Single Size Mattress

In Australia, the exact dimensions of a standard Single mattress are:
Width: 92 cm
Length: 188 cm

The Pros:
Maximum Space Efficiency - Occupying just 1.73 m², it is the ultimate space-saver. It allows small bedrooms to remain functional by leaving space for other furniture, such as wardrobes, desks, or play areas.

Most Budget-Friendly: Single mattresses are consistently the most affordable option. You’ll save not only on the mattress itself but also on bed frames and bedding sets.

Versatile for Kids' Rooms: It is the industry standard for bunk beds and trundle beds, making it the perfect choice for siblings sharing a room or for hosting sleepovers.

Easy to Move: Due to its light weight and compact size, it is incredibly easy to rotate, flip, and transport—ideal for renters or frequent movers.

The Cons：
Limited Sleeping Surface: At only 92cm wide, there isn't much room to "spread out." For active sleepers who toss and turn, the narrow width can feel restrictive.

Too Short for Taller Adults: The 188cm length may be too short for tall teenagers or adults. If the sleeper is approaching 180cm (approx. 5'11") in height, their feet may feel cramped or hang off the edge.

Not "Future-Proof": While perfect for a 7-year-old, a child may outgrow the width or length of a Single bed by their late teens, potentially requiring another upgrade sooner than a King Single would.

Yes. Almost all standard bunk beds and trundle beds in Australia are designed specifically to fit a standard Single mattress. However, always check the height/thickness of the mattress for the top bunk to ensure it doesn't exceed the safety rail.

The Single size is ideal for:

Toddlers and Children: It is the natural next step after a cot.

Teens: It provides sufficient room for most adolescents.

Guest Rooms: Perfect for maximizing space in multi-functional rooms.

Studio Apartments: A great way to save floor space in compact living areas.

If you have a teenager or a child who is tracking to be tall, their feet will likely hang off the edge by their mid-teens. A King Single adds 15cm of extra length (totalling 203cm), providing the same length as a Queen or King mattress—perfect for taller sleepers.

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.
