Choosing the Right Mattress
There are many reasons you might need to buy a new bed. Perhaps you and your partner are moving into your new BTO, or you’re a parent who has noticed your child’s feet hanging off the edge of their single bed. These scenarios, among many others, can prompt the search for a new bed.
When that time comes, you wonder, “What size bed should I get?”
Understanding how many people will be using the mattress and who it’s intended for is essential to choosing the right mattress for both the individual and the room size. Generally, all mattress sizes from Single to King are 190cm (75in) in length in Singapore. The main difference comes from the width of the mattress. Our goal is to walk you through key factors you need to consider prior before making that decision.
Comparing common mattress sizes
Single bed VS Super Single bed
Single and Super Single beds are both ideal for one person. Single beds, the smallest option available in Singapore, are 91 cm (36 inches) wide and work well in compact spaces, providing a comfortable fit for children as they grow. Super Single beds, slightly wider at 107 cm (42 inches), offer extra room, making them a more comfortable choice for teenagers and single adults.
Queen beds vs King beds
A Queen mattress, with a width of 152 cm (60 inches), is popular among couples and is a great choice for taller individuals or single sleepers who enjoy extra space for a comfortable night’s sleep. A King mattress, with a width of 183 cm (72 inches), provides an even more luxurious feel , especially if little ones occasionally join their parents in bed.

What is your budget?
Like any major purchase, you need to set a budget. Beds can range widely in price depending on a few factors. As can be expected, the larger the bed, the more it will cost. However, you will run into other variables including the craftsmanship of the bed and the quality of the mattress. To ensure you find the right fit, run the numbers and identify your spending allowance up front. Additionally, you can also check our mattress sales page to make the most out of any current promotional offers.
What are your current and future needs?
Lastly, mattresses are a long term investment. At Sealy, we assure you that with the proper care your mattresses can last over 10 years. So, be sure to consider your current needs as well as your potential needs for the years to come. For example, you may be thinking of purchasing a singe bed for your child. However, a few years down the road, they are likely going to outgrow it and need more room. With that in mind, you may want to consider a super-single.
