Quick answer: A super single mattress in Singapore usually measures 107 cm x 190 cm, making it 16 cm wider than a standard single mattress size of 91 cm x 190 cm. Choose a super single if one person wants more shoulder room but the bedroom cannot comfortably take a queen. For most common bedrooms in Singapore, super single is the most useful upgrade from a single mattress because the extra width improves comfort without pushing the room into queen-size problems.
The mattress size matters most after you see the actual room. Many BTO and condo bedrooms look generous on a floor plan, then feel much tighter once the wardrobe, study desk, and bed frame enter the picture. A super single gives one sleeper a more comfortable surface while keeping the room usable.
Super Single Dimension in Singapore
The standard super single dimension in Singapore is 107 cm wide by 190 cm long. In inches, that is close to 42 inches by 75 inches. Mattress height varies by brand and construction, so check the product page before choosing sheets, mattress protectors, or a bed frame.
| Mattress size | Singapore standard dimensions | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 91 cm x 190 cm | Children, compact guest rooms, tight common bedrooms | Useful when floor space matters more than sleeping width. |
| Super Single | 107 cm x 190 cm | Teenagers, single adults, guest rooms, compact master bedrooms | Wider than single without taking up queen-size space. |
| Queen | 152 cm x 190 cm | Couples or single sleepers who want more space | Needs more room around the bed and wardrobe. |
| King | 182 cm x 190 cm | Larger master bedrooms | Comfortable, but often too wide for smaller Singapore bedrooms. |

What is the Difference Between Single and Super Single?
The main difference between single and super single is width. A single mattress measures 91 cm x 190 cm, while a super single mattress measures 107 cm x 190 cm. The length stays the same, but the super single gives 16 cm more width.
That extra width matters more than it sounds. It gives a growing child, teenager, or single adult more room to turn without taking up as much space as a queen. If the room needs a study desk, wardrobe, or side table, a super single often makes more sense than trying to squeeze in a queen.
Choose a single mattress if the room is very tight or the bed is mainly for a young child. Choose a super single if the sleeper is older, taller, broader, or likely to use the mattress for many years.
Single vs Twin Mattress: Is There a Difference?
In Singapore, the usual term is single mattress. Twin is more common in US sizing. A US twin mattress is often listed as about 38 inches x 75 inches, while a Singapore single bed mattress size is 91 cm x 190 cm, which is close to 36 inches x 75 inches.
A super single is wider than both a Singapore single and a typical US twin. This is why the term can confuse shoppers comparing international guides. For local buying, use centimetres first. It is more accurate for Singapore bed frames, sheets, and room planning.
Which Room Fits a Super Single Mattress Best?
A super single mattress works best in rooms where one person needs comfort but the layout still has to work hard. It is common in children’s rooms, guest rooms, and common bedrooms in HDB flats or condos.
| Room or home type | Recommended mattress size | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| 3-room HDB or compact BTO bedroom | Single or Super Single | Use super single only if wardrobe doors and walking space still work. |
| 4-room HDB common bedroom | Super Single | Good balance for a teenager, helper’s room, or single adult. |
| 5-room HDB or resale common bedroom | Super Single or Queen | Choose queen only if the room still allows comfortable movement around the bed. |
| Condo common bedroom | Single or Super Single | Super single works best with a slim frame and fewer bulky side pieces. |
| Guest room | Super Single | More comfortable than a single for adult guests without taking over the room. |
Pair the mattress with correctly sized bed frames. A bed frame usually adds approximately 10 to 15 cm to the overall width and length, so do not plan based on mattress size alone.
How to Choose a Super Single Memory Foam Mattress
A super single memory foam mattress is a good choice if the sleeper likes a cushioned, body-hugging feel. It can help reduce pressure around the shoulders and hips, especially for side sleepers. In Singapore, comfort is only half the decision. Heat and humidity matter too.
Rooms without regular aircon are more humid, so look for breathable covers, anti-dust-mite fabrics, and materials that help manage moisture. Foam density also matters. As a useful guide, foam around 30 kg/m3 or higher tends to last longer.
Spring and hybrid mattresses can feel bouncier and more ventilated. Memory foam can feel calmer and more contouring. If the sleeper runs warm, compare ventilation and cover material before choosing. If the sleeper wants a softer hug, memory foam is still a strong option.
Before You Order a Super Single Mattress
Measure the room before buying the mattress, then measure the route into the room. This step sounds boring until the delivery team reaches a tight lift lobby or angled corridor.
- Measure the bedroom wall where the bed will sit.
- Allow around 60 cm of space on each side where possible.
- Check the total bed frame size, not just the mattress size.
- Measure the lift opening, corridor, and room doorway.
- Remember that many HDB lift openings and internal room doors are around 0.8 m wide.
- Check if wardrobe doors, drawers, and study chairs can still open properly.
If the room is short on storage, consider storage beds. The trade-off is simple: storage beds are heavier and need more setup care, but they can reduce the need for extra cabinets in smaller rooms.
Complimentary delivery and professional assembly come with qualifying orders, which matters when a bed frame arrives in several parts and still needs to align properly with the mattress. If something goes wrong, support is handled locally through +65 6950-2657 during service hours.
How to Choose Bedding for a Super Single Bed
Use bedding made for super single size bed dimensions. A single bedsheet will usually be too narrow, and a queen sheet will have too much loose fabric. Fitted sheets should match the mattress width, length, and height.
Check the mattress height before buying a protector or fitted sheet. Thicker mattresses need deeper pockets. This small detail prevents the sheet from slipping off at night, which is the fastest way to turn a new bed into a daily irritation.
Final Buying Advice
A super single mattress is best for one sleeper who wants more room than a single bed can give. It is not the right choice for two adults. Two people can technically fit, but comfort will be tight, and daily use will feel cramped.
For children who are growing fast, teenagers, adult guests, and single sleepers in HDB or condo bedrooms, super single is a practical middle size. It gives comfort without letting the bed take over the room.
A growing share of Megafurniture'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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a super single bed fit 2 people?
A super single bed can fit 2 people for a short rest, but it is not comfortable for regular sleep. It is designed mainly for one sleeper. Couples should usually choose a queen mattress if the room allows it.
What is the difference between a single and a super single mattress?
The difference between single and super single is width. A Singapore single mattress is 91 cm x 190 cm, while a super single is 107 cm x 190 cm. Both have the same length, but the super single gives more shoulder and turning space.
Is a twin bed bigger than a super single bed?
No. A typical US twin bed is narrower than a super single bed. Singapore shoppers should compare sizes in centimetres because local single mattress dimensions and super single dimensions are based on Singapore mattress standards.
Can I use a single bedsheet for a super single bed?
No. A single bedsheet is usually too narrow for a super single mattress. Use super single fitted sheets and check the mattress height so the corners stay secure.
What is the best super single mattress for a humid Singapore room?
Choose a mattress with breathable fabric, good ventilation, and anti-dust-mite features. For memory foam, check the cover and foam quality because rooms without regular aircon can trap more humidity.
