Compact, narrow, and able to fit in almost every small nook and cranny in the house, a twin mattress is the dream mattress size for sleepers on a tight budget. And if you're currently seeking premium quality latex twin mattresses at an affordable price, then you're at the right place!
At Turmerry, we offer a wide selection of the best twin mattress types you can find on the market today! With benefits ranging from impeccable support and exquisite comfort to perforated cooling and sustainable longevity, we invite you to take a peek at the affordable luxury we offer!
Let's start off by discussing our core twin-size mattress material - Latex. Obtained from organically raised rubber trees in Sri Lanka, elegantly crafted in our factories, and rigorously tested (and certified) by institutions such as GOLS, we can safely claim that our latex is one of the superior mattress materials you'll ever encounter.
By imbuing this Grade-A quality latex into our 3 mattress models -- all-foam, hybrid, egg crate -- and combining it with wool and cotton, you receive a twin mattress that can comfortably assist you with all your sleep needs!
Where most mattresses fail, Turmerry twin-size mattresses excel. Check out the plethora of unique benefits you receive when opting for our latex twin mattresses -
Strong spine support
Each of our three latex twin-size beds is designed to avoid heavy sinkage while you sleep on them, thereby reducing the risk of spinal misalignment. This makes our mattresses perfect for all sleep positions, including combination sleepers.
Response and bounce
Every time you move around the mattress, it adapts and contours to your body with quick precision. You are also allowed unrestricted mobility atop our mattresses, as latex is a bouncy material and doesn't sink you into it like memory foam does.
Superb pressure relief
After a hard day, you're bound to have tension built up in your pressure points, all of which can be relieved through the innate softness and wonderful contouring offered by our mattresses. Side sleepers will benefit from this aspect the most, as the sleep position requires healthy pressure relief on the sides and shoulders.
Breathable cooling
Studies indicate that those who prefer to sleep cool are much more restful than hot sleepers. The latex in our mattresses, which has an open-cell structure, is evenly perforated throughout to promote airflow. This enhanced breathability prevents heat retention in our twin mattress, keeping you cool throughout the night!
Proper safety
The materials used in our mattresses are tested for harmful substances, such as flame retardants, and deemed harmless to human health. To assure you of this, we have obtained certifications from GOLS, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, and eco-INSTITUT! Another safety aspect you'll get is the strong edge support, which works to prevent you from falling off the edge.
Eco-friendly
At Turmerry, we consider the health of Mother Nature to be of the utmost importance. As such, we harvest latex sustainably, manufacture it eco-consciously, and plant a tree for every mattress order you place!
Resilient longevity
When maintained with care, our latex twin-size mattresses can have a lifespan of 10-15+ years. Latex foam itself is a very resilient material, with the ability to provide a comfortable, sag-free experience lasting 15-20+ years!
Effortless maintenance
Worried about having to constantly check up on our mattresses? Fret not! They are very easy to maintain, as they only require to be aired out and rotated every 3-4 months. Cover it with a mattress protector, and you safeguard it from instances like liquid spills, too!
We didn't want you to feel restricted in your choice, so we offer three different types of latex twin mattresses to choose from, each unique from the other in certain aspects.
The Turmerry Twin Organic Latex Mattress is completely made of Dunlop latex foam layers. It arrives as three layers of foam, imparted with a layer of natural wool for fire resistance, and to be encased in a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover. This all-foam mattress type is a great choice if you prefer stability and soft plushness beneath you.
You can tailor the Twin Organic Latex Mattress to your sleep preferences by choosing a different firmness level (soft, medium, firm) and height (8", 10", 12").
Can't decide between a spring mattress type and a foam mattress type? Why not choose both? That's what our Twin Latex Hybrid Mattress provides - the perfect balance between an 8-inch layer of pocket coils and a 2-inch layer of FSC-certified Talalay latex. If you prefer a bouncy mattress with a medium-firm feel, then this is a great option for you!
Love the feel of an egg crate mattress topper on your bed? Well, you can now make the egg crate a permanent part of your bed with the Turmerry Twin Egg Crate Mattress! They have a similar construction as our Twin Organic Latex Mattress but with the added benefit of a 2.4-inch egg crate foam layer.
This is a great selection if you prefer an all-foam twin mattress with improved pressure relief and body contouring. The customization of our Twin Egg Crate Mattress covers a wide range of firmness levels and heights, similar to the Twin Organic Latex Mattress.
Among the most common US mattress sizes, the twin size is the smallest, with a dimension of 38" X 75". It is also referred to as a "single" mattress sometimes. Going up against sizes like twin XL, full, queen, king, and Cal king, a twin-size mattress is budget-friendly, built to fit small spaces, and ideal for a thin solo sleeper.
If you fall into any of these categories, then yes, a twin-size mattress could be a good choice for you -
Short adult (below 6 feet)
Thin adult
Young child
Growing kids (teenagers)
Solo sleeper
On a budget
As you might've guessed, twin-size mattresses don't suit couples or heavy/tall sleepers like a full or queen mattress does. They're best used for -
Guest rooms
Studio apartments
Small apartments/rooms
Kids bedrooms
Bunk beds/daybeds/trundle beds
Although they are beneficial for a certain sect of sleepers, twin-size mattresses are by no means ideal for everyone. Let's look at the benefits as well as the downfalls of choosing a twin mattress -
Budget-friendly: Twin-size mattresses are usually the most affordable mattress size on the market. If you're on a tight budget but still want a quality mattress, then opting for a twin mattress is a great choice.
Saves on space: For those of us living in small studio rooms, apartments, dorm rooms, etc., the narrow and compact design of twin beds can help save a lot of valuable space.
Versatile, multipurpose, portable: Twin beds can easily fit onto different bed frames, such as bunk beds, daybeds, trundle beds, etc. They can also act as a bed at home or a bed on the road, such as in an RV or a car.
Did you know - RV mattress sizes are much more compact than standard mattress sizes. Want to know why? Our RV mattress sizes guide has all the details you need!
Restrictive mobility: Doesn't matter if you're thin or thick, tall or short; a twin mattress' narrow design restricts how much you can move around on it. This may be a deterrent for restless sleepers who constantly move around during sleep.
Limited support: Tall people (above 6 feet) and thick people may find parts of their bodies protruding out of a twin mattress. This results in limited support and discomfort.
Unsuitable for couples/families: The twin mattress size is best suited to solo sleepers and features very little space for a sleep partner(s). A queen mattress size or above is necessary for this scenario.

Twin vs. Twin XL -- The "XL" in twin XL signifies an addition of 5 inches to the length of a twin mattress (38" X 75"), making the dimension of a twin XL = 38" X 80". This extra length provides greater legroom, making the twin XL better suited for taller people.
Twin vs. Full -- A full-size mattress shares the same length as a twin but is much larger in width, with a dimension of 54″ X 75″. The increase in width makes a full mattress viable for two people to sleep on, albeit with a bit of adjustment in space. Single adults will find a full mattress to be much more spacious than a twin mattress.
Twin vs. Queen/King/Cal King -- A queen mattress (60″ X 80″), king mattress (76″ X 80″), and cal king mattress (72" X 84") are all larger than a twin mattress. A queen mattress can comfortably support couples, while a king and cal king mattress can support an entire family with kids. They are, however, costly and need a huge bedroom to fit.
There are five common twin mattress types available today, each differing in construction and material. They are -
Memory Foam Mattress: Memory foam is a synthetic material obtained by turning polyurethane more viscous and elastic. These mattresses are renowned for their high body contouring ability, thanks to the adaptive properties of the material. Make sure you buy your memory foam from a brand with a tested CertiPUR-US certification.
Latex Mattress: Latex is liquid rubber obtained from rubber trees, which is then manufactured into foam layers. Latex mattresses are well-known for their balance between luxury firm support and on-par pressure relief. Their natural composition means they are often free of harmful levels of chemical substances found in synthetic foam mattresses.
Innerspring Mattress: Innerspring mattress models combine thin layers of foam cushioning with firm layers of coils. They are traditional and are best known for the higher firmness levels offered. Side sleepers may find their firmer surfaces to be uncomfortably firm.
Hybrid Mattress: Hybrid mattress models combine thicker layers of foam with firm layers of coils. Hybrids provide a medium firm feel, as the cushioning is much better, and the materials are often of higher quality than innersprings. This medium-firm level of firmness caters much better to all sleeping positions, including side sleepers.
Airbed: Airbeds are most often created with textile-reinforced plastic or rubber and contain air chambers. Airbed brands tend to offer a wide selection of customizations. Their firmness can also be adjusted by adding/removing air. Airbeds, however, are best used as temporary beds for traveling, guests, etc., as they are not as supportive as the other mattress types.
The battle between the two kings of all-foam mattress types has been raging on for a few good years now.
On the one hand, there's memory foam. This lab-made material conforms very well to the sleeper, to the point where it even remembers your body contours after a while, earning it the name "memory" foam.
On the other hand, there's latex, the bouncy, natural counterpart that seeks to provide a balance between contouring and firmness.
As per our experience, latex mattresses have often come out on top. Let us explain why -
Latex can be free of harmful levels of chemicals that lead to the off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in memory foam. VOCs have been known to be carcinogenic in some cases due to the chemicals you end up inhaling.
Latex has an open-cell structure through which it can prevent heat retention, a common issue faced by traditional memory foam users. Further perforations could end up making latex even more breathable and cooling for the sleeper.
Latex is much more durable than memory foam, with a resilient and sag-free lifespan of 15-20+ years when cared for properly. This makes your investment worthwhile.
Latex doesn't sink like memory foam, but instead provides bounce and allows you to move freely on top of it. Light sleepers awoken by the "stuck" feeling experienced in memory foam can easily avoid it with latex.
Latex's sink-free aspect can also influence the amount of spine support you get. Whereas you put your spine at risk of misalignment with memory foam, latex aims to prevent this at all costs.
Latex has a quick response time to your movements, which allows it to adjust to your body with precision, constantly providing you with the desired comfort and support.
There are many other aspects as well, such as eco-friendliness, motion isolation, etc., that make latex mattresses worth investing in!
All-foam mattresses are those that are comprised entirely of foam. These include mattress types like latex, gel memory foam, and memory foam mattress. All foam mattress types are well known for providing the sleeper with a plush, cushioning mattress surface.
All-foam mattress types are better at -
Contouring and Pressure-relief: With each layer being composed of foam, an all-foam mattress becomes the ideal candidate for those seeking enhanced contouring and pressure relief. These mattresses also lay out your body weight evenly across their surface, reducing the pressure put on your body. Thin sleepers and side sleepers find this aspect to suit them more.
Motion Isolation: All-foam mattresses are better at absorbing motion than spring mattresses. Where the spring layers of a spring mattress are likely to transfer motion, the foam layers of an all-foam mattress are more likely to absorb them, making it ideal for couples.
Noise Reduction: Since foams do not make the creaking noises you experience in a spring mattress, all-foam mattresses are suitable for light sleepers who are awoken by slight environmental changes.
Customized Comfort: Nowadays, all-foam mattresses are available in various firmness/thickness levels, allowing you to choose the one that suits your preferred sleep style.
Spring mattresses combine foam with spring layers. The spring layers act as the support core, while the foam acts as the comfort layer. These include innersprings and hybrid mattresses. Spring mattress types are well known for providing the sleeper with a bouncy, responsive, medium-firm mattress surface.
Spring mattress types are better at -
Support and Bounce: With the strong spring support core, spring mattresses provide a healthy amount of support and bounce to sleepers. This makes them suitable for back and stomach sleepers, as well as heavy individuals.
Response: Moving around an all-foam mattress could sometimes prove to be difficult, as the material can pull you into it. Spring mattresses tend to alleviate this issue by being highly responsive, letting you move around with ease, and providing you with quick support.
Cooling: The spring layer of a spring mattress is openly-structured, allowing for unrestricted airflow through them. This is ideal for hot sleepers, who get to enjoy a cool night's sleep.
At Turmerry, we have experience with both spring and all-foam mattress types. As per our expertise on the subject, we'd say both are good. We would, however, recommend a type from each one. For all-foam mattresses, we would recommend opting for latex, and for spring mattresses, we would recommend hybrids. These options carry the most benefits!
Besides the mattress size, there are a few other features one should be wary of when choosing a twin mattress. These include -
A firmness level that suits your sleeping position. Generally, side sleepers do well with a medium-firm mattress, while back and stomach sleepers may require something firmer.
A mattress height/thickness that can accommodate your weight. Mattress height can affect the comfort and support you receive. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier you weigh, the higher/thicker your mattress should be.
Strong edge support to prevent you from falling off the edge. Twin-size mattresses are narrow, which puts you at a higher risk of falling off them if you're a restless sleeper.
Breathable mattress materials/fibers for a cool night's sleep. Look for a mattress type that has an open cell structure, such as latex, so that the unrestricted airflow can prevent you from waking up sweating every night.
Durability, and a good warranty. Look for brands with good reputations that claim at least 6-8 years of mattress durability, and back it up with a warranty spanning a similar amount of time.
With all the data we've gathered and the experience we've accumulated on the subject of twin-size mattresses, we can safely recommend a latex mattress as the best twin mattress type.
Because a natural/organic latex mattress can counter many of the issues you'll face with memory foam, innersprings, and airbeds. They offer a wonderful medium-firm feel that balances comfort, support, contouring, and pressure relief. A latex mattress from well-known brands can also be tested for customer safety!
Look for a twin mattress size with perforated natural/organic latex foam, an all-foam or hybrid construction, and "tested" certification from institutions like GOLS, OEKO-TEX, etc. Also, if the mattress comes with a cover, see if it's something soft, like organic cotton.
Latex mattresses come with a wide selection of customizable options, and that too from many different brands. Make sure you buy from reputed and trusted brands like Turmerry to get the best twin mattresses on the market!
You have two main avenues through which you can buy a good twin mattress. These are -
Buying a mattress online is very convenient, as you just have to click a few buttons and wait for your order to arrive. You also find a lot of free gifts and good deals online, and you don't have to visit multiple shops to compare prices.
The biggest downside of buying a mattress online is that you don't get to touch and feel it beforehand. This downside can be mitigated if the mattress has a trial period, like most online brands offer nowadays.
Buying a mattress offline gives you the ability to try it out first and see if it suits your sleep style. You may get good deals during general mattress sales or clearance sales. You'll have to visit multiple shops, though, to find a good twin mattress.
The downsides of offline shopping include - being restricted to nearby brands, the inability to view a wide selection of mattress types, and the potential for high-pressure sales tactics from in-store associates.
We would suggest shopping online as the best avenue for finding your ideal mattress.
You are free to choose what you want without pressure, and that too from various options containing reviews for legitimacy.
Online mattress brands can also offer better deals, as they have lower overhead costs than offline stores.
TIP: If you're not confident in the type of mattress you desire, then we would recommend trying a few out at your nearest store before buying them online.
Thanks to the plethora of resources available at our fingertips, seeking a reliable mattress retailer has never been easier. Here are the important details you must check to ensure you can buy from a certain retailer -
Healthy Contact Details: You must have at least 2 or more hassle-free ways of reaching the retailer. A seller's contact details, such as email, phone number, address, etc., can often be found on their websites or stores. Ensure you can get to them in a timely manner and gauge how well they respond to their customers.
Good Reviews and Reputation: No matter how obscure and small a retailer is, you can always find out how its previous customers review its products. There are many independent blogs and websites that even specifically function to host reviews! A retailer with good reviews and a good reputation can often be seen as reliable.
Favorable warranties and policies: A reliable retailer must sell a product they themselves rely on being good for the customer. As such, the warranty must be able to cover wide aspects, and that too for at least two years. The policies of the retailer, such as their return policy, should also be consumer-friendly and transparent. Always look for details regarding trial periods, fees, and conditions for returns or exchanges.
These three things make a retailer worth your precious time and money. Of course, there are a number of other factors that aren't mentioned here, such as secure payment options, delivery and installation services, active community presence, etc. Be sure to do your research and invest in a retailer you have faith in!
