You have got the BTO keys, and the bedroom looks workable until the wardrobe, study table, and bed all start asking for the same floor space. Quick answer: a super single mattress in Singapore measures 107 x 190 cm, making it wider than a Single but much easier to fit than a Queen. It is a strong choice for teenagers, solo adults, guest rooms, and compact bedrooms where comfort matters but every centimetre still has a job.
A super single bed sits in the useful middle ground. It gives one sleeper more shoulder room than a standard Single without taking over the room the way a Queen can. For most Singapore bedrooms, a super single is the practical upgrade before Queen starts stealing wardrobe and study-table space.
What is a super single bed?
A super single bed is a larger single-person bed size. In Singapore, the standard super single mattress size is 107 x 190 cm. A standard Single mattress is 91 x 190 cm, so the super single gives extra width while keeping the same length.
That extra width matters if the sleeper turns often, likes more blanket space, or has outgrown a child-sized setup. It is especially useful for teenagers, young adults, rental rooms, and guest rooms where a Queen may feel too large.
| Mattress size | Singapore standard size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 91 x 190 cm | Children, very small rooms, compact guest spaces |
| Super Single | 107 x 190 cm | Teenagers, solo adults, guest rooms, compact HDB bedrooms |
| Queen | 152 x 190 cm | Couples, larger master bedrooms, sleepers who want more space |
| King | 182 x 190 cm | Larger bedrooms where walkway and wardrobe clearance remain comfortable |
If you already know this is the right size, browse super single bed frames and match the frame to your room before choosing the final style.
Is a super single bed bigger than a single?
Yes. A super single is wider than a Single, but it is not longer under the Singapore standard size. The extra 16 cm of width can make a real difference for one sleeper, especially in a room where a Queen would leave the walkway too tight.
Do not plan only around the mattress. A bed frame usually adds approximately 10-15 cm to each dimension, depending on the design. That means a super single frame may need more floor space than the mattress size suggests.
For bedrooms, try to keep around 60 cm of space on each side of the bed where the room allows. In a small BTO bedroom, you may not get that on both sides. If so, prioritise the side used most often, wardrobe access, and a clear path to the door.
Who should buy a super single bed?
Teenagers who have outgrown a Single
A super single is a sensible upgrade for a teenager. It gives more sleeping width without forcing the room to give up a study desk, wardrobe, or bookshelf. This matters in bedrooms that also need to support homework, gaming, hobbies, and storage.
Solo adults in compact bedrooms
For a single adult, a super single often feels more comfortable than a Single but less demanding than a Queen. It is a good fit for rented rooms, smaller condos, and common bedrooms in HDB flats.
Guest rooms that need flexibility
A super single can make a guest room feel more generous without turning it into a dedicated master bedroom. It works well when the room also needs to hold a desk, storage cabinet, or occasional laundry rack.
Homes that furnish in phases
Many Singapore homeowners furnish bedroom first, then living room, then dining. A super single can help keep the first phase manageable because it balances sleeping comfort with space for the rest of the room.
Is a cheap super single bed worth it?
A cheap super single bed can be worth it if the frame is stable, the mattress fits properly, and the materials suit the room. It is not worth it if the frame wobbles, the slats feel weak, or the mattress does not sit securely.
The honest trade-off is simple: cheaper beds save money upfront, but they should not make the bedroom harder to live with. If the room is humid, used daily, or meant for a growing teenager, check the frame construction, support base, and mattress quality before choosing only by price.
For better value, compare bed frame and mattress together. A low-cost frame with the wrong mattress can feel worse than a slightly better-matched set. If you want a simpler route, consider bed and mattress sets so the size pairing is easier to manage.
What type of super single bed should you choose?
Standard super single bed frame
A standard bed frame is the simplest choice. It works well if you already have storage elsewhere and want the bedroom to feel open. Choose this if the room is small but not short on wardrobe or drawer space.
Storage super single bed
A storage bed is useful when the bedroom has limited cabinet space. A gas-lift storage bed can hold spare sheets, quilts, pillows, or seasonal bedding. For many 3-room and 4-room HDB homes, storage under the bed does more daily work than another small cabinet squeezed into the corner.
If storage is the main problem, browse storage beds for compact bedrooms and check whether the mechanism opens comfortably in your room layout.
Platform super single bed
A platform bed gives the bedroom a low, clean look. It suits minimalist, Japandi, Scandinavian, and modern contemporary rooms. The trade-off is height. If the sleeper prefers getting in and out easily, check the frame height before ordering.
Bunk or pull-out super single bed
Bunk beds and pull-out beds can work for siblings, children, or guest use. They save floor space, but they need careful planning. Check ceiling height, ladder access, and whether drawers or pull-out sections have enough room to open.
Choosing a super single mattress
The mattress should match the frame size exactly. For a super single bed, choose a super single mattress, not a standard Single. A mismatched mattress can shift, leave gaps, or make bedding harder to fit.
Singapore humidity also matters. Rooms without regular aircon can feel warmer and more humid, so mattress breathability, anti-dust-mite fabrics, and mould-resistant materials are practical concerns. If the bed is for a teenager or guest room that is not aired daily, do not treat the mattress as an afterthought.
You can compare super single mattresses by firmness, material, and support needs before deciding on the final bed setup.
Before you order a super single bed
Measure the bedroom, then measure the route into it. Many HDB lift openings are approximately 0.8 m wide. HDB main doors are around 0.9 m wide, while internal room doors are around 0.8 m. These are useful planning figures, but your actual lift, corridor turn, and doorway matter most.
- Measure the mattress area and the full bed frame footprint.
- Allow approximately 10-15 cm extra around the mattress for the frame.
- Check wardrobe doors, drawers, and bedside tables.
- Leave around 60 cm beside the bed where space allows.
- Measure the lift opening, corridor, main door, and bedroom doorway.
- Check if a storage bed has enough clearance to open properly.
Complimentary delivery and professional assembly come with qualifying orders, which matters when a bed frame arrives in several flat-pack boxes and the instructions assume you have three hands. If something arrives damaged, the team at +65 6950-2657 sorts it locally, not through a returns form sent far away.
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.
FAQs about super single beds
What is the size of a super single bed in Singapore?
A super single mattress in Singapore measures 107 x 190 cm. The bed frame is usually larger than the mattress, so allow approximately 10-15 cm extra on each dimension when planning the floor space.
Is a super single bed good for adults?
Yes, a super single bed works well for one adult who wants more room than a standard Single but does not have enough space for a Queen. It is especially useful in compact HDB rooms, rental rooms, and guest bedrooms.
Can two people sleep on a super single bed?
A super single bed is designed mainly for one sleeper. Two people may fit for a short rest, but it is not a comfortable long-term choice for couples. Choose a Queen or King if two people will sleep there regularly.
Is a cheap super single bed a good buy?
It can be a good buy if the frame is stable, the mattress fits correctly, and the materials suit daily use. Avoid choosing by price alone if the bed is for a teenager, a humid room, or someone who will use it every night.
Can I use Single bedsheets on a super single bed?
No, standard Single bedsheets will usually be too narrow for a super single mattress. Use super single-sized sheets and mattress protectors for a better fit.
