Difference Between Single and Super Single Bed Sheet

Most people choose their bedsheet size by measuring their mattress length, width, and depth. Once they have these measurements, they simply share them with the supplier to get the right fit. Because of this habit, we don’t always use size names like “Single” or “Super Single,” which is why many shoppers get confused about the difference between single and super single bed sheet options.

Both sizes are also very popular, especially for kids’ rooms, guest rooms, and smaller bedrooms. Since they look similar at a glance, understanding the real difference helps you choose a sheet that fits properly, stays in place through the night, and feels comfortable over time.

Key Differences Between Single vs Super Single Bed Sheets

A Single bedsheet is designed for a narrower mattress, while a Super Single bedsheet is made to fit a wider and slightly more spacious mattress. The length is usually similar, but the width differs between the two sizes.

We’ll break down these differences in more detail in the next sections.

Size

The key difference between the two sizes is the width. A Singapore Single mattress measures 91 cm × 190 cm, while a Super Single mattress measures 107 cm × 190 cm. That extra 16 cm of space might look small on paper, but you’ll definitely feel the difference when you lie down, especially if you tend to move around during sleep.

Sleeping Comfort

A single works well for calm sleepers or smaller children. A super single, however, offers more freedom to stretch and shift positions. It feels more spacious without taking up the footprint of a queen bed.

Room Fit

A single bed works fine for small bedrooms, narrow layouts, and bunk bed setups. The super single takes a bit more space but should still fit most bedrooms comfortably in Singapore; hence, this is one of the available practical upgrades as your teenager or single adult grows up.

Bedding Size & Fit

The size of the sheet should always match your mattress dimensions. A sheet that’s too small will feel overly tight, while one that’s too large may bunch up or slip off during the night. Before buying, make sure your mattress size is accurate and check the brand’s full-size chart for the best fit.

Best For

A single bed is ideal for smaller children, small rooms, or guest rooms used only occasionally. A super single bed is great for teenagers, students, and adults who desire more sleeping space without committing to a larger bed frame.

How to Choose the Right Size Bed Sheet for Your Bed

Measure Your Mattress

First, measure the length, width, and depth of your mattress. Small differences between brands can have a significant impact on how a fitted sheet fits on the corners. If you use a mattress topper, remember to include the height in your measurement.

Match the Sheet to Your Mattress Size 

After measuring your bed, choose a sheet that fits those measurements. Appropriate sizing keeps your sheet securely in place throughout the night by preventing slippage, stretching, and unpleasant bunching.

Check Mattress Depth and Pocket Height

For a fitted sheet to fit comfortably around the mattress, the pocket height must be high enough. The pocket should ideally be 5–8 cm deeper than the mattress's thickness. This is important for mattresses with toppers or that are thicker.

Consider Fabric Type and Shrinkage

Different fabrics react differently after washing, and this can affect how well your bedsheet fits over time. 

Lower-quality sheets tend to shrink more noticeably, which can make a fitted sheet feel too tight or even slip off the corners of your mattress. Higher-quality fabrics are typically woven and finished in a way that minimises shrinkage, helping the sheet maintain a good fit even after repeated washes.

If you prefer something soft, breathable, and reliable, we recommend trying TENCEL™ Lyocell bedsheets. They have excellent dimensional stability, gentle shrink resistance, and stay smooth and comfortable night after night.

At Weavve, we offer TENCEL™ bedding in both Single vs Super Single sizes, so you can find the right fit for your mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get single or super single bed sheet?

Choose your bed sheets according to your mattress size and how you like to sleep. A single sheet (91 x 190 cm) suits smaller beds. A super single bedsheet (107 x 190 cm) gives you that extra width for added comfort, perfect if you’re taller or simply enjoy a bit more space to stretch out.

Is super single worth it?

Yes, he extra width makes a difference in comfort, especially to taller sleepers or those who move around at night.

Can I use a super single bedsheet for a single bed?

It's not recommended. That sheet will be loose, bunch up easily, and won't stay anchored. Always match the sheet to your mattress size.

Can two people sleep in a super single bed?

It might fit two small children temporarily, but two adults just don't go in it comfortably or practically. A queen bed is a better option to share for sharing.

What are the pros and cons of a super single bed?

Pros:

• Offers more width than the standard single
• Comfortable for teens and adults
• Still fits well in many bedrooms

Cons:

• It takes more space than a single
• Bedding may be a bit more expensive or less common in some stores. 
  
  

What size sheets fit a super single bed? 

Use sheets designed for a standard Singapore super single mattress. Check the size guide to confirm the pocket depth is correct, so that your fitted sheet grips securely and stays smooth.

Can you safely co-sleep with twins? 

For the sake of safety, separate sleeping areas should be available for infants. Comfort and less crowding are provided with a queen bed or two beds for older kids.
