Buying Guide
Choosing the Right Bed Size
The bed size you choose today can affect your comfort for years, so it pays to get it right the first time.
There is no one-size fits all when it comes to sleep. Everyone’s sleep needs are different - and so is every bedroom. The right bed size depends on your room, your lifestyle, and how much space you want to grow into over time.
When buying a new bed, it’s important to consider more than just who’s sleeping in it today. Consider your room size, long-term needs, and how much space you (or your kids!) might need in the future. Choosing slightly larger now often saves upgrading later.
🛏️ Single Bed
91 x 188 cm
A great space-saver, the Single is best for children or compact bedrooms. Ideal for apartment living, guest rooms, or anywhere floor space is limited.
Best for: young children, small rooms, occasional use
🛏️ King Single Bed
107 x 203 cm
Wider and longer than a standard Single, a King Single gives growing kids, teens, and even adults extra room to stretch out. It’s a smart upgrade that can last longer through growth stages and offers long term choices for children's bedrooms.
Best for: growing kids, teens, solo sleepers who want extra length
🛏️ Double Bed
137 x 188 cm
The Double is a step up in width from the King Single while still compact enough for smaller spaces. It is popular with teens, university students, and solo adults who want a bit more space without moving up to a Queen.
Best for: teens, spare rooms, solo adults
🛏️ Queen Bed
153 x 203 cm
Our most popular size. A Queen delivers the perfect balance of comfort and space for couples, while still fitting most standard bedrooms. and is a generous option for solo sleepers. If you are sharing a bed, this is generally the minimum size we recommend.
Best for: couples, master bedrooms, guest rooms
🛏️ King Bed
167 x 203 cm
A King bed gives couples maximum personal space and is ideal for those who value undisturbed sleep or have different sleep styles. Also a top choice for taller individuals or those who just love extra room.

🛏️ Super King & California King
