King Single Mattress

A king single mattress is 107cm by 203cm, is a great choice for growing teens or a solo adult sleeper if you’re limited on bedroom space. It's a practical choice when a standard single feels too small, but a double isn't quite right. Explore your options with personalised guidance from Forty Winks bedMATCH®.

About king single mattresses

Choosing a king single mattress can be a smart way to plan for the years ahead. With more room to grow than a standard single, it's an option worth considering when upgrading a child's bedroom or furnishing a space for a taller solo sleeper. Discover king single mattresses across a range of brands, materials, and comfort feels at Forty Winks.

What size is a king single mattress?

A king single mattress is 107cm wide by 203cm long (1070mm by 2030mm). Compared to a single mattress, a king single offers an extra 15cm in both width and length. It's also 15cm wider than a long single mattress, although both share the same 203cm length.

Considering a double instead? While a double mattress is 31cm wider, it's also 15cm shorter than a king single. That extra length is worth keeping in mind if you're buying for someone taller.

As well as the needs of the sleeper, consider the room size when choosing your next mattress. A king single can generally fit within a 3m x 3m room, though make sure to take into consideration the layout of the room, and any door opening or furniture that may impact how the bed fits within the space.

If you’re still unsure which mattress size is right for you, check out our bed size guide to compare the king single to various mattress sizes.

Who is a king single mattress best for?

A king single mattress is a popular choice for growing teenagers who need more room than a standard single. The additional length can be particularly useful as they get taller, potentially making it a more practical option for the years ahead.

It's also worth considering for adults who sleep alone and prefer a longer mattress. At 203cm long, a king single offers the same length as a queen mattress, without requiring as much bedroom space. For smaller bedrooms or guest rooms, a king single can offer a useful balance of sleeping space and room for other furniture.

If you're choosing between a king single and a double, think about what matters most: extra length or extra width. A king single gives taller sleepers more legroom, while a double provides a wider sleeping surface.

How do I choose the right king single mattress?

When choosing a king single mattress, think about who'll be sleeping on it and what feels comfortable to them. A mattress for a growing teenager may need different consideration from one chosen for an adult.

Mattress comfort is personal. Some sleepers enjoy a plush, cushioned feel, while others prefer something firmer. But comfort is only part of the picture. The right mattress should also provide support suited to the sleeper's individual needs.

Not sure where to start? Our Forty Winks Sleep Advisors can help you compare different mattress options. For eligible sleepers, bedMATCH® uses science-backed technology to help identify suitable support levels, making it easier to narrow down the choices.

What bed fits a king single mattress?

A king single mattress should be paired with a compatible king single bed frame or bed base.

If you’re updating a teenager's bedroom, a king single bed with built-in storage can help keep bedding, clothes, and other essentials organised. For a guest room, consider a simple bed frame that leaves enough space for other furniture.

Explore our range of king single bed frames and king single bed bases to find an option that suits your mattress and bedroom layout. Before buying, check the bed frame's external dimensions and your mattress manufacturer's support requirements.
