MATTRESS SIZE SINGAPORE
Are you sleeping well? When it comes to mattresses, size does matter.
Many of our clients tell us their sleep was not ideal due to the lack of turning space. Also, many tall sleepers are making do with standard 190cm length mattresses when they are taller than 1.80cm.
Therefore, our mattress collections offer 200cm length mattress as a standard option. ( Latex Mattress )
1. THE WIDTH:
Single size
A Single size mattress is 91 cm wide. It fits a child and all the way to a mid-sized adult.
For an adult or a teenager, the single mattress does not provide much room for turning side to side during the night.
Super single size
A Super Single mattress size is about 20% wider than the single size mattress. This increases space for turning or to extend the elbows which translates to a better sense of comfort.
We recommend a Super Single mattress for an adult.
Small double size
The Small double mattress size is 30% wider than a single size mattress.
The small double is a great choice for a single sleeper. It provides room for much manoeuvring and the quality of sleep is significantly improved.
Are you waking up with back pains?
Consider the buffer space ( the extra space on the mattress that allows you to turn and change positions during the night ). For example, a 91 cm wide single size mattress can fit an adult, but it does not provide much room for turning. Therefore, a 107 cm wide Super Single Bed size is recommended as it offers that buffer space.
Queen size
Measuring 152 cm wide, the Queen size mattress is the most popular mattress in Singapore and probably across the globe.
King size
At 182 cm wide, a King size mattress is an ideal choice if space is not a constraint. It is also a better fit for larger individuals or if you have kids who like to share your bed.
What if standard size don't work for you?
Do take note that mattress sizes vary considerably around the world. For example, a Queen size mattress in Singapore may differ from one sold in Australia. Therefore, it is important to note that if you purchased your Queen size bed frame from Australia, chances are a Singapore Queen will not fit.
2. THE LENGTH:
The standard length of a mattress in Singapore is 190 cm. For a comfortable posture, there should be at least 10cm space from your head to the headboard and another 10cm space from your legs to the edge of the bed.
Therefore, if you are taller than 180 cm, then chances are you will compromise on your sleeping posture. So an extended length will be a better option.

What to consider when choosing a mattress
-
Are you happy with your current mattress size?
-
Are you getting enough comfort and freedom for good sleep every night? If not, you may find it more pleasant to go one size up.
-
-
Are you taller and heavier than average?
-
If you are tall or heavier, you may require a bigger mattress to be truly comfortable. For optimal comfort, consider buying a mattress that is at least 15-20cm longer than your height.
-
-
Do you Toss and Turn a lot?
-
Are you a disciplined sleeper, or do you change positions frequently?
-
When either one of you tosses or turns, getting a bigger mattress can give you a better night’s sleep and fewer disturbances for the other one.
-
-
Extra guests on your bed?
-
While the mattress you choose may be large enough for you and your partner, do consider that you may have to share your with your little ones or even your pets from time to time. You don’t want to be pushed into a corner for lack of space.
-
-
How big is your room size?
-
Most importantly, remember to measure your room as well to make sure that the bed you are thinking of purchasing fits well in your room. In fact, for any piece of furniture you choose, measure your space, doorways, hallways and stairs to see if you can get the piece into your room.
