Start with the room, not the bed
The biggest bed your budget allows isn't always the right one. Before choosing, measure your bedroom and remember the bed shouldn't dominate it — you still need room to walk, open wardrobes and place side tables. A good target is at least 60–75 cm of clearance on the sides you walk around.
Know the common sizes
- Single: one person, kids' rooms, compact guest rooms.
- Queen: the all-rounder for couples and most master bedrooms.
- King: spacious sleep for couples, families who co-sleep, or anyone who likes room to stretch.
Match the bed to who's sleeping
A restless sleeper or a couple with a pet or young child benefits from going one size up. If you sleep alone but love space, a queen feels luxurious without overwhelming a mid-size room.
Don't forget the frame footprint
A bed's actual footprint is bigger than the mattress — storage beds, upholstered headboards and footboards all add length and width. Always plan around the frame's outer dimensions, not just the mattress size.
Test the doorways
A king bed is no good if it can't reach the room. Check that the frame (or its parts) will fit through doorways, staircases and lifts before you buy.
