Long Single Size Mattress

Australia: 92 cm x 203 cm
UK/Europe: 90 cm x 200 cm
USA (Twin XL): 38'' x 80'' (approx. 97 cm x 203 cm)

The Pros
Extra Length for Tall Sleepers: At 203 cm, it is the same length as a Queen or King bed. This prevents feet from hanging off the edge, making it the ideal choice for tall teenagers and adults.

Space Efficiency: It maintains a slim width (92 cm), making it perfect for narrow bedrooms, studio apartments, or home offices where a wider bed would block the doorway or walkway.

Versatile Combinations: Two long singles are exactly the same size as one King size mattress. This allows for flexible pairings of different mattress models on a single King frame to suit individual comfort preferences.

Long-Term Investment: Because it accommodates growth spurts and adult dimensions, a child is unlikely to outgrow it until they move out, providing better value over 10+ years.

Great for Guest Rooms: It is a sophisticated compromise for guest spaces, offering hotel-standard length and comfort without the floor-space dominance of a Double bed.

The Cons
Specific Bedding Required: Standard Single fitted sheets and mattress protectors will be 15 cm too short. You must purchase specific "Long Single" or "Twin XL" linen to ensure a proper fit.

Narrow Sleeping Surface: While it is long, it is still narrow. For sleepers who like to "starfish" or move a lot, the 92 cm width can feel restrictive compared to a King Single or Double bed.

Single Sleeper Only: This size is strictly for one person. It cannot comfortably accommodate two adults, even for short-term guest use, and offers less room for co-sleeping with a child.

Limited Design Options: While becoming more common, you won't find as many "off-the-shelf" patterns or colors for Long Single sheets in major retailers compared to standard Single or Queen sizes.

Taller Individuals: Adults or teens who find their feet hanging off a standard single.
Narrow Bedrooms: Perfect for studio apartments or guest rooms where a wider bed would block walking paths.
Split King Setups: For couples using adjustable bed bases that require each side to move independently.

It is becoming increasingly common. Most major retailers sell Long Single (or Twin XL) sheet sets. If you are using two Long Singles as a King, you can use two Long Single fitted sheets and one standard King-sized flat sheet and quilt on top.

Choose a Long Single if...
You have a very narrow room: It has a slim profile that leaves more floor space for a desk, wardrobe, or walking path.

You are creating a "Split King": Two Long Singles placed side-by-side perfectly fit a standard King-size bed frame (183 cm total width). This is popular for couples with different firmness preferences.

It’s for a guest room: It provides enough length for any adult guest without dominating the room.

Choose a King Single if...
You want more "tossing and turning" room: The extra 15 cm of width makes a huge difference if you (or your teenager) tend to sprawl out or move a lot during the night.

It’s for a growing child: A King Single is often considered "future-proof" for kids, as it provides enough shoulder room to last them well into adulthood.

Comfort is the priority over floor space: If the room is large enough, the extra width of a King Single feels significantly more luxurious than a standard single.

A Note on Bedding
King Single: Bedding (sheets, protectors) is very easy to find at almost all major retailers.

Long Single: While becoming more common, you may have a slightly smaller selection of "ready-made" sheet sets compared to the King Single.

To create a room that feels spacious and functional, you need to consider more than just the mattress size—you need to consider your lifestyle. Here is a refined, step-by-step process to ensure your new bed fits perfectly into your daily routine:

1. Capture the Total Footprint Start by measuring the full length and width of the room. Knowing your total floor space provides a clear "boundary" for your layout and prevents you from overcrowding the area.

2. Account for Furniture "Clearance" Map out existing pieces like desks, wardrobes, or bookshelves. Crucially, measure the swing of all doors—including the bedroom entrance and closet doors. You need to ensure they can swing fully open without colliding with the bed frame.

3. Prioritize "The 60cm Rule" A common mistake is forgetting the space needed to move. To keep the room from feeling cramped, leave at least 60–70 cm of open pathway around the sides and foot of the bed. This creates a comfortable flow and makes it easier to change the sheets.

4. Verify Your Bed Frame Dimensions If you aren't buying a new set, measure the internal dimensions of your current bed frame (where the mattress actually sits). This ensures a snug fit for your new mattress and eliminates awkward gaps or overhangs.

Newentor mattresses(in a box) are designed for easy handling. Key model weights are: Hybrid Long Single Size (24.22 kg), Hesperis Memory Foam Mattress Long Single Size (16.11 kg), and Hybrid Pro Long Single Size (29 kg).

Yes. This is one of the most common uses for this size.

The Math: Two Long Singles (92 cm wide each) placed side-by-side equal 184 cm, which matches a standard King-size frame (183 cm wide).

The Benefit: This "Split King" setup allows couples to choose different mattress models (firm vs. soft) while sharing the same bed frame.
