The grow-into bed that works harder. A king single bed with storage gives a teen or single adult proper length — 16 cm longer than a standard single — while drawers or a gas-lift base swallow uniforms, sports gear, linen and seasonal bedding. Space-smart for teen rooms, studios, granny flats and guest rooms, in timber, upholstered fabric and PU leather finishes. Part of our wider storage bed frames range, family-owned, priced direct and held in stock locally.

The Bed That Grows With Your Teen — and Earns Its Place in a Small Home
A king single sits at a thoughtful in-between — longer and wider than a standard single, but far more room-friendly than a double. For Australian families, it's the bed a child can move into around age ten and still be comfortable in through university. For single adults in apartments, studios and granny flats, it delivers proper adult-length sleep without dominating the room. Add storage to the base and the frame starts pulling double duty — our range covers timber, upholstered fabric and PU leather finishes, with both drawer and gas-lift mechanisms, every frame sized for a standard Australian king single mattress (106 × 203 cm).
Drawers or Gas Lift: Which King Single Suits You?
Both storage styles have a place — the right one depends on what you're storing and how often you reach for it. A teen with school uniforms and sports gear benefits from drawers; a single adult with seasonal bedding benefits from gas lift:
King Single Dimensions & Room Planning
A standard Australian king single mattress measures 106 × 203 cm — 14 cm wider and 16 cm longer than a standard single (92 × 187 cm), which makes a real difference for taller teens and adults, while staying far more compact than a double (137 × 187 cm). The frame sits slightly larger than the mattress to accommodate the headboard and drawer runners, so check the listed external dimensions, and allow about 60 cm of side clearance for pull-out drawers.

How to Choose the Right King Single Storage Bed
Start with who's sleeping in it
For a child between ten and the early teens, a king single is the long-term upgrade — they'll stay in it through high school and often into their early twenties. For a teenager over 180 cm, the extra length matters more than drawer count. For an adult in a studio or granny flat, a gas-lift king single unlocks serious hidden volume without adding a dresser or tallboy.
Choose a material that suits the room
Timber frames feel warm and structural and handle teenage wear well — explore the full wooden bed frames range. Upholstered fabric feels softer and more refined, suiting adult bedrooms and guest spaces. PU leather wipes clean in seconds and brings a contemporary finish — see our PU leather bed frames. Prefer a coordinated look? Our king single bedroom suites pair the bed with matching storage pieces.
Match your mattress carefully
For gas-lift bases the mattress often sits flush with the frame edge, so depth and weight matter — gas struts are rated for a mattress weight range, and a very heavy mattress can make the lift feel stiff; check the recommendation on each product page. For drawer bases, any standard king single mattress fits without fuss. Buying both together? Browse our king single mattresses and confirm compatibility before checkout.
Plan delivery and assembly
Storage frames arrive flat-packed with instructions and fixings included; gas-lift designs take a little longer to assemble due to the hydraulic pistons. See our delivery & pickup page, or contact our team for tailored advice.

King Single Beds with Storage — FAQs
What size is a king single bed with storage in Australia?
A standard Australian king single fits a mattress measuring 106 × 203 cm — 14 cm wider and 16 cm longer than a standard single. External frame dimensions are slightly larger to accommodate the headboard, footboard and drawer runners, so always check the listed external dimensions on the product page before buying.
Is a king single bed with drawers better than a gas-lift king single?
Neither is objectively better — they solve different problems. Drawers suit items you reach for daily (clothing, books, school gear); a gas-lift base suits bulky or seasonal items (spare doonas, winter bedding, suitcases) because it gives you one large hidden cavity. If you're buying for a teen, drawers are usually more practical.
Is a king single big enough for an adult?
Yes. At 106 × 203 cm, a king single comfortably sleeps a single adult up to around 195 cm tall. It's a popular choice for apartments, studios, granny flats and share houses where a double or queen would feel oversized — many adults stay in a king single well into their twenties and beyond.
How much clearance do I need around a king single storage bed?
For drawer beds, allow at least 60 cm of side clearance so drawers pull fully out. Gas-lift beds don't need side clearance, but do need clear space above the bed for the base to lift cleanly — and the bed surface should be reasonably clear before lifting.
What weight does a king single storage bed support?
Most quality king single storage frames comfortably support well above typical sleeper weight when the slats are evenly spaced and the frame is correctly assembled. Exact capacity varies by model and is listed on each product page — always follow the manufacturer's guidance.
Do you stock king single trundle beds?
We carry a small trundle range — currently a single design — so availability varies. Contact our team to check current stock; for most rooms, a drawer or gas-lift king single covers the same space-saving job with storage built in.
Do king single storage beds come with a warranty?
Yes — our bed frames carry a 12-month warranty unless otherwise specified on the product page, covering structural and manufacturing defects. Full details are on our warranty & returns page.
