Small Single Beds & Frames: Up to 15% off

Q: How big is a small single bed?

A small single bed frame will fit a mattress that measures 75 cm wide and 190 cm long. In imperial measurements, that's 2’6” wide and 6’3” inches long. Since they're narrower than a single bed, they're best for small rooms, such as your child's bedroom or spare rooms. They're also practical for siblings sharing a room, too.

What age is a small single bed for?

A small single bed is ideal for younger children who have outgrown their toddler bed. Whilst there is no particular age recommendation for small single beds, children over the age of four may be most comfortable in a small single bed. To support your child's transition into their first "big bed", you can add a safety rail for extra reassurance.

Is a small single bed suitable for an adult?
