Super Single Bed Size Singapore: Dimensions, Mattress Guide & Best Frames
If you're trying to figure out what a super single bed size is in Singapore and whether it makes sense for your room and lifestyle, this guide gives you the complete picture — exact dimensions, mattress compatibility, room fit, and which bed frames work best. The super single is uniquely popular in Singapore, and for good reason. Radical Homes stocks a range of super single bed frames designed specifically for Singapore's compact living spaces.
Quick Answer: Super Single Bed Size Singapore
- Super single dimensions: 107cm wide × 190cm long (also written as 3'6" × 6'3")
- 16cm wider than a standard single (91cm) — a meaningful difference for adult sleepers
- Ideal for: HDB common bedrooms, teenagers, solo adults who want more width without a full queen
- Standard super single mattress dimensions match the frame: 107×190cm
- Leaves adequate clearance in most HDB common bedrooms for wardrobe and desk
📊 The super single is a size unique to Singapore and a handful of Southeast Asian markets — it doesn't exist as a standard size in the US, UK, or Europe, which is why imported frames often don't offer this dimension.
Understanding super single dimensions properly can save you from an expensive mistake — either buying a frame that's too small for comfortable adult sleeping, or choosing a size that overwhelms your room. Let's go deeper on the details that matter.
Super Single Bed Dimensions: The Exact Numbers
The super single bed measures 107 centimetres wide by 190 centimetres long — approximately 3 feet 6 inches by 6 feet 3 inches. This places it squarely between the standard single (91×190cm) and the queen (152×190cm), wider than a single, narrower than a queen, and sharing the same 190cm length as every other standard Singapore bed size.
The extra 16cm of width compared to a standard single translates to noticeably more comfortable sleep for adult users. A standard single is designed primarily for children; a super single offers the shoulder and hip clearance that adults need for proper sleep posture. For solo adults in HDB common bedrooms or studio apartments, the super single is often the most sensible choice.
How does the super single compare to a single and a queen bed in Singapore?
| Size | Width | Length | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 91cm | 190cm | Children, very tight rooms |
| Super Single | 107cm | 190cm | Teens, solo adults, HDB common rooms |
| Queen | 152cm | 190cm | Couples, master bedrooms |
| King | 183cm | 190cm | Couples in larger rooms |
Room Planning: Will a Super Single Fit Your HDB Bedroom?
The typical HDB common bedroom measures approximately 2.8m × 3.0m to 3.2m × 3.2m, depending on the flat type and year of construction. A super single frame (including the frame surround, which adds approximately 5–8cm on each side) occupies about 120cm × 205cm of floor space. This leaves comfortable clearance for a single wardrobe, a study table, and adequate walkway space.
Maintain at least 60cm of clearance on the side of the bed closest to the wall for comfortable movement, and at least 80cm at the foot of the bed. In a standard HDB common bedroom, a super single achieves this without difficulty. A queen frame in the same room would feel considerably more constrained.
Is a super single bed big enough for an adult to sleep comfortably every night?
For a solo adult sleeper, yes — a super single provides sufficient width for comfortable sleep. At 107cm, you have enough space to shift positions through the night without feeling confined. The mattress depth matters more than many buyers realise: a 25–30cm thick mattress on a properly slatted super single frame will deliver the sleep quality most adults need.
Where the super single is less suitable is for couples who want to share a bed. The width simply isn't adequate for two adults sleeping through the night — a queen (152cm) is the minimum recommended for couples.
Super Single Mattress Guide
Super single mattresses in Singapore are widely available at 107×190cm. When pairing a mattress with a super single frame from Radical Homes, ensure the mattress matches the 107×190cm dimension precisely — a mattress that's even 2–3cm narrower will create an unsupported gap at the edge that can cause premature sagging.
For Singapore's climate: memory foam with gel-infused layers or open-cell construction handles humidity better than standard memory foam. Pocket spring mattresses with a comfort layer provide good airflow and remain one of the most popular choices in Singapore. Latex mattresses are naturally breathable and mould-resistant — a significant advantage in our humidity.
Best Bed Frames for a Super Single: What to Look For
Because the super single is a Singapore-specific size, not all international brands stock it, and some local retailers offer limited style options in this size. Radical Homes offers its full range of bed frame styles in super single, including upholstered platform frames, solid wood frames, and hydraulic storage options.
For HDB common bedrooms where storage is at a premium, a hydraulic lift storage super single frame is an excellent investment. Other Singapore retailers also serve this market: IKEA's range includes several frame styles in super single at accessible price points. Castlery offers curated contemporary designs. Courts provides a wide selection. Urban Mood offers locally-designed options.

For solo adults furnishing HDB common bedrooms, teenage rooms, or compact studio apartments, the super single hits a practical sweet spot.
