Greetings to you all from the Seconds Furniture! Who of us hasn’t spent days or weeks searching for the perfect mattress and feeling that it is as difficult as trying to find piranhas in the ocean? Here, we want to show you why and how this Australian mattress size guide has been created. No matter whether you are doing a renovation, or you have just moved into a new house and wish to furnish it, we are going to assist you in the miraculous journey of Australian mattresses.

Why Mattress Size Matters at All?

Seconds Furniture feels that the king-size, queen-size size or standard-sized mattress is always a major consideration to have so as for a proper sleeping rest. One’s correct sleeping position is not only crucial for those who sleep alone but also for those who sleep with another person. In addition, it also affects the decor of your bedroom. Therefore, we are aware of how an improper structure bed can affect the complete sleep experience of a customer.

Australian Mattresses Size Chart.

Let us categorize the most frequently mentioned in this guide mattress dimensions that you are about to see in our showrooms and all around Australia.

Single Mattress

  • Dimension: 92 cm x 188 cm
  • Best For: Up for kids, and teenagers but rather small guest quarters or law-restricted adults.

Some of the most harvested mattresses in the market including children’s and compact spaces seem to be the single mattress. This sponge bed is very nice but particularly for adults it may feel too tight for some, especially for those who are tall.

King Single Mattress

  • Dimensions: 107 cm x 203 cm
  • Best for: Tall teenagers, adults who sleep solo but want extra space

Indeed, the king single is often recommended to users who are looking for more space than what a standard single bed provides. It is particularly trending with the use of guest rooms and studio apartments.

Double Mattress

  • Dimensions: 138 cm x 188 cm
  • Best for: Couples who are happy to get close to each other, and single adults who are after leeching out their own space.

The double mattress has proved to be a versatile option in our inventory. It is ideal for couples who love to cuddle, or single adults craving more space yet trying to minimize on-the-floor area usage.

Queen Mattress

  • Dimensions: 153 cm x 203 cm
  • Best for: Most couples, single adults who love their space.

The queen is the most popular mattress in our selling range and there is a reason why. It provides just enough space for couples, yet comfortably fits in most bedrooms. We have had a good number of customers praising this particular size for improving their sleeping patterns.

King Size Mattress.

  • Dimensions: 183 cm x 203 cm
  • Best for: Couples who appreciate personal space and young kids’ families

If you have enough space, we strongly suggest you go for a king-size mattress. After all, who doesn’t want extra space than a standard mattress except for those who are going super king?

Super king-size mattress.

  • Dimensions: 203 cm x 203 cm
  • Best for: Luxury seekers, big-sized families, or those who want the best sleep quality.

The Super King is the crown jewel of our mattress range. It fits domestic customers who want sleeping space and comfort that goes up and above.

Less Common Mattress Sizes

These are less popular in the requests, however, we do have these specialty measures on offer for our customers with special requirements:

Long single mattress.

Dimensions: 92 cm x 203 cm
This is a good choice for tall people who do not require excessive width. This is used as an extra mattress for boys’ rooms and is especially popular among us for teenage boys’ rooms.

Split Queen and Split King Mattresses

These have the same overall dimensions as regular queen and king mattresses but are split down the middle. They’re fairly common with our customers who have adjustable bed bases or with couples who have different firmness preferences.

Selecting the Proper Size for a Mattress

At Seconds Furniture, we take our customers through several factors to help them decide on the right mattress size:

  • Room’s Size: It is very important to measure your bedroom always upon the understanding that some space must be left around the bed of not less than 75 cm to allow for movement.
  • Sleeper’s Size: The equivalent which is slightly more than a king single size may be attractive to most tall clients & also those who find a queen bed a little short.
  • Number of Sleepers: For couples, the least we usually recommend is a queen size for comfort.
  • Budget: The choices include a wide range to accommodate the budget situation of our customers, but one should note that larger mattresses tend to be more expensive.
  • Lifestyle: For families with children and pets, who tend to end up sharing your bed, we might up-size you.
  • Future Plans: For our single customers who are usually seeking a do, sometimes we advise them to upsize as they may soon down.

Sizes of Mattresses: Australian and Other Countries

Since we are a good Australian business, we wish to stress that no mattress sizes have the same measure. For example:

  • The UK double looks somewhat skinny in comparison to our Australian double.
  • The US queen is slightly shorter than how we perceive an Australian queen.
  • European king is more of an Australian queen size as well.

As a matter of our policy, information dimensions should be verified by the clients, especially if accessories like sheets or a bed frame are purchased.

Bring Your Desired Mattress Home

Most people have asked this question during their quest for help regarding mattress size selection. However, you should always remember that the ultimate factor in determining the size of a mattress is you, the space available, and your finances. We would like to invite you to our showroom, and yes, we mean lying down and getting comfortable as you “try out” the different sizes. Our staff is always ready and happy to assist you with your measurements and ensure you find the appropriate size for your home.

At Seconds Furniture, we understand that quality sleep is one of the fundamental building blocks of happiness. This is why we will do anything and everything to see to it that every client walks away with a mattress that will fit all their needs, whether a small single or a large super king.
