Mattress Sizes in Singapore: Super Single, Queen & King (in cm)
Published 8 July 2026 · Updated 16 July 2026
Mattress shopping in Singapore starts with a trap: “queen” and “king” don’t mean the same thing here as they do in the US, the UK, or an IKEA showroom. Buy sheets from an American brand or a bed frame from the wrong catalogue and you’ll find out the hard way — usually 13 centimetres of dangling fabric at a time. Here is every Singapore standard size in one table, the international differences that actually bite, and which size fits which room.
Singapore standard mattress sizes
Singapore (and Malaysia) use a 190cm standard length across every size. Only the width changes:
| Size | cm | Inches | Feet (nominal) | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 91 × 190 | 36 × 75 | 3 ft | One adult or child |
| Super Single | 107 × 190 | 42 × 75 | 3.5 ft | One adult, comfortably |
| Queen | 152 × 190 | 60 × 75 | 5 ft | Two adults |
| King | 182 × 190 | 72 × 75 | 6 ft | Two adults + space |
If you remember one number, make it 190 — that’s the length of every standard mattress, bed frame and fitted sheet sold for the local market.
Super single mattress size: 107 × 190cm
The super single mattress size in Singapore is 107 × 190cm — 42 × 75 inches, or “3.5 feet” on a showroom tag. It barely exists in Western size charts, but it’s arguably the default single-sleeper size here — wide enough for an adult to turn over, narrow enough for an HDB bedroom to keep a wardrobe and a walking path. Kids’ rooms, single adults, and rental rooms all gravitate to it, and every local brand and sheet maker stocks it.
If you’re moving from a single, the extra 16cm of width is the cheapest comfort upgrade in the market. If you’re considering a queen for one person in a small room, try a super single first — the room will thank you.
Queen size in Singapore (and how it differs from a US queen)
A Singapore queen is 152 × 190cm (60 × 75 inches). A US queen is 152 × 203cm — same width, 13cm longer. This is the single most common sizing accident: US-sized sheets and mattress protectors bought online will sag on a local queen, and a US-sized mattress won’t sit right on a local frame.
Rule of thumb: if the product page says 60 × 80 inches, it’s US-sized. 60 × 75 inches is the local queen.
King size in Singapore
A Singapore king is 182 × 190cm (72 × 75 inches) — wider than a UK king (150 × 200cm) and both narrower and shorter than a US king (193 × 203cm). Two local singles pushed together are 182cm wide, which is exactly a Singapore king — the trick hotels use, and a legitimate option if you want a split mattress with no compromise on frame size.
The IKEA trap
IKEA sells European lengths — 200cm — in Singapore. An IKEA “queen” (150 × 200cm) is 2cm narrower and 10cm longer than a local queen. That’s fine if your frame, mattress and sheets are all from IKEA; it’s a headache the moment you mix ecosystems. IKEA sheets won’t sit tight on a 190cm local mattress, and a local fitted sheet won’t stretch over an IKEA one.
Decide once, at the start: local sizing or IKEA sizing, and buy everything inside that system.
International size comparison
| Size name | Singapore | US | UK | Europe/IKEA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single / Twin | 91 × 190 | 97 × 191 | 90 × 190 | 90 × 200 |
| Super Single | 107 × 190 | — | — | — |
| Double / Full | — | 137 × 191 | 135 × 190 | 140 × 200 |
| Queen | 152 × 190 | 152 × 203 | 150 × 200 (“king”) | 160 × 200 |
| King | 182 × 190 | 193 × 203 | 180 × 200 (“super king”) | 180 × 200 |
All measurements in cm. Note the UK calls a 150cm-wide mattress a “king” — another reason to trust centimetres, never size names, when buying anything imported.
Which size fits which room
Common sense in numbers, for typical local bedroom layouts:
- HDB common bedroom (roughly 3 × 3m): a super single leaves room to live; a queen fits but dominates the room.
- HDB master bedroom (roughly 3 × 4m): a queen is the comfortable default; a king fits, but check you still have 60cm of walking clearance on each open side and space for the wardrobe doors to swing.
- Condo bedrooms vary too much to generalise — measure, then subtract wardrobe swing and walking space before falling in love with a king.
Measure the room, not the showroom. Every mattress looks reasonably sized in a warehouse.
How to measure what you already have
Old mattress with no label? Measure width and length across the top seam, not the sides — mattresses bulge. Match to the nearest size in the first table; anything within 2cm is that size. If it measures 200cm long, you own an IKEA/European size (see the trap above).
Size settled? The harder question is which mattress to put in it — our 10 best mattresses in Singapore covers the market with verified prices and the warranty fine print nobody reads. And if you’re keeping the one you have, mattress cleaning is priced by size too — knowing yours saves a surprise on the quote.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a super single mattress in Singapore?
107 × 190cm, or 42 × 75 inches — sometimes called 3.5 feet. It is the most popular single-sleeper size in Singapore, sized between a single (91cm wide) and a queen (152cm wide).
What are queen size mattress dimensions in Singapore?
152 × 190cm (60 × 75 inches). Note that a US queen is 152 × 203cm — 13cm longer — so US-sized sheets and protectors will not fit a Singapore queen properly.
What are king size mattress dimensions in Singapore?
182 × 190cm (72 × 75 inches). A US king is larger at 193 × 203cm, and a UK "king" is actually smaller at 150 × 200cm — always compare in centimetres.
Can two single mattresses make a king?
Almost exactly: two Singapore singles side by side measure 182cm wide — the same width as a Singapore king, at the same 190cm length. Hotels do this routinely; you will feel the join unless you add a topper.
Do IKEA mattresses fit normal Singapore bed frames?
Not cleanly. IKEA uses European lengths (200cm) versus the local standard 190cm, so an IKEA mattress overhangs a local frame and local fitted sheets will not fit it. Keep frame, mattress and sheets within one sizing system.
