Single Bed Size Singapore: 91 x 190 cm Dimensions Guide

A standard single bed size in Singapore is 91 cm x 190 cm, or approximately 36 inches x 75 inches. This is the common local mattress size used for children, compact guest rooms, bunk beds and bedrooms where conserving floor space is the priority.

The measurement describes the mattress, not the complete bed frame. Always check the frame's external width and length before planning a small room.

What is the single bed size in Singapore?

The common Singapore single mattress measures:

• 91 cm x 190 cm
• 0.91 m x 1.90 m
• Approximately 36 inches x 75 inches

This is the mattress surface. The bed frame is larger because of its rails, headboard, upholstery or storage structure.

Single mattress vs single bed-frame size

A frame designed for a local single mattress should have an internal opening suitable for 91 cm x 190 cm. Its external dimensions vary by design.

Before ordering, ask for:

• External frame width and length.
• Headboard and footboard thickness.
• Storage-drawer clearance.
• Mattress recess depth.
• Delivery-package dimensions.

For compact bedrooms, mark the external footprint on the floor rather than marking only the mattress.

Single vs super single bed size

A common local super single measures 107 cm x 190 cm. It is 16 cm wider than single and the same common length.

Choose single when floor space is the main constraint. Choose super single when one adult will use the bed regularly and the room can spare another 16 cm before the frame is included.

For the larger solo size, read the dedicated super single bed size Singapore guide.

Is a single bed suitable for an adult?

A 91 cm-wide mattress can accommodate one adult, but comfort depends on body size, sleep movement and the 190 cm length. Adults who feel restricted at the shoulders or turn frequently may prefer a super single.

Single is most practical for:

• Children moving out of a cot or toddler bed.
• Compact HDB bedrooms that also need a desk and wardrobe.
• Guest rooms used occasionally.
• Bunk beds, trundle beds and day beds designed for local single dimensions.
• Rooms where preserving a walkway matters more than additional sleeping width.

Will a single bed fit in an HDB bedroom?

Single is the easiest common mattress size to fit into an HDB common room. The final layout still depends on the bed frame and furniture.

Check whether:

1. The wardrobe opens fully.
2. A desk chair can move comfortably.
3. The bedroom door clears the frame.
4. There is a practical route around or beside the bed.
5. The frame can pass through the delivery route.

Test the arrangement using the free bedroom layout planner, or compare room-level decisions in the HDB mattress size guide.

Singapore single vs IKEA single size

Common local single mattresses are about 91 cm x 190 cm. IKEA Singapore sells single mattresses in formats such as 90 cm x 200 cm, and some ranges also use other widths.

The extra 10 cm of length matters. A local mattress and IKEA frame may not fit correctly even when both products use the word “single.” Compare exact centimetres before buying the mattress, frame or sheets.

Single fitted-sheet size

Match the fitted sheet to the mattress's width, length and depth. For a common local single, start around 91 cm x 190 cm, then add enough pocket depth for the mattress, protector and any topper.

For imported and IKEA bedding differences, see the bed sheet sizes Singapore guide.

Choosing a single mattress

Once the dimensions are confirmed, compare:

• Support for the sleeper's position and body weight.
• Pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
• Mattress height and sheet compatibility.
• Breathability in the bedroom's normal conditions.
• Frame and base requirements.
• Trial, exchange, delivery and warranty terms.

Lullaflex is available in a common local single size, using a cool-touch quilted cover, micro-perforated seven-zone latex and a high-resilience support core.

Frequently asked questions

What is the standard single bed size in Singapore?

The common local single mattress measures 91 cm x 190 cm, or approximately 36 inches x 75 inches.

Is a single bed enough for an adult?

It can be, particularly for smaller adults or sleepers who do not move much. Adults wanting more width should compare a 107 cm x 190 cm super single.

How much smaller is single than super single?

A standard single is 16 cm narrower. Both common local sizes are 190 cm long.

Is an IKEA single the same as a Singapore single?

Not necessarily. A common local single is about 91 cm x 190 cm, while IKEA Singapore commonly sells 90 cm x 200 cm single products. Check the exact measurements.

Can a single bed fit in an HDB common room?

Single is normally the easiest standard mattress size to fit, but the complete frame, desk, wardrobe and walkway must still be measured.

What fitted sheet fits a Singapore single mattress?

Look for approximately 91 cm x 190 cm with enough pocket depth for the mattress. Imported and IKEA products may use different lengths.

Conclusion

The standard single bed size in Singapore is 91 cm x 190 cm. Use the full frame footprint—not only the mattress measurement—to decide whether the room remains practical.

If one adult needs more sleeping width and the room can spare 16 cm, compare the super single dimensions guide before ordering.
