Who is a single bed frame suitable for?

Single beds are commonly considered for kids' bedrooms, teenagers, guest rooms that need somewhere to sleep without having space for a larger bed. They can also work when you're furnishing a room with two separate beds. Before choosing a frame, check its complete external dimensions rather than working from the mattress size alone. Headboards, footboards and side rails can all add to the overall footprint.

Single or king single?

A standard Australian king single bed frame measures 107cm wide by 203cm long, giving you additional width and length compared with a single. That extra room can be great for growing teenagers or an adult guest. Measure the room and think about the other furniture you need to accommodate, such as a desk, wardrobe or bedside table. The right choice comes down to balancing sleeping space with the amount of usable room you want to retain.

Additional storage for smaller rooms

Additional storage can be particularly handy when a bedroom also needs room for a desk, toys, clothes or guest belongings. Depending on the design, you may find drawers beneath the frame or other storage configurations. You can also browse bed bases with storage for more options. Remember to check how any drawers or compartments open so there's enough clearance to access them once the bed is in position.

Choose a style for the bedroom

Single bed frames come in plenty of styles despite their smaller size. Timber and timber-look finishes can introduce natural tones, while white frames keep the look simple and work easily with different bedding as tastes change. Metal frames offer another look, while fabric, velvet and bouclé upholstery add texture and a softer finish around the bed.

Finding a single bed frame for a kids' room

A single bed is often the next step as a child's bedroom changes with them. You'll find simple timber and metal frames alongside designs created with younger bedrooms in mind, including house-style frames with their distinctive pitched outline. Consider how easily your child can get in and out of the bed and whether you need additional products such as safety bed rails.

Single beds for guest rooms and multipurpose spaces

A single bed can give you a dedicated sleeping space without using as much of the room as a larger bed, making it worth considering for a study or occasional guest room. If the room has more than one purpose, look at how the bed works alongside the furniture already there. A compact frame can leave more space for a desk or storage, while an under-bed storage design can add somewhere to keep spare bedding and other belongings.

If you're completing the whole setup, you can also pair the frame with a compatible single mattress or browse single bedroom packages.

Single Bed Frame FAQ

What size is a single bed frame in Australia?

A standard Australian single mattress measures 92cm wide by 188cm long. The bed frame itself will usually have a larger footprint, depending on features such as the side rails, headboard and footboard. Check the external dimensions of the individual frame when measuring your room.

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

A king single provides more width and length than a standard single, while a single takes up less floor space. Consider your teenager's comfort, available bedroom space and the other furniture that needs to fit in the room before choosing between them.

Can an adult sleep on a single bed?

A single bed can be used by one adult, but whether the dimensions feel comfortable will depend on the individual sleeper. Taller sleepers or anyone wanting additional room may prefer to compare a single with a king single or larger bed size.

Do I need a separate bed base with a single bed frame?

It depends on the construction of the frame. Many bed frames include a support system such as slats, while other bed and mattress combinations may have different requirements. Check the individual frame specifications and the support requirements of your chosen mattress before ordering.

Can I buy a single bed frame and mattress together?

You can shop for a frame and mattress separately or browse single bedroom packages if you'd prefer to purchase multiple bedroom pieces together. Check exactly what's included in each package before ordering.
