First-Home Mattress Buying Guide
Choosing Mattresses for Your First Home in Singapore
Setting up your first HDB, BTO, condominium or new apartment? Start with the rooms you need to furnish, the bed-frame measurements and how you prefer a mattress to feel. You don't have to spend the same amount on every room.
MattressMart offers options from straightforward foam and Bonnell spring mattresses to individual pocket springs, pillow-top comfort, latex and hybrid designs. This guide helps you plan a practical bedroom budget and compare actual mattress sizes without making a rushed choice.

Plan Room by Room
Main bedroom
Choose your preferred feel first, then compare Queen or King dimensions and the construction you are paying for. See Queen mattress examples.
Guest or spare bedroom
A simple Single mattress such as Newbury Foam at S$149.00 may be appropriate when your room needs a compact option.
Children's or study room
Compare the exact frame opening and mattress height. Use the Children's & Baby Mattress Buying Guide for smaller beds.

Measure Before You Order
Singapore mattress sizes commonly used on MattressMart are shown below. Check the internal sleeping area of your bed frame, not just the frame's external dimensions. Also consider mattress thickness, bed-frame height and access through doors and lifts.
| Size | Width × length |
|---|---|
| Single | 91 × 190cm |
| Super Single | 107 × 190cm |
| Queen | 152 × 190cm |
| King | 182 × 190cm |
Imported, IKEA and European bed frames may use different measurements, such as 150 × 200cm rather than 152 × 190cm. Compare actual dimensions in our Customised Mattress Size Guide.
A Simple First-Home Mattress Shopping Checklist
- List the rooms and bed sizes you actually need to furnish.
- Measure each bed frame and check any bed-base or height requirements.
- Choose a rough mattress budget for each room, not one budget for every bed.
- Compare spring type, comfort layers, thickness and the feel you prefer.
- Open the product page for the selected variant's current price, inclusions and ordering information.
- Plan your required delivery timing around your move-in schedule and check the applicable delivery information before ordering.

First-Home Mattress FAQs
Should I buy a mattress or bed frame first?
Confirm the mattress and bed-frame dimensions together. If you have already chosen a bed frame, measure its internal opening before selecting the mattress.
Does every room need the same mattress?
No. Consider who will use each room, how often and the preferred feel. A guest room can have a different mattress from the main bedroom.
Is a Singapore Queen the same as an IKEA 150 × 200cm mattress?
No. Standard Singapore Queen is 152 × 190cm, while 150 × 200cm is a different width and length. Use the custom-size guide if your bed requires another dimension.
Can I use a first-home package discount?
This guide compares individual product choices; it does not introduce a new package or promotion. Check each product page for current prices and inclusions.
What if I am furnishing a room to rent out?
