Single vs Super Single Bed: The Complete Singapore Buyer’s Guide (2025 Edition)

👶 For Kids’ Rooms (Under 12)

Single beds are ideal for younger children. Their smaller footprint allows for additional furniture like bookshelves, toy storage, or a study table in a standard 3x3m room.

Expert Tip from Sleep Space: If your child is especially tall or active during sleep, consider a super single early — it provides more room to grow.

🧑 For Teens & Young Adults

As your child grows, so do their sleep needs. Super single beds offer more shoulder and hip room, improving sleep posture and reducing disturbance from shifting positions.

Space-saving solution: Consider pairing with a storage bed from Sleep Space for a clutter-free setup

🛌 For Guest Rooms or HDB Helper Rooms

If you're furnishing a guest room or helper's quarters, a single bed works well for compact layouts. However, if your room exceeds 3.5m in length and has less furniture, a super single can provide extra comfort for longer stays.

🏡 Singapore Space Planning Tips

In a 3m x 3m room layout:

• Single bed: Leaves approx. 109cm of walking space

• Super single bed: Leaves approx. 93cm — still comfortable but tighter

🚪 Important: Always measure doorways and elevator dimensions before purchase. Some super singles may require disassembly for delivery in certain HDB units.

🌡️ Mattress Matching Advice (Singapore Climate-Specific)

• Hot sleepers? Opt for breathable pocket spring mattresses or latex hybrids from Sleep Space.

• Concerned about allergies? Go with natural latex or antimicrobial covers — ideal for Singapore’s humidity.

• Space-savers? Pair your bed with underbed drawers or a lift-up storage base for added utility.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can two children share a super single bed?

It’s doable for occasional sleepovers, but too tight for daily use.

2. Are special sheets required for super single beds?

Yes. Be sure to look for sheet sizes labeled “Super Single (107cm)” to ensure proper fit.

3. Which size is easier to resell?

Single beds tend to have higher resale demand due to their widespread use.

4. Can I use a super single mattress on a single frame?

No. The mattress will overhang by 16cm — always match your mattress and bedframe.

✅ Final Verdict: Which One Is Right for You?

Choose a Single Bed if:

• Your room is under 3m x 3m

• Buying for a young child

• Budget is below $600

Choose a Super Single Bed if:

• For a teen, young adult, or light-sleeping adult

• Room size exceeds 3.5m in length

• You want more sleeping space without upgrading to a full double bed

🛠️ Pro Tip: Use masking tape or newspaper to mark both sizes on your bedroom floor. It’s a great way to visualize the fit before buying!
