What size is a single 3ft bed?

A UK single bed is commonly known as a 3ft bed. The mattress size is 90cm wide by 190cm long, which makes it the standard compact bed size for one sleeper.

It is a strong option for children, teenagers, guests, students and adults in compact rooms. Always check the finished bed-frame footprint, as upholstery, headboards and storage bases can add to the mattress dimensions.

Single 3ft bed buying guide

Is a single bed the same as a 3ft bed?

Yes. A UK single is commonly called a 3ft bed and uses a 90cm x 190cm mattress.

Who is a single 3ft bed best for?

It is best for children, teenagers, guests, students and one adult in a compact room. It is also useful for spare rooms and box rooms where floor space is limited.

Should I choose storage?

Storage is useful if the room has limited wardrobes, toy storage or drawers. Choose ottoman storage when you want one larger hidden area, or drawer storage where side clearance and regular access are more important.

What should I measure?

Measure the mattress size, finished frame footprint, headboard height, storage opening clearance, side clearance, socket positions, radiators, doors, wardrobes, desks and the route to the room.
