EU Small Single Mattresses
The EU small single (80 x 200cm) is the narrow continental standard: full 200cm length in an 80cm width, sometimes listed simply by its dimensions.
Why choose an EU small single?
- It's the continental narrow standard, common in European guest beds and slatted frames.
- The full 200cm length means narrow doesn't mean short.
- Two 80 x 200cm mattresses side by side make a 160 x 200cm split king, a common continental set-up.
- It's 5cm wider than a UK small single, which is noticeable for a teenager or a guest.
Allow at least 2m x 2.9m; use 80 x 200cm continental fitted sheets with a UK single duvet.

How big is an EU small single mattress?
80 x 200cm. Some retailers list it as a European small single, others simply as 80 x 200cm.
Why choose an 80 x 200cm mattress?
It fits European frames built to 80cm, and a pair side by side makes a 160 x 200cm split king.
What bedding fits?
80 x 200cm continental fitted sheets; a UK single duvet works on top.
Is an EU small single the same as a UK small single?
No. A UK small single is 75 x 190cm, so the EU size is 5cm wider and 10cm longer, and neither fits the other's frame properly.
