A standard single will measure 90cm in width and 190cm in length. This should be long enough for the average adult and this should be considered as the average height is just above the 5’5″ person this mattress will accommodate.

Second and very important to comfort is the thickness of the memory layer. In general it is wise to get at least 3″ of memory foam on the mattress as it reduces pressure and will provide a much more comfortable sleep for the person mattress sale.
Density of the visco elastic material is also crucial when buying this type of mattress. Density is expressed in terms of pounds and is measured per square foot. Essentially this means a block of memory foam 1 ft square, rated at 4.5 lbs would weigh 4.5 lbs. Higher density is usually better. It aids in the longevity of the mattress and higher density foam will be more responsive to temperature.
These mattresses work because the cells inside the memory foam respond to increases in heat. They mold to areas of greater heat (those that are in contact with the mattress more) and help reduce pressure. Enhancing the heat responsiveness with higher density foam makes it react more readily and reduce pressure in areas like the hip, knees, and back.
The base supporting the mattress is an important part of the memory foam experience. The rest of the 11″ mattress is made of the support that also will serve to carry heat away from the body and to give the memory foam mattress a support that is essential to the experience.
