How to choose a single mattress

Single or king single

A standard Australian single is about 92 x 188 cm and suits bunks, trundles and smaller kids' rooms. A king single is about 107 x 203 cm, giving more width and length for teenagers, taller sleepers and adults in a guest room. Check your bed frame's listed mattress size before you choose.

Thickness

Mattresses here range from slim foam and fold-up mattresses to deep euro top builds over 30 cm. Thinner mattresses suit bunks and trundles where rail height matters. Deeper pillow top and euro top mattresses add a cushioned layer for everyday beds. Foldable mattresses pack away into a cupboard, which suits sleepovers, campers and daybeds.

Foam, pocket spring or hybrid

  • Foam mattresses are lighter, quiet and usually cheaper.
  • Pocket spring mattresses have individually wrapped coils for support and airflow.
  • Hybrid builds layer foam over springs for a mix of both.

Firmness

Medium firm is a common pick for kids and teens as it keeps a growing spine supported. Softer tops suit side sleepers. Each listing gives a firmness guide.

Budget

Prices start from about $60 for foam and fold-up mattresses, with most around $150 to $250. Thick pocket spring and euro top models cost more. Also see bed sheets and quilts to make up the bed.

Single Mattresses: common questions

What size is a single mattress in Australia?

A standard single is roughly 92 cm wide and 188 cm long. A king single is roughly 107 cm wide and 203 cm long. Measurements vary slightly between brands, so check the dimensions on each listing and match them to your bed frame.

Should I get a single or king single for a teenager?

A king single is a good choice for teenagers and taller kids. It is about 15 cm wider and 15 cm longer than a single, so there is room to grow. If the room is small or the bed is a bunk or trundle, a standard single may be the only fit.

How thick should a bunk bed mattress be?

Check the bunk bed's listing for its maximum mattress thickness. The top of the mattress should sit well below the top of the guard rail. Thinner foam or spring mattresses are usually the right pick for top bunks, while deeper euro top mattresses suit standard beds.

How does the mattress arrive?

Many mattresses arrive vacuum packed and rolled in a box, which makes them easier to carry upstairs. Unbox it on the bed base, cut the plastic carefully and let it expand. Give it a day or so to reach full shape and air out before sleeping on it.

How firm is a single mattress?

Firmness varies by model, from medium to firm, and each listing gives a firmness guide. Medium firm suits most kids and back sleepers. A pillow top or euro top adds a softer surface layer on top of firmer support underneath.

Can I wash the mattress cover?

It depends on the mattress. Some have a removable, washable cover, while others need spot cleaning only. Check the care instructions on the listing. A mattress protector is the easiest way to keep any mattress clean, especially for younger kids.

“Happy with the new shed-looks great, easy to put together good instructions relatively easy to follow. Removing the plastic film was very time consuming, in the end could not remove some of it. Quick delivery. We were 9 screws short, not a deal breaker, however made it awkward to finish. Very good shed.”
