A king single bed solves a specific problem: a single is too narrow once a child hits their teens, but a double won't fit a smaller bedroom. At 107cm wide and 203cm long, a king single gives a growing kid or a guest room occupant proper space without taking over the room. We stock 86 king single frames — timber, metal, upholstered, storage and trundle styles — from around $85, with most sitting between $120 and $200. Stock is held across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, so orders dispatch within 1-2 business days.
What size is a king single bed?
A king single bed measures 107cm wide by 203cm long. It is the same length as a king bed but far narrower — the extra 15cm of width over a standard single (92cm) is the practical difference, and the 203cm length suits taller teenagers who outgrow a 188cm single. Allow at least 80cm of clearance on the sides you need to walk or open drawers, and measure doorway and hallway widths before ordering.
Is a king single the same as a king bed?
No — and this is the single most common ordering mistake. A king single is 107cm wide. A king bed is 183cm wide. The word "king" only refers to the length: a king single is longer than a standard single, not wider in the way a king bed is. Buyers regularly order a king mattress for a king single frame, or the reverse, and end up with a mattress that overhangs by 76cm or leaves a large gap. When you buy the mattress, match it to the frame size printed on the product page, not to the name alone.
What types of king single bed frames are there?
King single frames come in five main styles, and the right one depends on the room and who sleeps in it. Timber frames are the most affordable and suit most kids' and guest rooms, starting around $85. Metal frames are light and easy to move, which helps in rooms that get rearranged often. Upholstered frames have a padded headboard that is more comfortable to lean against for reading. Storage frames add drawers or a gas-lift base — useful in a small bedroom with no wardrobe space. Trundle frames include a second pull-out bed underneath, which is a practical choice for sleepovers without giving up floor space to a permanent second bed. Loft-style king single frames raise the bed and free the space below for a desk.
Quick buyer's checklist
-
Measure first: Check room dimensions and doorway widths before ordering
-
Mattress size: Confirm the mattress is king single (107 x 203cm), not king or standard single
-
Assembly time: Budget 30–60 minutes with basic tools
-
Weight capacity: Check product specs if an adult will use the bed long term
-
Storage needs: Drawer or gas-lift bases save space in rooms without a wardrobe
-
Flat-pack delivery: All frames ship boxed and fit through 80cm doorways
Are king single beds good for kids and teenagers?
Yes — a king single is the bed most Australian families move a child into once they outgrow a single, and it usually lasts them into adulthood. The 203cm length is the reason: a standard single is only 188cm long, which a tall teenager runs out of, while a king single matches the length of a king bed. It also fits a typical kids' or teen bedroom far more comfortably than a double (138cm wide) does. Storage and trundle versions add the most value in a child's room — drawers handle bedding and clothes, and a trundle covers sleepovers.
How much does a king single bed cost in Australia?
King single bed frames at Simple Deals start from around $85 for basic metal frames and timber platforms. Most mid-range timber and metal frames sit between $120 and $200, and storage or upholstered styles run higher. That is frame only — a king single mattress is a separate purchase. All frames dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most furniture sites won't admit
Almost every king single bed sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam, Malaysia or Indonesia — including ours. Where a frame is made is not the real difference between online furniture retailers. What matters is what happens after the stock lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from an overseas container, which is why their "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there — the same imported frame, dispatched in 1–2 business days instead of weeks.
Frequently asked questions
What if my king single bed arrives damaged?
Contact us within 7 days with photos. We will arrange a replacement or refund under the 12-month warranty. Transit damage is uncommon with flat-pack frames, and we work to resolve any claim quickly.
Will a king single frame fit through a standard doorway?
Yes. King single frames ship flat-packed in boxes that fit through an 80cm doorway. You assemble the frame in the bedroom, so the assembled width is not a problem.
How long does delivery take?
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane: 3–5 business days. Perth and Adelaide: 5–8 days. Regional and remote areas: 7–14 days.
Can I pay with Afterpay, Zip or PayPal?
Yes, all three. A $200 king single bed works out to four payments of $50 with Afterpay, four payments of $50 with PayPal Pay in 4, or roughly $17 a month with Zip over 12 months. Klarna is also available.
What's the warranty?
12 months on manufacturing defects, plus 15-day returns on unassembled frames in original packaging.
Complete your bedroom
A king single frame needs a few things to finish the room. Most buyers add three at the same time: a king single mattress sized to match the frame, a headboard for wall protection and a finished look, and bedside tables for a lamp, phone and books.
