A standard super single bed size in Singapore is 107 cm x 190 cm, or approximately 42 inches x 75 inches. It is 16 cm wider than a standard single mattress while keeping the same common local length.
This is the common Singapore size used by established mattress retailers. IKEA Singapore uses a different super-single format of 120 cm x 200 cm, so always compare exact measurements before buying a mattress, frame or fitted sheet.

What is super single bed size?
In Singapore, the standard super single mattress measures 107 cm wide by 190 cm long. The mattress dimensions describe the sleeping surface, not the complete bed-frame footprint.
A super single is designed mainly for one person. It gives a solo sleeper more turning room than a standard single without requiring the floor space of a queen.
The common local dimensions are:
- 107 cm x 190 cm
- 1.07 m x 1.90 m
- Approximately 42 inches x 75 inches
Some manufacturers allow small production tolerances, so confirm the exact specification of the mattress you are ordering.
Super single vs single bed size
The main difference is width. Both common Singapore sizes are 190 cm long.
| Size | Width | Length | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 91 cm | 190 cm | Children, compact guest rooms and bedrooms where floor space is critical |
| Super single | 107 cm | 190 cm | Teenagers, solo adults and frequently used guest rooms |
The additional 16 cm can make a noticeable difference around the shoulders and elbows. It also requires 16 cm more mattress width before the bed frame is included.
Choose a standard single when the room must also fit a desk, wardrobe or generous walkway. Choose super single when one adult will use the bed regularly and the room can accommodate the extra width.
For the narrower option, read the single bed size Singapore guide.
Super single vs queen size
A common Singapore queen mattress measures 152 cm x 190 cm. It is 45 cm wider than a super single while sharing the same common local length.
| Question | Super single | Queen |
|---|---|---|
| Regular sleeper count | One | Usually two |
| Common width | 107 cm | 152 cm |
| Common length | 190 cm | 190 cm |
| HDB common-room fit | Often practical | Frequently restrictive once the frame and furniture are included |
| Bedding and frame cost | Lower | Usually higher |
A super single is not a substitute for a queen when two adults share the bed nightly. It is a spacious one-person size.
Will a super single fit in an HDB bedroom?
A super single often works in an HDB common room, but the answer depends on the complete frame rather than the mattress alone.
Before buying, check:
- The external width and length of the bed frame.
- Whether the wardrobe doors and drawers open fully.
- Whether the bedroom door clears the frame.
- Whether a desk and chair remain usable.
- Whether there is a practical route from the door to the window and wardrobe.
- Whether the frame and mattress can pass through the delivery route.
Use the free bedroom layout planner to test a super-single footprint alongside wardrobes, desks and door swings.
Super single mattress vs bed-frame dimensions
The standard 107 cm x 190 cm measurement applies to the mattress. The external bed frame will be larger.
A simple divan may add only a small amount around the mattress. An upholstered frame, storage bed, headboard or footboard can add considerably more width or length. Product listings sometimes show mattress size prominently while placing the external frame dimensions lower on the page.
Ask the retailer for:
- Internal mattress opening.
- External frame width.
- External frame length.
- Headboard thickness.
- Drawer or hydraulic-lift clearance.
- Recommended mattress height.
Mark the full external footprint on the floor with painter's tape before ordering.
What is the IKEA super single bed size?
IKEA Singapore commonly uses 120 cm x 200 cm for its super-single mattresses and frames. That is 13 cm wider and 10 cm longer than the common local 107 cm x 190 cm size.
The two formats are not interchangeable:
- A 107 cm x 190 cm local mattress will leave gaps in a 120 cm x 200 cm IKEA frame.
- A 120 cm x 200 cm IKEA mattress will not fit a local 107 cm x 190 cm frame.
- Fitted sheets designed tightly for one format may not fit the other correctly.
Buy by centimetres rather than relying only on the words “super single.”
Is a super single bed suitable for an adult?
Yes. A super single is a practical one-person mattress for many adults. It provides more width than a standard single while remaining easier to fit into a compact bedroom than a queen.
It is especially useful for:
- Solo adults in HDB common rooms.
- Teenagers who have outgrown a narrow single.
- Adults who move frequently during sleep.
- Guest rooms used regularly by adult visitors.
- Rental rooms where a queen would restrict furniture and circulation.
Very tall sleepers should consider the 190 cm length carefully. A person close to 190 cm tall may prefer a 200 cm mattress format or a custom length.
Super single fitted-sheet size
For a common local super single mattress, start with a fitted sheet labelled around 107 cm x 190 cm. Then check the pocket depth against the actual mattress height, including any protector or topper.
Do not buy from the label alone. IKEA super-single sheets are commonly designed around 120 cm x 200 cm products and may not fit a local mattress neatly.
For full sheet and duvet measurements, use the bed sheet sizes Singapore guide.
Choosing a super single mattress
After confirming the size, compare the mattress itself:
- Support for your normal sleeping position.
- Pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
- Edge stability and usable sleeping width.
- Heat retention in your bedroom conditions.
- Mattress height and fitted-sheet compatibility.
- Trial, exchange, delivery and warranty terms.
- Compatibility with the selected bed frame.
Lullaflex is available in a local super-single size. Its construction uses a cool-touch quilted cover, a micro-perforated seven-zone latex comfort layer and a high-resilience support core.
