1. Single Bed (3ft x 6.3ft / 90cm x 190cm)

The Single bed is the smallest standard size available in Malaysia. Ideal for children, teenagers, or single adults who are limited on space, the Single bed offers just enough room for one person to sleep comfortably. It’s a popular choice for guest rooms and smaller bedrooms.

2. Super Single Bed (3.5ft x 6.3ft / 107cm x 190cm)

The Super Single bed is slightly larger than the Single bed, providing extra width without taking up too much additional space. This size is perfect for those who find a Single bed too narrow but don't have the room for a larger bed. It’s a common choice for teenagers and single adults who prefer a bit more sleeping space.

3. Queen Size Bed (5ft x 6.3ft / 152cm x 190cm)

The Queen size bed is one of the most popular choices among couples in Malaysia. It offers ample space for two adults to sleep comfortably without taking up too much space in the bedroom. The Queen size is also a great option for single sleepers who enjoy having extra space to stretch out.

6. California Queen (5ft x 6.6ft / 150cm x 200cm) or California King Size Bed (6ft x 6.6ft / 180cm x 200cm) 

The California bed sizes are 200cm long, offering a bit more legroom than the standard Malaysia bed size. The additional length in California size makes them more suitable for taller individuals, without having their feet dangling out of the bed. Generally, a standard Malaysia sized mattress would fit in to a California size bed frame with a 10cm gap in length. 

California bed sizes are becoming more widely available in Malaysia to accomodate the increased demand. Mumu Living offers a variety of designer bed frames in California size. IKEA bed sizes are also made in California to accomodate for European preference.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Bed Size

  • Room Size: Measure your room before choosing a bed. Ensure there’s enough space not just for the bed but also for movement and other furniture.
  • Sleeping Habits: Consider your or your partner’s sleeping habits. If you toss and turn frequently, a larger bed might be more comfortable.
  • Height: Consider your or your partner’s height. If you or your partner is taller than an average Malaysian, a California bed size might be more suitable and comfortable. 
  • Future Needs: Think ahead about your needs. If you’re planning on sharing the bed with a partner, opting for a Queen or King size might be wise.

Whether you’re outfitting a child’s room, a guest room, or your own bedroom, understanding the different bed sizes available in Malaysia will help you find the perfect fit. Consider the space you have, your personal comfort, and any future changes to your sleeping arrangements before making a decision.
