Single bedded refers to a bed, sleeping space or bedroom arrangement designed for one person, typically featuring a single bed — the smallest standard adult bed size in Australia. In simple terms, a single bedded room or space centres around a single mattress and bed frame, offering compact, efficient sleeping accommodation that fits smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, children’s rooms, student flats or multi‑use spaces. The main reason Australians choose single bedded setups is their space‑saving practicality, comfort for one sleeper and flexibility — all without compromising on style or comfort.
Single bedded arrangements vary widely in form and function. Here’s why understanding the different styles helps you choose the right option for your space and lifestyle.
Typical size: 92 cm × 188 cm (approx.)
Ideal for children, teens, guest rooms or compact spaces
Classic choice with basic frame and mattress
Slightly longer than standard, often ~92 cm × 203 cm
Suits taller sleepers or older teens
Great in rooms where length is available but width is limited
Two or more beds stacked vertically
Excellent for siblings, sleepovers or holiday homes
Maximises vertical space in shared or compact rooms
Pull‑out bed stored under a main single
Perfect for guests or multi‑sleep configurations
Offers extra sleeping capacity without extra floor space
Functions as a sofa by day and bed by night
Ideal for multi‑purpose spaces, home offices or guest nooks
Stylish frames often feature decorative ends
Raised bed with space underneath
Great for study desks, storage or seating under the bed
Suits kids’ rooms and small studio apartments
Built‑in drawers or compartments under the mattress
Keeps linens, clothes or toys organised
Smart choice for minimalist spaces
Metal frames: sleek, industrial, often minimal
Timber frames: warm, classic, flexible with décor
Each style serves a different functional need or design vision — from practical everyday sleep to versatile, space‑efficient living solutions.
Selecting the right single bedded option involves thinking about space, sleeper needs and style. Here’s a practical buyer’s guide.
Check doorway width, wall lengths and clearances
Allow room for bedside tables or movement
Ask:
Is it for a child, teen, adult or guest?
Does the person prefer extra length (long single)?
Will it be a temporary or long‑term bed?
Match the bed frame to a good mattress:
Firm or medium for adults
Soft or supportive foam for kids
Consider thickness based on under‑bed drawers or trundle space
Storage beds help declutter
Loft or trundle beds make small spaces more usable
Daybeds double as seating
Timber beds for warm, classic rooms
Minimal metal frames for modern or industrial themes
Upholstered singles for cosy comfort
Solid joints and strong slats improve longevity — especially if the bed will be used daily.
In simple terms, the best single bedded choice fits your room, supports the sleeper comfortably and integrates with your décor.
Single bedded spaces are practical and stylish — here’s why Australians choose them.
Space efficiency: perfect for small rooms and shared homes
Affordability: smaller size often means lower cost
Versatility: fits children’s rooms, guest bedrooms or studio spaces
Easy maintenance: fewer linens and simpler to make
Design flexibility: frames and finishes to suit any style
Kids’ bedrooms: robust and easy to style as kids grow
Teen rooms: long single options for taller sleepers
Guest rooms: trundle beds for extra sleeping without clutter
Studios or apartments: daybeds or loft beds to save floor space
Holiday homes & Airbnbs: reliable, efficient sleeping solutions

Here’s what’s shaping single bedded design across Australian homes this year:
Single beds with built‑in storage, desks underneath (loft style) or pull‑out trundles are trending — perfect for compact living.
Natural timber and oak tones pair with neutrals and greenery, creating calm, welcoming bedrooms.
Soft headboards and linen‑textured frames add a boutique feel, even in single bedrooms.
Combining timber with metal frames adds visual interest and suits modern interiors.
Monochrome with accent textures or soft pastels with layered throws are highly sought after for children’s and guest bedrooms.
These trends emphasise a blend of comfort, practicality and design — making single bedded spaces feel stylish and complete.
Style makes a single bedded room feel intentional and inviting — here’s how:
Use quality sheets, quilts and throws in complementary tones to add depth — even a single bed benefits from layered texture.
Pair with a slim bedside table, wall shelf or floating shelf to save space while keeping essentials accessible.
For kids: playful colours and soft toys. For teens: bold art prints and statement cushions.
Shelves, pegboards or wall hooks maximise storage without crowding the floor.
A soft rug beside the bed enhances comfort and helps define the sleeping zone in multi‑use rooms.
Here’s why this works: thoughtful styling makes compact spaces feel curated and cosy, turning a simple single bedded setup into a welcoming sanctuary.
