SleepMaker Bed and Mattress Size Guide
Sleep helps to restore and heal the body. Good sleep is essential and when you aren't sleeping well, your health takes a blow and you run yourself down. When you aren't sleeping well and there's no external factors disrupting you, then you should ask yourself - is it my mattress? Your mattress might be too old, too cramped or too hot and might not suit you or the way that you sleep. At SleepMaker, we believe mattress size plays a pivotal role in getting a good night's sleep and have created this handy mattress size guide to help you improve your sleep.
Standard Bed and Mattress Sizes
Your best bed size might suit you and the whole family but not suit your bedroom. When choosing your mattress size, you also need to consider the size of the room. All of our mattresses are proudly hand made here in Australia. Because of this and the soft and compressible nature of the materials we use mattresses may vary 1-2cm from the size guide. Variation within this range is considered normal, with the measurements given in the size guide intended to be indicative.

Mattress Size Guide FAQs
What Bed sizes are there in Australia?
Australia’s standard bed sizes include Single, Long Single, King Single, Double, Queen, King and Super King. Each size suits different sleep needs, room sizes and lifestyles.

SleepMaker offers a range of mattresses across all standard Australian bed sizes.
What is the largest bed you can buy in Australia?
The largest standard bed size available in Australia is a Super King. Measuring approximately 203cm x 203cm, it offers generous space for couples, families with young children or anyone who loves extra room while sleeping. A Super King mattress is ideal for larger bedrooms and creates a spacious, luxurious sleep setup.
Is a queen-size bigger than a king?
No, a queen-size bed is smaller than a king bed. In Australia, a queen mattress measures around 153cm x 203cm, while a king measures approximately 183cm x 203cm. Both offer the same length, but a king provides extra width, giving couples more personal sleeping space and comfort through the night.
What is a full-size bed called in Australia?
In Australia, a “full-size” bed is commonly known as a Double bed. Double mattresses measure approximately 137cm x 188cm and are a popular option for teenagers, solo sleepers wanting extra room or smaller guest bedrooms. They provide more width than a single without taking up as much space as a queen. But they are shorter than a king single or a queen size!
Is a king bed wider or longer than a queen?
A king bed in Australia is wider, not longer, than a queen bed. Both sizes are generally 203cm long, but a king mattress is 30cm wider. That extra width makes a noticeable difference for couples, especially if one partner moves during sleep or prefers more personal space.
What's the most comfortable mattress size?
The most comfortable mattress size depends on your sleep style, room size and whether you share your bed. Queen and King mattresses are popular choices because they offer plenty of space for movement and comfort. If you sleep with a partner, children or pets, upgrading to a larger mattress can make a big difference to sleep quality.
What bed size is best for couples?
Queen and king mattresses are the most popular bed sizes for couples in Australia. A queen offers a balance of comfort and space efficiency, while a king gives each sleeper more room to move freely overnight. The best option depends on your bedroom size, sleeping habits and how much personal space you prefer while sleeping.
Can two people sleep comfortably in a queen?
Yes, two people can comfortably sleep on a queen-size mattress. Queen beds are one of Australia’s most popular choices for couples because they provide a practical balance between sleeping space and room layout. If you or your partner move a lot during sleep, a king mattress may offer even greater comfort.
