The Ultimate Guide to Bed Sizes & Blanket Size

We understand choosing and buying a new mattress can feel overwhelming, it’s a major purchase after all! 

Keep in mind that different regions have slightly different sizes of width and length. Each mattress manufacturer also has their own standards of thickness. So it’s best that you try out the mattresses yourself first.

But to make purchasing decisions easier for you, here’s a guide to bed sizes & blanket sizes you should know before taking the leap.

Understanding Bed Sizes

Twin/Single Bed Size

Perfect for children or adults who prefer a compact sleeping space, a single bed typically measures around 90 cm in width and 190-200 cm in length.

Super Single Bed Size

Offering a bit more space than a single, a super single bed is ideal for taller individuals or those who simply desire extra legroom. These beds usually measure around 100 cm wide and 190-200 cm long.

Full/Double Size Bed

Slightly wider than a super single bed, a Double Size bed typically measures around 120 cm in width and 190-200 cm in length. If you’re taller or if you usually sleep with your pet, but still looking for a relatively compact bed, this might be the perfect choice for you.

Style this mattress with layers, such as our Mono Pine Grove Plush MicrofiberThrow Blanket and Camel TOGether Luxury Plush Microfiber Throw Blanket.

Queen Size Bed

The queen reigns supreme in popularity for couples. Offering ample space for two to sprawl comfortably, a queen size bed in Asia typically measures 160 cm in width and 200 cm in length (or 160 x 200 cm). This translates to a generous 5.3 ft x 6.6 ft, providing a comfortable sleep experience for most couples. 

The Queen bed can also be the perfect choice for single sleepers who are looking for that extra space. 

Keep in mind your room dimensions before purchasing a Queen Size bed - typically you would want your room to be 300cm x 300cm in size, otherwise it will feel too cramped.

King Size Bed Dimensions

For those who truly value their sleep space, a king size bed provides the ultimate in luxurious comfort. A king size bed in Asia usually measures 180 cm in width and 200 cm in length (or 180 x 200 cm). This translates to a king-sized slumber at 6 ft x 6.6 ft, perfect for those who love to stretch out or co-sleep with children or pets.

Super King Bed Dimensions

King Bed not big enough for you? The Super King Bed measures at 200 cm in width and 200 cm in length. This is perfect if you’re a couple who sleeps with a child and a pet. Or for a couple who just prefers that extra room.

How to Choose Mattress Sizes

Consider Your Sleeping Partner

Do you sleep alone, or with a partner? Or with pets and children? Make sure the bed you’re choosing is roomy enough for you and your sleeping partners. The last thing you want is for you to feel cramped whenever you’re lying on that bed. 

Consider You and Your Partner’s Body Size

If you or your partner is tall, consider investing in a larger bed. 

Consider You and Your Partner’s Sleeping Styles

Do you usually sleep on your back? If so, you might want to consider investing in a larger bed, maybe queen size or above. You might also want to consider a bigger bed if you frequently change positions when sleeping. 

Consider The Size of Your Bedroom

Make sure the room you’re placing your bed in is big enough to accommodate the mattress, bed frame, along with furniture. Otherwise, your bedroom will feel too cramped and crowded, which is not what you want for creating a relaxing atmosphere. A good rule of thumb is to leave about 60 cm - or 25 inches - of clearance on each side of your bed.
