Children's & Baby Mattress Buying Guide
Choosing a Mattress for a Child's Bed or Baby Cot
A first bed, a growing child's bedroom, a compact bunk frame and a baby cot can call for very different mattress measurements. This guide helps you explore MattressMart's published children's and baby mattress range using clear dimensions, thicknesses, construction and prices.
Begin with the actual measurements and requirements of your bed frame or cot, then compare the products that offer the corresponding size.

Single and Super Single Mattresses for Children's Rooms
These models are listed in standard Singapore Single (91 × 190cm) and Super Single (107 × 190cm) sizes. Compare the overall mattress height and construction, especially for a bed frame with raised sides or a bunk rail.
| Mattress | Construction and comfort | Height | Single | Super Single |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Koil Prestige Kids | Bonnell springs · medium-firm 6/10 | 15cm | S$238.00 | S$299.00 |
| Voli Active (clearance) | Individual pocket springs · medium-firm 7/10 | 16.5cm | S$298.00 | S$338.00 |
| Magic Koil The New Yorker | Bonnell springs · medium-firm 7/10 | 16.5cm | S$359.00 | S$389.00 |
Prestige Kids is a practical 15cm-high option with a 6/10 medium-firm rating. Voli Active has independently wrapped pocket springs and is offered as a clearance promotion; see its product page for current promotional conditions. The New Yorker has a 16.5cm Bonnell-spring construction and a 7/10 medium-firm rating. A higher number describes a firmer feel on the product's published scale, not a universal recommendation.
Day Beds, IKEA-Style and European Bed Frames
Some day beds and imported children's frames use different dimensions from Singapore's standard Single size. Prestige Kids Customised Size has these selected options:
| Mattress width × length | Height | Prestige Kids price |
|---|---|---|
| 90 × 190cm | 15cm | S$321.30 |
| 90 × 200cm | 15cm | S$321.30 |
| 80 × 200cm | 15cm | S$321.30 |
Explore Prestige Kids Customised Size. If your bed requires other measurements, see our Customised Mattress Size Guide or send our team the actual frame dimensions. A similar size name does not guarantee fit with every IKEA or imported frame.
Mattresses for Baby Cots
Our two published Magic Koil baby cot mattresses share the same 60 × 120cm width and length, but use different core materials and thicknesses.
| Cot mattress | Core material | Width × length × thickness | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Koil Baby Cot Foam | 100% virgin foam | 60 × 120 × 10cm | S$254.80 |
| Magic Koil Pure Natural Latex Baby | Natural latex | 60 × 120 × 7.5cm | S$330.00 |
Before selecting a baby cot mattress, check that its actual size and firmness satisfy the cot manufacturer's instructions and current infant safe-sleep guidance. A product's comfort rating or name should not be treated as a safety certification.
Measure the Mattress Space Before You Order
- Measure inside width and length: measure the area where the mattress rests, not the outside dimensions of the bed frame or cot.
- Check thickness: for bunk beds, loft beds and any frame with guard rails, follow the bed manufacturer's permitted mattress height and other instructions.
- Review construction and comfort: compare the stated spring or foam system, rather than assuming every mattress of the same size feels alike.
- Check the exact product variant: confirm the current price, size and ordering details on the product page.
For a non-standard frame, photographs of the base and inside edges can help our team understand the dimensions. You can contact MattressMart with measurements if you need further assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Single and Super Single?
Standard Singapore Single measures 91 × 190cm, while Super Single measures 107 × 190cm. Both listed options are 190cm long, but Super Single is wider. Check the frame's internal dimensions before selecting one.
Which listed mattresses have a 15cm profile?
Magic Koil Prestige Kids and Prestige Kids Customised Size are both 15cm thick. The relevant options depend on whether your bed takes standard Singapore or selected customised dimensions.
Is a day-bed mattress the same as a Singapore Single?
Not necessarily. The selected customised Day Bed option is 80 × 200cm, while standard Singapore Single is 91 × 190cm. Compare actual measurements rather than relying on the bed type's name.
Can I use the same mattress for every bunk bed?
No. Bunk frames have different internal sizes and manufacturer-specific mattress-height limits. Confirm those requirements and the selected mattress dimensions before buying.
Do both baby cot mattresses have the same thickness?
No. The Baby Cot Foam model is 10cm thick, while the Pure Natural Latex Baby model is 7.5cm thick. Both have listed width and length of 60 × 120cm.
What if my child's bed needs a non-standard size?
See our customised-size guide for selectable dimensions, or send your measurements through the contact page to enquire about other possibilities.
