King Single Beds & Bed Frames

King single beds for small spaces

When you need a bed that offers extra room without taking over the room, a king single bed is the perfect solution. Ideal for growing kids, teens, solo adult sleepers, or guest rooms, this size gives you more sleeping space than a standard single, without requiring the footprint of a double or queen.

A king single bed with storage is a smart pick for compact rooms or studio apartments, helping you maximise every centimetre of space. Built-in drawers or lift-up frames are ideal for storing bedding, clothes, or even kids' toys, keeping your room tidy and functional. If you’re furnishing a smaller home or multifunctional space, it’s a great way to get flexibility and comfort in one neat package.

Benefits of king single beds

The king single bed offers that ideal in-between size: roomy enough for comfort, yet compact enough for tighter layouts. It’s particularly well-suited for children who’ve outgrown their single beds, or teens and adults who need a bit more stretch room. Many families choose this size for longevity, as it ‘grows’ with your child and remains comfortable through the years.

They're also a popular choice in guest rooms, where they provide generous sleeping space without overwhelming the room. If you're outfitting a second bedroom or even a short-stay rental, a king single bed frame provides both comfort and versatility.

Choosing the right king single mattress and king single bed base

To get the most out of your king single bed, pairing it with the right mattress is essential. Our king single mattress collection includes a wide range of comfort levels and constructions to suit every sleeper. Whether you prefer the body-contouring support of a memory foam mattress, the responsiveness of innerspring, or the balanced feel of a pocket spring mattress, there’s something to suit your sleep style.

For an easy, fuss-free setup, consider a mattress in a box as its compact packaging makes for easier delivery and maneuverability around corners and up stairs, and it expands to full size in just a few hours. Make sure your mattress is supported by a quality king single bed frame that suits your style and bedroom needs. Our full beds collection includes a variety of bases to choose from, including slatted, upholstered and storage styles.

Styles and materials used for king single beds

There’s a king single bed to suit every home and taste. Upholstered frames add softness and warmth, often with elegant tufted headboards that create a cosy, luxurious feel. Timber options, whether natural, stained or painted, bring a classic look that pairs well with a wide range of linen colours and textures.

If you're after a more modern or industrial look, consider metal or mixed-material frames that balance clean lines with strong structure. For added function, a king single bed with storage combines good looks with smart practicality, perfect for smaller bedrooms or shared spaces where storage is at a premium.

King single bed care and maintenance

Keeping your king single bed in good condition is simple with a few easy habits. Regularly check and tighten any bolts or screws, especially if the bed frame has drawers or moving parts. For upholstered beds, use a fabric-safe cleaner to spot clean spills and vacuum regularly to keep dust at bay.

If your frame is made from timber or metal, a soft damp cloth is usually all it takes to keep it looking fresh. And don’t forget about your mattress, rotating it every few months, and using a quality protector will help extend its life and maintain comfort.

FAQ

What size is a king single bed?

A king single bed typically measures 107cm wide by 203cm long, offering more space than a standard single, which is 92cm wide by 188cm long, without taking up as much room as a double.

Is a king single bed suitable for adults?

Yes. The extra length makes it especially comfortable for taller sleepers or anyone who prefers a bit more space without upsizing to a double or queen.

Can I use a regular single mattress on a king single bed frame?

No. A king single bed frame is longer and wider than a standard single, so it requires a correctly sized king single mattress for the best fit and support.
