and are the most compact standard bed size available, making them a popular choice for a child's first "big bed" after their cot, as well as for guest rooms, box rooms and other space-limited spaces. Shop small single bed frames, divan beds and mattresses, all sized to fit, with free UK delivery included as standard. Filter by style, storage option or budget to find the right fit for the room.

Is a small single bed right for your room?

A small single is the ideal in-between size for anyone outgrowing a cot bed but not yet ready for a full 3ft single — which is why it's such a common choice for children's bedrooms. The narrower width also makes it a practical option for smaller guest rooms, studio flats or box rooms where a standard single wouldn't comfortably fit alongside other furniture.

If storage is a priority, a small single divan base or ottoman frame can make good use of an otherwise compact room, with drawer or lift-up storage built into the base itself rather than needing separate furniture. For a simpler set-up, a small single bed frame paired with a separate mattress gives more flexibility on style, from painted wooden frames to upholstered options in a range of fabrics.

Whichever style you choose, pair it with a small single mattress sized to match — we stock open coil, orthopaedic and hybrid options, so it's worth checking our mattress guide if you're buying the two separately.
