Most makers offer their mattresses in 5 sizes which are; single, king single, double, queen, and king size. Having said that, you might find some other sizes too like for example long or king single.

The good news is that all these sizes will definitely cover your needs whether that is a mattress for your baby and child or a mattress that will accommodate a couple. However, if you feel that you need bespoke dimensions, some makers will be able to help you out. In my experience though, 99% of the population will be covered by the standard dimensions so no need to pay for a custom mattress.

Cot Mattress

A typical Australian cot mattress measures 69cm in width and 130cm in length. These are designed to fit standard cots which come in a lot of variations. For this reason, you should look carefully at your cot’s dimensions to ensure that your mattress will fit it. If you are looking to buy one, you should prepare to spend anywhere between $100-$400. A great choice is the Joey Baby mattress which is developed by the people behind Koala.

Single Mattress

The standard Australian Single mattress measures 92cm in height and 188cm in length. This is the smallest of the ‘adult’ mattresses and it’s mostly used by children and teenagers. However, that doesn’t mean that a single mattress cannot accommodate a full-grown adult. As a matter of fact, a small percentage of Aussies (5%) sleep on a single-sized mattress. On average, a single mattress will cost you between $400-$800 so they are relatively affordable. If you are in the market for one, the Koala mattress should be on your list.

Long Single Mattress

A typical Long Single mattress measures 92cm in height and 203cm in length. This makes it an ideal choice for taller teenagers or guest rooms. Additionally, if you have an adjustable bed base that splits in half, you can get two long single mattresses to create a king-size one. This is a common practice that gives couples a lot of flexibility.

Onebed is a popular maker and their Original mattress is available in a plethora of sizes including the Long Single one. On average, a mattress of this size will generally cost you anything between $500-$1000 but this is not set in stone.

King Single Mattress

A Standard King Single mattress is 107cm wide and 203cm long. That means that a King Single mattress is both wider and longer than a regular single mattress. This makes it a popular choice among teenagers and students and this is a mattress that can accommodate anyone. This size will typically cost you anything between $500 – $1000 and if you are looking for a high-quality one, the Onebed X mattress should be one to consider.

Double Mattress

A double mattress measures 138cm in width and 188cm in height. This is a popular size and according to market data, 1 in 10 Aussies prefers to sleep on a double bed. Its main benefit is its compact size that can still accommodate two adults. This size is also great for the growing bodies of teenagers and it’s not a coincidence it’s among the first choices of this age range. To get a good quality double bed, you should be prepared to spend between $800-$1500. The Origin Hybrid Pro mattress is a versatile option that presents great value for money.

Queen Mattress

An Australian queen size measures 153cm in width and 203cm in height. This is arguably the most popular size with almost half the population of Australia sleeping on a queen mattress. This mattress hits the sweet spot when it comes to sizing and it can comfortably accommodate two adults. If you decide to buy one, you should have a budget between $2,000-$3,000 but this is a size that can cover your needs for a long time. The Emma Luxe Pro mattress can be a great choice for you and this is definitely an option to consider.

King Mattress

An Australian King-size mattress measures 183cm in width and 203cm in height. This is the second most popular size in Australia and according to market data, 1 out of 5 Aussies choose to sleep on such a bed. King mattresses offer more space and they are definitely an everyday luxury. After all, it’s not a coincidence that they can be found in good hotels and villas.

A King-size mattress can easily accommodate two adults and reduce partner disturbance as every sleeper has its own space. Of course, they are not the cheapest options and if you are looking to buy one, you should be prepared to spend over $1000. The Koala Plus mattress is an excellent choice in this category that won’t disappoint you.

Super King Mattress

An Australian Super King mattress is 203cm wide and 203cm long. It’s actually a true square and it’s the most luxurious option on this list. Obviously, this is not a common size and if you opt for it, you should make sure that you have a big bedroom. It’s ideal for those who want extra space but also for people who enjoy their time in bed, watching movies with the family etc. If you decide to buy one, you should have a budget of over $1700 but also a good bed frame that can support it. The Dusk and Dawn Signature Luxe mattress is a great choice, especially for luxury seekers.
