Singapore Super Single Mattress Size Guide
What Is a Super Single Mattress? A Complete Guide for Singapore Homes
If you’re shopping for a new bed in Singapore, you’ve likely come across the term super single mattress. But what exactly is a super single, and how does it differ from a standard single or queen? In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know — from dimensions and suitability to cleaning and maintenance — so you can make the right choice for your HDB flat, condo, or landed property. Whether you’re furnishing a guest room, a teenager’s bedroom, or a compact master bedroom, the super single size offers a versatile middle ground that’s increasingly popular in Singapore’s space-conscious homes.
Super Single Mattress Dimensions: How Big Is It?
A super single mattress measures 107 cm wide by 190 cm long (approximately 42 inches by 75 inches). That’s 15 cm wider than a standard single (92 cm) but 45 cm narrower than a queen (152 cm). The extra width makes it ideal for a single sleeper who wants more room to stretch out, without taking up the floor space of a queen. In Singapore, where HDB bedrooms can be compact, the super single is a popular choice for:
- Teenagers transitioning from a single bed
- Guest rooms that double as a home office
- Small master bedrooms in 3-room or 4-room HDB flats
- Condos with limited floor area
Because the length is the same as a queen (190 cm), most adults up to 180 cm tall will find it comfortable. Taller individuals may want to look for a super single with an extended length (200 cm), though that’s less common in Singapore.
Why Choose a Super Single Mattress in Singapore?
Singapore’s humid tropical climate and space constraints make the super single a smart choice for several reasons:
Space Efficiency
In a typical 4-room HDB bedroom (roughly 3.5 m × 3.5 m), a super single leaves room for a wardrobe, desk, and bedside table without feeling cramped. It’s also easier to move through narrow corridors and lift lobbies compared to a queen or king.
Cost-Effective
Super single mattresses are generally more affordable than queen or king sizes. And when it comes to professional cleaning, the price is lower too — Sureclean’s wet extraction for a super single mattress is $140 (before GST), while dry extraction is $115 (before GST). That’s a significant saving compared to a queen ($165 wet, $140 dry) or king ($195 wet, $165 dry).
Easy to Maintain
Because the mattress is smaller, it’s easier to rotate, flip, and air out — essential in Singapore’s humidity to prevent dust mites and mould. Regular professional cleaning every 6–12 months helps extend its lifespan.
How to Choose the Right Super Single Mattress for Your Home
Not all super single mattresses are created equal. Here are key factors to consider when buying one in Singapore:
- Firmness: Side sleepers often prefer medium-soft, while back and stomach sleepers need medium-firm to firm. Test in-store if possible.
- Material: Memory foam, latex, pocketed springs, or hybrid. Memory foam can trap heat — look for cooling gel layers if you sleep hot.
- Thickness: Most super single mattresses are 20–25 cm thick. Thicker mattresses may require deeper fitted sheets.
- Bed frame compatibility: Ensure your bed frame or platform is designed for a super single (107 cm wide). Some frames are adjustable, but many are fixed.
- Warranty and trial: Many Singapore mattress brands offer 10-year warranties and 100-night trials. Take advantage of these.
Super Single Mattress Cleaning: Why It Matters in Singapore’s Climate
Singapore’s high humidity (averaging 80%+) creates the perfect breeding ground for dust mites, bacteria, and mould. Even with a mattress protector, sweat, dead skin cells, and spills accumulate over time. Professional cleaning is essential for:
- Dust mite removal: Dust mites are a leading cause of allergies and asthma in Singapore. Our NEA-certified technicians use high-temperature steam and HEPA vacuuming to eliminate them.
- Stain removal: From coffee spills to sweat marks, our wet extraction process lifts deep-set stains without damaging the mattress.
- Odour elimination: Musty smells from trapped moisture are neutralised with eco-friendly cleaning solutions.
- Extending mattress life: Regular cleaning prevents premature wear and helps maintain support.

- Use a waterproof, breathable mattress protector — wash it every two weeks.
- Vacuum the mattress surface monthly with a HEPA-filter vacuum.
- Air out the mattress by stripping the sheets and opening windows for a few hours.
- Rotate the mattress every 3 months (if it’s not a one-sided design).
- Avoid eating or drinking in bed to minimise spills.
- If you notice any dampness, use a dehumidifier in the room.
Frequently Asked Questions About Super Single Mattresses
1. Can two adults sleep on a super single mattress?
Technically yes, but it’s tight — 107 cm wide is only 53.5 cm per person, which is less than a standard single. It’s better suited for one adult or a child. For couples, a queen (152 cm) or king (183 cm) is recommended.
2. What size bedsheets do I need for a super single mattress?
Look for sheets labelled “Super Single” or “Single XL” (107 cm × 190 cm). Many Singapore retailers carry this size. Avoid using standard single sheets (92 cm wide) as they won’t fit properly.
3. How often should I professionally clean my super single mattress?
Every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage. If you have allergies, pets, or children, consider twice a year. Sureclean’s wet extraction is especially effective for deep cleaning in Singapore’s humid climate.
4. Is a super single mattress the same as a single XL?
In Singapore, “super single” and “single XL” are often used interchangeably, but single XL can sometimes refer to a longer single (92 cm × 200 cm). Always confirm the exact dimensions (107 cm × 190 cm) before buying.
5. Can Sureclean clean a super single mattress in a condo or landed property?
Yes, we serve all property types across Singapore. For condos and landed homes, we may need to assess access (e.g., lift size, parking). Contact us for a free quote and we’ll arrange a convenient time.
