Mattress and bed conversion chart

So what is the right mattress foryou? Mattress sizing from country to country can differ greatly. Given there is no international standard when it comes to mattress sizes, it’s hard to know what the right size is if you are used to another country's sizing but need a new bedframe or mattress in Australia. That is why IKEA have assembled a mattress conversion chart that makes it easy for everyone to find the perfect  or foam mattress for a comfy night’s sleep.

Need more help choosing the right bed?

Single bed size

Single beds are great for young children's bedrooms or for smaller bedrooms. They are quite compact in size so as your teens turn into adults they may need an upgrade. A single bed is normally 80 - 90cm wide and 200 cm long. 

Some of our single beds even come with under-bed storage such as our classic MALM bed, great if you have a smaller space and are looking for hidden storage spaces. 

IKEA offers a range of single beds that pull out with a hidden bed and mattress underneath to accommodate another person, check out our SLÄKT bed. Perfect for when you have guests over. 

Double bed size

A double bed is great for teenagers or young adults who want to upgrade from a single bed. Some couples will find a double bed comfortable to sleep in together especially if they don't have the space for a larger bed.

Standard double beds have a mattress that is around 200 cm long and 135 cm wide. A standard double bed frame will be longer and wider than the mattress, so it is something to consider when measuring the space you want to put the bed in. 

We also have a great range of double beds with under-bed storage, such as this MALM bed. They are great if you have a smaller living space and are always searching for extra storage room. 

If you feel a double bed is not quite big enough then perhaps our queen-size beds or king-size beds are perfect for you. 

Queen bed size

A queen size bed is very popular for most people in Australia. A queen bed is a popular option for both single people and couples. 

Standard queen beds have a mattress that is around 202 cm long and 152 cm wide.

We also have a great range of queen beds with under-bed storage, such as this SONGESAND bed. Extra under bed storage is great if you're looking for more room to store all your things. 

If you're looking for that more luxe look than perhaps the king bed is for you. 

 

King bed size

A king size bed our largest one on offer. It is great for couples that love extra space throughout the night, or individuals who want extra space while the sleep. Compared to the queen there is actually quite a bit more space so it is important to measure and make sure you have the room for a king bed size. 

Standard king beds have a mattress that is around 180 cm long and 200 cm wide.

We know the king size bed will take up quite a bit of space in your bedroom, so perhaps opt for one with under-bed storage, so you don't need to miss out on any extra storage space. A great option is the TONSTAD bed.
