The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Bed Size, From Single to Super King, so You Can Find the Perfect Fit for Your Space

A bedroom with wooden panelling, parquet flooring, and a king size bed.

There's no space quite like our own bed. As the place we retreat to for comfort after a long day, there’s no room for compromise when it comes to creating your sleep sanctuary — and yet, space isn’t always on our side. So, how do you choose the right bed size for your room?

Of course, there’s practicality to consider. If you share a bed, a single-sized mattress isn’t going to cut it, but that’s not the only factor at play. A bed should always feel proportional to the room — a single bed tucked into the corner of an expansive space, for example, will always look slightly off-kilter. You should also consider your sleep style — whether you like to stretch out, move around, or cocoon yourself in a cozy corner — your bed size should work with the way you rest. The bottom line? Bed size matters more than you think.
