We spend more time in bedrooms than in any other room in the house. Even though we are sleeping most of that time, we end and begin our days there. An organized and well-considered space can improve your mood when you need to get to sleep, and get your day off to a good start when you wake.

Planning bedrooms starts with learning standard bed sizes, which one you prefer and which one will work in your plan. Other bedroom furniture comes in all kinds of sizes. Once you determine your room and bed dimensions, you can make good decisions about dressers, chests, benches, chairs, nightstands and so on. Cali King (203cm x 203cm) The crème de la crème, the Cali King mattress is our largest size available. As wide as it is long, it is an extravagant option for bedrooms with plenty of space. If you have the room, the Cali King bed will deliver night after night of restful, undisturbed sleep – there is no greater definition of luxury.

Super King (183cm x 203cm) Super King mattresses are a great option for when the whole house decides lazy lie-ins are better, together. If you have partners or bed guests who toss and turn frequently, it pays to have some extra space to keep you from being disturbed as often. The Super King is a faultless solution for larger rooms and indulgent sleepers – with its luxurious size creating a comfortable space for all.

King (167cm x 203cm) King size mattresses are the same length as a Queen, but with a little added width and are the ideal choice for couples who enjoy

It was a time of introspection. It made us question what we want, how we work, the way we use our home, what we want for our future. At Stonewood we used the time to learn from you. We surveyed New Zealanders to find out what they wanted in a home. We discovered the spaces that made you happy, what elements you would change, and the ones you desired in a dream home. We took this unique perspective and have created something special and exclusive to Stonewood Homes.

stretching out or have unexpected bed guests. If your budget allows, a King size mattress offers unrivalled comfort and fits neatly in most master bedrooms.

If you’re looking for an option for guest bedrooms – a King is slightly smaller than a Super King– so is a great compromise should you need to fit within room limitations but want to provide a comfortable guest solution.

Queen (153cm x 203cm) A traditional Kiwi favourite; Queen size mattresses are our most sought-after size. Popular with couples, Queen beds offer the best of both worlds – extra room to stretch out, but cosier than our King options. Additionally, the Queen is a luxurious option for growing teens and guests, and is guaranteed to last the distance. Easily accommodated by most bedrooms, the Queen is a versatile option for the master to a spacious spare bedroom.

Double (137cm x 188cm) Double mattresses are a popular choice for those who want to upgrade but are a little tight on space. Ideal for smaller rooms, student flats, sleepouts and studio apartments – the extra width is luxury for an individual and can accommodate couples too.

A viable alternative to a King Single or a Queen, Double mattresses are a comfortable option for growing teenagers or for couples staying in the spare room. King Single (107cm x 203cm) King Single mattresses are an ideal value option, offering added width and length for greater comfort. The length is the same as that of a Queen or a King, so the additional space means an adult sized person can fit if required. King Single size tends to satisfy the needs of both children and individual adults – and fit into tighter spaces too. Perfect for kids, opting for a King Single bed from the beginning means you can have confidence that there is plenty of room as your child grows.

Bunk Beds Bunk beds are generally designed for children, so the range of bunk mattress sizes is limited to the smaller end of the spectrum. A standard bunk bed will fit two twin mattresses, each measuring from 96cm to 153cm wide and 203cm long. The height required depends on the furniture you buy for them or how you configure a custom design.

Benches You might want a bench at the foot of your bed; it’s a perfect spot for putting on your shoes and socks without disturbing a freshly made bed. Benches can be just about any size as long as they fit within the width of the bed and leave enough space for someone to walk around them. Grouped upholstered cubes make a flexible bench that can be broken up and moved around the room to be used as footstools.

Dressers Dressers vary greatly in size as well, but the most important thing to consider when planning a bedroom is that there should be a wall to accommodate the bed and a wall to accommodate a dresser. You can find dressers as narrow as 90cm; however, most people want a dresser that measures 150 to 190cm. Dressers are usually about 80 to 100cm high, but some designs are higher. Having a mirror above the dresser is less common than in the past, but you might want to keep one in mind as well as you plan your room.

Chairs Small, comfortable upholstered chairs provide an added dimension to a bedroom. It is easy to overlook this element for a new bedroom scheme, but one or two chairs can be a nice retreat from the rest of the household. Allow about 90cm square in your floor plan, as well as the necessary circulation space for them.
