Description
A new mattress for your Jay-Be Upright guest bed
The Jay-Be Contract Upright is built to last for years in hotels, B&Bs, care homes and spare rooms, and the steel frame usually outlives the first mattress. This listing is the replacement: the same 92 cm wide, hand-tufted mattress that Jay-Be fits to the Upright at the factory, sold on its own so you can refresh a tired bed without buying a whole new frame. It is the quickest way to bring an older Upright back up to a standard you are happy to put a paying guest on.
Because the Upright stores standing on its end, its mattress is held flat against the solid wooden base by two straps. A generic single mattress is the wrong size for that: a standard UK single is 90 Ć 190 cm, while the Upright’s mattress is about 92 cm wide and 182ā183 cm long, so it sits square on the base and the straps close properly. Buying the matching Jay-Be mattress avoids an overhang at the sides, a gap at the headboard and a bed that will not stand up neatly.
Choose the same mattress or upgrade
All three mattresses fit every Contract Upright frame, so you can replace like for like or move to a different type:
- Deep Sprung (901951): an open-coil spring unit under performance wool and e-Fibre™ comfort layers, hand-tufted so the fillings stay put after years of guests. A firm, traditional feel and the lowest price of the three.
- Deep Pocket Sprung (901905): individually pocketed springs that respond to the sleeper’s shape instead of dipping as one unit. The best choice if the bed is used for several nights in a row, or for side sleepers.
- Derwent Waterproof (901921): a sprung mattress in a blue, fully waterproof and breathable contract fabric with side air vents. Jay-Be describes the cover as hypo-allergenic and resistant to microbial growth. It wipes clean between guests, which is why care homes, student lets and holiday parks choose it.
Every version is 100% foam-free. The e-Fibre™ comfort layers are made by Jay-Be from recycled plastic bottles and can be recycled again at the end of the mattress’s life.
Is my bed an Upright?
The Contract Upright does not fold in half. It tips up onto its end on four castors, with the mattress strapped flat against a solid wooden base, and it has a wooden headboard. If your Jay-Be bed folds in the middle, it is a folding bed (for example the Rollaway, Grand, TC80 Tourist or J-Bed), and those beds take their own mattresses. If you are unsure, check the label on the frame or send us a photo before you order and we will confirm the fit.

Frequently asked questions
Will a normal single mattress fit my Upright bed?
Not well. A UK single is 90 Ć 190 cm, which is narrower and longer than the Upright’s base. It will overhang the headboard end, and the straps that hold the mattress when the bed is stored will not sit properly. This replacement is made to the Upright’s size.
Which mattress should I choose for a hotel or B&B?
For guest rooms, the Deep Pocket Sprung gives the most comfortable night and suits guests who stay more than one night. For rooms where spills or accidents are likely, such as family rooms or care settings, choose the Derwent Waterproof.
Can I change from a sprung to a waterproof mattress?
Yes. All three mattresses are the same size and fit every Contract Upright frame, so you can switch type when you replace it.
How do I fit it?
Lay the bed flat, unclip the two straps and lift the old mattress off. Place the new mattress on the wooden base with its edges square to the frame, then refasten the straps before you stand the bed upright again. No tools are needed.
Does it come with a protector?
No, the mattress is supplied on its own. A waterproof protector is worth adding if the bed is used by many different guests, and it keeps the mattress clean between deep cleans.
