If you are comparing single bed mattress sizes between New Zealand and Singapore, you are likely dealing with a practical situation: a bed frame from New Zealand, a relocation between the two countries, or sourcing bedding across regional standards. This guide explains the dimensions clearly and addresses the practical implications.
Single Bed Mattress Size in New Zealand
A standard single bed mattress in New Zealand measures 92 centimetres wide by 190 centimetres long.
A New Zealand king single, which is the country's equivalent of Singapore's super single, measures 107 centimetres wide by 203 centimetres long.
Single Bed Mattress Size in Singapore
A standard single bed mattress in Singapore measures approximately 91 centimetres wide by 190 centimetres long.
A super single in Singapore measures approximately 107 centimetres wide by 190 centimetres long.
Comparing the Two Standards
For a standard single, the difference between New Zealand at 92 centimetres wide and Singapore at 91 centimetres wide is one centimetre. In practical terms, this is within normal manufacturing tolerances and is not a meaningful functional difference. A Singapore single mattress will fit in a New Zealand single frame and vice versa without issue.
The length of 190 centimetres is identical for the standard single size in both countries.
For the wider single option, New Zealand's king single at 107 by 203 centimetres differs from Singapore's super single at 107 by 190 centimetres in length. The New Zealand king single is 13 centimetres longer than Singapore's super single. The width is the same at 107 centimetres.
This length difference is the same difference that exists between New Zealand queen and Singapore queen sizes, reflecting New Zealand's consistent use of 203-centimetre lengths across its standard sizes.
Practical Implications
For a standard single mattress, the one-centimetre width difference between New Zealand and Singapore sizing has no practical effect. A Singapore single mattress works in a New Zealand single frame and vice versa.
For the wider single option, a New Zealand king single frame designed for a 203-centimetre mattress will have a 13-centimetre gap at the foot when a Singapore 190-centimetre super single mattress is used. If you have a New Zealand king single frame in Singapore, sourcing a mattress in 107 by 203 centimetre dimensions, or considering a frame replacement, are the practical options.
For bedding, New Zealand single sheets fit Singapore single mattresses well given the minimal size difference. New Zealand king single sheets at 203 centimetres long will be loose at the foot on a 190-centimetre Singapore super single.
Finding the Right Mattress in Singapore
For most households in Singapore, the standard 91 by 190 centimetre single and the 107 by 190 centimetre super single are the relevant sizes and are widely available from local retailers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a New Zealand single mattress the same size as a Singapore single?
Almost identical. NZ single is 92 by 190 cm, Singapore single is 91 by 190 cm. The one-centimetre width difference is within normal tolerance and has no practical effect on compatibility.
What is the New Zealand king single size in cm?
107 cm wide by 203 cm long. This compares to Singapore's super single at 107 by 190 cm. The width is the same; NZ king single is 13 cm longer.
Will a Singapore super single mattress fit a New Zealand king single frame?
Not precisely. A NZ king single frame is designed for a 203-centimetre mattress. A Singapore super single at 190 centimetres will leave a 13-centimetre gap at the foot of the frame.
Can I use New Zealand single bedding on a Singapore single mattress?
Yes, with minimal difference. The one-centimetre width difference has no practical effect. New Zealand king single sheets at 203 centimetres long will be slightly loose on a Singapore super single mattress at 190 centimetres.
Where can I find a 107 by 203 cm mattress in Singapore if I have a NZ king single frame?
This is a non-standard size in Singapore. Some retailers may be able to supply it to order. Contact retailers directly, specifying the exact centimetre dimensions required.
Is a NZ standard single the same length as a Singapore standard single?
Yes. Both are 190 centimetres long. The width difference of one centimetre is negligible in practice.
