How to Choose The Right Mattress Size
The first thing that you will need to consider before buying a mattress is the sizes, there are a few questions you will need to consider before your purchase, are you buying a new bed or does the new mattress have to fit into your old bed?
If you are simply buying a new mattress, all you need to think about is the space and how many users are using the mattress, there is no specific size to follow but we advise getting a bigger bed and mattress as possible.
Our mattress size guide explains the different sizes of beds and their measurements to assist you to find the bed size that will serve your bedroom needs best.
When looking for a new mattress, choosing the right size from a plethora of options can be difficult, especially when there are sub-categories in certain segments. With very little difference in dimensions between certain sizes, getting the right fit for yourself can be a daunting task.
Mattress for kids
For a kid, a single size will be sufficient for most of the conditions, but if there is extra budget, you should consider getting a super single size mattress or queen, as kids are growing up very fast and extra space allows them to have more space and mattress can last for few more years.
Mattress for Couple
While sharing a mattress should always consider for king size if possible, as the extra space will make the world prettier, but if there are any restrictions, should at least consider as queen size mattress

FAQ About Mattress Sizes and Measurement
What size mattress should I buy for a small bedroom in Malaysia?
Many Malaysians with compact rooms (e.g., studio apartments) ask whether a Single or Super Single mattress is sufficient. For example, a Single size is typically around 90 × 190 cm.
Are Malaysian mattress size standards different from IKEA or imported ones?
Yes — many local-size mattresses in Malaysia use lengths around 190 cm, while some imported (e.g., IKEA) models use 200 cm length or slightly different widths.
What mattress size is best for a couple or co-sleeping with a child/pet in Malaysia?
Couples often want more width to avoid sleep disturbance or to accommodate a child/pet. Queen size (≈150 × 190 cm) or King (≈180 × 190 cm) are typical references.
Will a mattress fit through my apartment door or staircase if it’s large (Queen/King)?
Consumers often worry about delivery logistics: doorway width, elevator size, stair access and mattress thickness.
Does mattress thickness or material affect how I should choose the size?
Yes — while width × length defines “size”, the thickness and material (foam, hybrid, latex) affect height off the floor, frame compatibility, and how the bed fits the room.
