Frequently Asked Questions

The measurements of a single bed are 92cm(W) x 188cm(L).
A single bed is big enough for some adults. However, it may not be long enough for taller solo sleepers, larger individuals, or those who like a lot of room to stretch out or move during the night. Those with longer legs may need the extra 15cm length afforded by a long single, king single or queen.
While it’s often recommended you upsize when buying a quilt for a double (or larger) bed, a single quilt (140cm x 210cm) is the best fit for a single bed.

Benefits of Having a Single Bed

The main benefit of a single bed is its neat and compact size – making it an ideal fit for smaller rooms and children’s bedrooms. With a lower height and cosy proportions, it's the perfect bed for your child to transition to when they’ve outgrown their cot.

If you have limited floor space, a single bed frame is a good option for a guest bedroom. Single beds are also light and easy to manoeuvre, making bed change day a breeze.

As the smallest bed, a single bed is the most affordable. And as an added bonus you’ll also save money on quilts and bedding.

How To Choose The Best Single Bed

When choosing a single bed, keep in mind your budget, the intended sleeper, and how the bed fits with your current bedroom furniture and decorating style.

Without a bedhead, a single bed base is often more affordable than a full bed frame. However, make sure you don’t skimp on quality. Choose a well-constructed bed for lasting support and top it with a top-notch mattress for ergonomic comfort.

Shopping for a child? A timber bed base or frame is naturally stylish, ultra-durable, and the easiest to keep clean from grubby fingers.

For elevated style in a guest bedroom or bedroom with limited space, consider a chic fabric bed frame that complements your colour scheme.

How To Style a Single Bed

If placing a single bed, or beds, in a guest room, using white or pale bedding will make your bed(s) appear roomier. Darker colours will have the opposite impact – and so too will overloading your bed with pillows, cushions and blankets.

You still want to add dimension and inviting texture, though, so layer a mix of euro, standard and accent pillows and add a throw at the foot of the bed. Accessorise your single bed with a matching or complementary bedside table and a lamp for cosy ambience – and reading.

Mixing and matching bedding colours and prints creates a cheerful mood in kids’ bedrooms. Add cute accent pillows like animals, flowers or rocket ships – and don't forget their favourite stuffed toy. You can also use the bedhead to drape pompoms, flags or other decorative items – have a little fun!
