Bed Size Guide in Australia - A Size Comparison

To ensure you understand all the sizes available, it's best to simply take a look at the bed size chart we will provide below. Keep in mind that bed and mattress sizes aren't universal - sizes in Australia differ from those in the US and UK but are quite similar to those in New Zealand. Let's take a look at the most common options available and their dimensions.

How to Choose the Right Bed for You and Your Family?

Learning the dimensions of various mattresses is not enough to make your decision. For example, how will you know what's the difference between a long single and a king single bed beside a few cm in width? Let's go through the basics of each bed/mattress type to find out.

• Cot mattress - Otherwise known as a baby mattress, this size is designed to fit a standard cot. It's important to check the cot size before you get the standard mattress, as there can be some variations in cot sizes depending on the manufacturer.
• Single bed - This bed is suitable for toddlers, children, and even teenagers. It can even work for adults that aren't too tall. Single mattresses can fit in any bedroom, so they are considered excellent space savers.
• Long single - As the name suggests, this bed type comes with all the benefits of a single bed but with some extra space to stretch your legs. A few extra cm in length won't make much difference when it comes to bedroom space, but will be valuable for your sleep quality! Two long singles when put together make up a king-size mattress.
• King single - This one is bigger in both width and length when compared to a standard single bed. King single bed is great for older kids and fast-growing teenagers, and it can also work for adults who don't have enough space for double or queen beds.
• Double bed - Double-size mattress is a common option for adults, but it's also great for teenagers. As a general rule, rooms sized at least 3.2 m x 3.4 m can accommodate a double bed. Double beds can accommodate two people, but they may feel a bit uncomfortable for those who require a lot of space when sleeping.
• Queen bed - Queen-sized are the most commonly used mattresses for adults in Australia - around 61% of adults sleep on a queen bed every night. This is the go-to option for couples, but it can also work great for a single person, as it allows for more comfort compared to a double bed. Queen beds can still fit easily in most bedrooms.
• King bed - King-sized beds are becoming more and more popular. You can usually find them in hotels, as they ensure plenty of space for two people. Still, before you buy one, make sure your room can fit it - king-sized beds are suitable for rooms that are at least 3.2 m in width and 4.2 m in length.
• Super king - The biggest size available, super king isn't as common as queen and king, but it promises plenty of comfort and space. It's a great choice for families who enjoy movie nights or need a bit of extra space for their pets.
