Mattress, Bedsheet & Bed Frame Size
Friday, October 14, 2016
Getting the right mattress may take some effort.
But here's a gentle warning which might help you save some money when choosing the bed frame too.
Remember this, King/Queen/Double are all not SI units!
Unlike cm that stays the same length wherever you go, "these sizes" may vary.
The Queen size mattress in Singapore & Malaysia is different from the Queen size mattress in other countries! I believe the Caucasians and Africans will required a longer mattress of the same width since they have a taller built. Their feets will be sticking out if they are to get the "Queen Size" mattress meant for our local market.
The same thing goes to the other sizes too!
You may be surprised that Singapore's Ikea Single Bedsheet can actually fit a locally made Super Single mattress too.
With online shopping gaining more popular than ever, some of us may be planning to purchase mattresses or bed frames online.
A photo of a Double or Queen size bed frame can be easily confused. Therefore, if you really found a nice bed frame that you love, make sure you have the measurements of your mattress checked and double checked to ensure that it fits the bed frame before purchasing.
If you have gotten a slight larger bed frame (unlike the one below), one may purchase a bed frame fitting topper to lay over the mattress to cover the gaps if necessary.
However, if the problem is the other way round, you may really need to find another bed frame that is able to contain your mattress.
This post was sparked off when I saw this double, queen or king size (I seriously don't know) mattress that is sticking out of the bed frame in the clearance section.
I guess this mattress may end up in the clearance section for obvious reasons.
And not to forget, if you love a very thick mattress which gives you the euro hotel feel, be prepared to put in extra effort in finding the fitting bed sheets as "queen size" bed sheets out there may not be able to cover your mattress fully.
Therefore, it may be wise to select a mattress of a standard size (unless you are really that tall) that is not too thick and always make sure the measurements (cm x cm) of your mattress fit your bed frame and vice versa!
The standard sizes(cm) in Singapore are as follow:
Single - 91x190
Super Single - 107x190
Queen - 152x190
King - 182x190
