Find the Right Single Bed for Your Room
A single bed is a practical choice when you want a comfortable sleeping space without using more floor area than necessary. It can work equally well in a child’s bedroom, teenager’s room, guest room or compact adult bedroom.
The Mimo single beds collection includes designs for different interiors and everyday needs. Whether you prefer a simple bed frame, an upholstered finish or a model with useful storage, begin by measuring the room and checking the specifications of each bed.
What Size Is a Single Bed?
A standard single bed in Ireland is commonly referred to as a 3ft bed. However, the precise mattress dimensions can vary between Irish, UK and European-style frames.
Common sizes include approximately:
-
90 × 190 cm
-
90 × 200 cm
These measurements describe the mattress area, not necessarily the complete bed. Headboards, side rails and footboards can make the overall frame noticeably wider or longer.
Always check the dimensions shown on the individual product page before ordering. You should also confirm the required mattress size rather than assuming that every single bed uses the same one.
Measuring for a Single Bed
Measure the room at floor level and note the location of doors, wardrobes, radiators, sockets and skirting boards. Make sure the bedroom door and nearby furniture can still open properly once the bed is in position.
Remember to check:
-
The bed’s complete width, length and height
-
The required mattress dimensions
-
Clearance around drawers or lifting mechanisms
-
Space at the side of the bed
-
Access for delivery and assembly
-
The height of the headboard beneath sloping ceilings or windows
You can mark the bed’s outline on the floor with masking tape. This provides a clearer idea of how it will fit and how much walking space will remain.
Single Bed Frames
A single bed frame provides a permanent sleeping area while leaving more of the bedroom available for storage, a desk or other furniture. Its smaller footprint makes it a useful choice for rooms where space needs to be planned carefully.
Bed frames are available in different materials, colours and styles. A straightforward design can sit comfortably in almost any bedroom, while a detailed headboard or upholstered finish can make the bed a stronger focal point.
Before buying, check what comes with the frame. Depending on the product, the bed base, slats, mattress or other parts may be included or may need to be purchased separately.
Upholstered Single Beds
An upholstered single bed introduces a softer look and can make the bedroom feel warmer and more comfortable. Fabric-covered frames are available in a range of colours and textures, making them easy to coordinate with existing bedding and décor.
A padded headboard can provide support when sitting up to read or watch television. Check the headboard height if the bed will sit beneath a window, shelf or sloping ceiling.
Fabric beds benefit from regular light vacuuming with a suitable upholstery attachment. Follow the product’s care instructions when treating marks or spills.
Wooden and Metal Single Beds
Wooden and wood-effect single beds suit a wide range of bedroom styles. Lighter finishes can help a small room feel brighter, while darker tones create a more traditional appearance.
Metal single bed frames often have a lighter visual profile, which can help the room feel less crowded. Depending on the design, they can suit modern, traditional or industrial-style interiors.
The best choice comes down to the look you prefer, the available space and the amount of maintenance you are comfortable with.
Single Beds with Storage
A single bed with storage makes use of space that might otherwise be wasted. It can provide a convenient place for spare bedding, seasonal clothing, shoes or other bedroom essentials.
Different storage designs suit different layouts:
Single Beds with Drawers
Under-bed drawers are easy to access and help keep belongings separated. They need clear floor space beside the bed, so check the drawer-opening direction and depth before ordering.
A drawer bed may not be suitable if one side will sit directly against a wall or wardrobe.
Ottoman Single Beds
An ottoman bed generally lifts to reveal a larger storage compartment beneath the mattress. This can be helpful in a small bedroom where there is not enough room to pull out side drawers.
Check which direction the frame opens and make sure there is enough clearance above and around it. Always follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the bed.
Single Beds with Open Shelving
Some single beds include shelves or open compartments in the frame or headboard. These can keep books, an alarm clock or smaller items close by without requiring another bedside table.
Avoid placing heavy or unstable objects above the sleeping area, especially in a child’s bedroom.
Single Beds for Children and Teenagers
A 3ft single bed can take a child from their early years into their teens, provided the bed and mattress are suitable for their age and needs.
For a child’s room, consider how easy the bed is to get in and out of, whether the edges are comfortable to move around and how much space remains for play or study. Storage drawers can be useful for toys, clothes and spare bedding.
Novelty designs may suit a younger child, while a simpler frame can adapt more easily as tastes change. Always review the product’s age guidance and safety information before purchasing.
Single Beds for Adults and Guest Rooms
Single beds are not only for children. They can provide a comfortable permanent bed for one adult or a practical solution for an occasional guest room.
If the bed will be used regularly by an adult, pay close attention to its dimensions, construction and maximum supported weight. Choose a mattress suited to the sleeper rather than relying on the bed frame alone for comfort.
In a multipurpose guest room, a bed with storage can reduce the need for additional cabinets. A simple design may also be easier to coordinate if the room doubles as an office or hobby space.
Choosing a Mattress for a Single Bed
The mattress must match the dimensions supported by the frame. A 90 × 190 cm mattress should not automatically be used with a bed designed for a 90 × 200 cm mattress, even though both may be described as single beds.
Comfort is personal. Consider the sleeper’s preferred firmness, usual sleeping position and any individual support requirements. Mattress depth may also affect how high the sleeping surface sits against the headboard.
Check whether a mattress is included with the bed. If it is sold separately, the product description should specify the correct size.
Does the Bed Base Come Included?
Some single beds include slats or another form of bed base, while others may require these parts to be ordered separately. There is no universal rule, so read the “what’s included” information on the individual product page.
If you already own a mattress, confirm that it is compatible with both the frame dimensions and the type of base supplied.
Choosing a Colour and Style
A single bed occupies a significant part of the room, even when its footprint is compact. Choose a colour and finish that will work with the bedroom for more than one season.
Neutral shades are easy to coordinate with changing bedding and wall colours. Darker shades add contrast, while softer colours can create a calmer look. Wood tones introduce warmth and work well with both plain and patterned textiles.
The furniture does not need to match exactly. Repeating one colour, material or shape elsewhere in the room can make the overall design feel connected.

Single Beds FAQs
What is the standard size of a single bed in Ireland?
A standard single bed is often called a 3ft bed and commonly uses a mattress around 90 × 190 cm. Some frames are designed for a 90 × 200 cm mattress, so always check the exact product specifications.
Is a mattress included with a single bed?
This varies by product. Some beds may include a mattress, while others are sold as a frame only. Check the individual listing to see exactly what is supplied.
Are single beds suitable for adults?
Yes, many single beds are suitable for one adult. Check the bed’s sleeping dimensions, construction and maximum supported weight to make sure it meets the user’s needs.
Which single bed is best for a small room?
A simple 3ft frame, an ottoman bed or a single bed with integrated storage can work well in a smaller room. The best option depends on the room layout and the space needed to open drawers or lift the bed.
Can I use a 90 × 190 cm mattress on a 90 × 200 cm bed?
A mattress should match the size specified for the frame. Using a shorter mattress may leave an unsafe or uncomfortable gap, so follow the manufacturer’s size requirements.
How much space should I leave around a single bed?
Leave enough room to walk beside the bed and use nearby doors, drawers and wardrobes. The precise clearance will depend on the bedroom layout and whether the bed includes storage.
