Singapore Airlines Unveils the ‘Largest Double Bed in the Sky’ As Part of a $1.6 Billion Redesign

Getting a good night’s sleep on a long-haul flight isn’t easy, even when you’re lucky enough to be flying first class. But Singapore Airlines—consistently voted as one of the best airlines in the world by CNT readers—is taking things to a whole new level, unveiling what it claims will be “the largest double bed in commercial aviation” as part of a major revamp of its long-haul cabins.

The airline announced the $1.6 billion redesign on Friday, November 6, with the first aircraft expected to enter service in the second half of 2027.

Singapore Airlines’s new first class cabin

The biggest change is coming to first class, where passengers traveling together will be able to transform two adjoining seats into a double bed measuring 80 inches long and 60 inches wide—the same size as a standard queen bed in the US. The seats can also be converted into a two-person sofa, while curved sliding doors and retractable dividers will offer additional privacy.

And the luxury doesn’t stop there. The new suites will feature Italian Poltrona Frau leather upholstery, personal wardrobes, dedicated dining spaces, and 32-inch 4K entertainment screens. Passengers can also expect proper bedding, including cotton sheets, duvets, a choice of pillows, and mattress toppers from German bedding specialist Paradies.
