Mattress Toppers That Are Narrower Than the Traditional Twin Size

A mattress topper is a cozy pad that sits on top of your mattress. Mattress toppers are often made out of memory foam. A mattress topper provides extra comfort to create a soft sleeping surface. It is also good to use a mattress topper if you have an old mattress or a very hard mattress that is not comfortable.



The traditional foam mattress topper comes in king size, queen size, double and twin size. However, if you have a very small guest room or if you are looking for a mattress topper for a child's bed, then you will likely need a mattress topper that is smaller than a twin size. Measure your mattress to ensure that it does fall below the dimensions of a twin size. Twin-size mattresses are 38'' or 39" x 75". Some twin or single mattresses made for college dorms are longer than 75" and are called super singles.

1. Custom Mattress Toppers

   • If you are unable to find a mattress topper that fits your bed, you may need to look for a custom cut of memory foam. Companies like All Memory Foam create custom mattress toppers for beds like hospital beds and boat beds.

   Single Mattress Toppers

   • If your bed is 30" wide, you likely need a small single mattress topper. These mattress toppers can be a little more difficult to find in the USA but are often available online.

   Mattress Toppers for a Child's Bed

   • For a child's bed, toddler bed, or crib, there are a number of quilted and wool mattress toppers available. Many of them also come in hypoallergenic and organic varieties.
