A single mattress in New Zealand measures 91 x 191 cm. It suits children, small bedrooms and spare rooms, and it is the most affordable way to get a proper bed. Single mattresses at Cambridge Beds & Furniture start from $249, with single mattress and base sets from $499. Come and try them at our showroom in Morrinsville.
What age is a single bed good for?
Most children move into a single bed somewhere between two and four years old, and a single will usually last them until their early teens. As a rough guide, a single stops being comfortable once someone is taller than about 185 cm, or simply wants more room to move. At that point a king single (105 x 202 cm) is the natural next step.
What is the best mattress for a child?
Children don't need the most expensive mattress in the shop, but they do need proper support while they're growing. Things to look for:
- Medium to medium-firm feel, so the spine stays in line
- Pocket springs or good-quality Bonnell springs rather than thin foam
- A mattress protector from day one, to deal with spills and accidents (see our bedding range)
In our range, the SleepTime Kyro Bonnell is a budget-friendly pick for kids' rooms, while SleepTime Medium and the Dreamland Lunar Range are good step-ups that will last longer.

A first single bed for your child
