Quick answer: A super single mattress size in Singapore is 107x190 cm, while a standard single bed size is 91x190 cm. A super single gives one sleeper more width without taking as much bedroom space as a Queen mattress. If you are buying a bed frame too, allow approximately 10-15 cm extra on each dimension for the full single bed frame size or super single bed frame footprint.
You have got the BTO keys, and the spare room suddenly needs to be a bedroom, study room, and storage zone. This is where the super single bed size starts to make sense, especially for teenagers, solo adults, and compact guest rooms.
What is the super single bed size in cm?
The standard super single size in cm is 107x190 cm. That means the mattress is 107 cm wide and 190 cm long. Compared with a single bed, the super single is 16 cm wider, which is enough to feel less cramped without taking over the whole room.
For most Singapore bedrooms, a Super Single is the best solo-adult upgrade. A Single is fine for children and short-term guests, but for daily use, the extra 16 cm of width makes a real difference.
| Bed size | Mattress size in cm | Approximate bed frame footprint | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 91x190 cm | Approximately 101-106x200-205 cm | Children, compact guest rooms, very small bedrooms |
| Super Single | 107x190 cm | Approximately 117-122x200-205 cm | Teenagers, solo adults, spare rooms, smaller master bedrooms |
| Queen | 152x190 cm | Approximately 162-167x200-205 cm | Couples, larger bedrooms, most HDB master bedrooms |
| King | 182x190 cm | Approximately 192-197x200-205 cm | Larger master bedrooms with enough wardrobe and walking space |
Super single mattress size vs single bed size
A standard single bed size is narrower. It works when the room is tight or the sleeper is a child. A super single mattress size gives more comfort for one person, especially if the sleeper turns often, sleeps on their side, or likes a little extra space around the shoulders.
If the room can fit it, choose a Super Single over a Single for a teenager or adult. The room loses only 16 cm of extra width, but the sleeper gains a noticeably better everyday sleep setup.
| Decision point | Choose Single | Choose Super Single |
|---|---|---|
| Room size | The room is very narrow or shared with a study desk | The room has enough space for a wider mattress |
| Sleeper | Child, occasional guest, smaller sleeper | Teenager, solo adult, taller or broader sleeper |
| Daily comfort | Basic sleeping space is enough | More turning room is important |
| Future use | The bed may be used short-term | The bed will be used for years |
If you are choosing between the two, compare single size mattresses with super single mattresses based on who will use the bed most often.
Single bed measurements and frame size
Single bed measurements usually refer to the mattress, not the full frame. In Singapore, a standard single mattress is 91x190 cm. The single bed frame size is usually larger because of the side rails, headboard, footboard, upholstery, or platform structure.
As a working rule, add approximately 10-15 cm to each mattress dimension when planning the bed frame footprint. A thicker upholstered frame may need more space than a slim metal or wooden frame.
- Single mattress: 91x190 cm
- Super single mattress: 107x190 cm
- Approximate extra frame allowance: 10-15 cm on each dimension
- Suggested walking space beside the bed: around 60 cm where possible
This is why a room that technically fits a mattress may still feel tight once the bed frame, bedside table, wardrobe, and door swing are included.
Is a super single size good for a small HDB room?
Yes, a super single size is often a good fit for a small HDB room, especially when the room is used by one person. It gives better comfort than a Single while still leaving more floor space than a Queen.
For a 3-room or 4-room HDB spare room, a Super Single can leave room for a compact wardrobe, narrow bedside table, or study desk. The key is layout. Push the bed against one wall if the room needs a desk, or centre it only if you can still move comfortably on both sides.
The honest trade-off is storage. A Super Single is more comfortable than a Single, but it still takes up more space. If the room is already tight, a storage bed may make more sense than adding another chest of drawers.
Before you order a super single bed frame
Measure the bedroom and the delivery path. Many HDB lift openings are approximately 0.8 m wide, main doors are around 0.9 m, and internal room doors are often around 0.8 m. A bed frame may arrive in parts, but bulky headboards and bases still need a clear route into the room.
| Area to measure | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Lift opening | Width and height | Large bed frame parts must fit through before reaching your unit |
| Common corridor | Turning space and narrow corners | Frames can be hard to angle around tight turns |
| Main door | Clear opening after gate and frame | The usable opening is often smaller than expected |
| Bedroom door | Internal door width | This is where oversized parts often get stuck |
| Room layout | Wardrobe, sockets, windows, and door swing | The bed should not block daily movement |
Complimentary delivery and professional assembly come with qualifying orders, relevant when a bed frame arrives in several parts and the room has tight corners. A cheaper self-assembly option can become less attractive once you factor in damage risk, missing parts, and no clear local help if the frame does not fit.
What about king single bed size?
King single bed size is a term shoppers sometimes see online, but it is not one of the standard Singapore mattress sizes in this guide. Do not assume it is the same as a Super Single. If a product uses the king single label, check the exact width and length in cm before buying the mattress, bed frame, bedsheets, or mattress protector.
For Singapore homes, the safer buying path is to match your room to the common local sizes first: Single, Super Single, Queen, or King. This makes future mattress and bedding replacement much easier.
How to choose the right super single mattress
Size is only the first decision. Mattress feel matters too, especially in Singapore bedrooms without regular aircon. Humidity can make warm, poorly ventilated sleep setups feel uncomfortable, so breathability and fabric choice should not be an afterthought.
If the room is used daily, browse mattresses for Singapore bedrooms by size, firmness, and material. If the bed is for a guest room, a medium-firm mattress is usually the safest choice because it suits a wider range of sleepers.
- Choose firmer support if the sleeper prefers a steadier feel.
- Choose better cushioning if the sleeper is a side sleeper.
- Choose breathable materials for rooms without regular aircon.
- Choose a mattress protector if the room is humid or used by children.
Match the mattress with the right bed frame
A super single mattress should sit neatly on a matching super single bed frame. If the frame is too large, the mattress can shift. If the frame is too small, the mattress may overhang and wear unevenly.
Browse bed frames in Singapore after confirming the mattress size. Divan beds give a neat base. Storage beds help with spare bedding and bulky items. Wooden and upholstered frames add more visual weight, so check the full footprint before ordering.
Final check before buying a super single bed
Mark the mattress and frame footprint on the floor with masking tape before buying. Open the wardrobe. Pull out the study chair. Walk from the door to the window. If the tape already feels too large, the actual bed will not feel smaller once it arrives.
A growing share of Mega Furniture's furniture range now comes from its own factories in Batu Pahat, Johor and Foshan, Guangdong, both operational since late 2025. Quality checks happen in-house before pieces ship to Singapore, where delivery and professional assembly are handled locally. It is not the whole range yet, but the programme is expanding through 2028.
