Singapore Airlines introduces largest double bed in business class as part of $2.2 billion cabin upgrade

Singapore Airlines announced that its next-generation long-haul cabins will enter service from the second half of 2027 on retrofitted Airbus A350-900 and A350-900 ultra-long-range aircraft, as well as the new Boeing 777-9 fleet. The overhaul, part of a US$2.2 billion investment, covers first, business, premium economy and economy classes.

In business class, two adjoining seats can be combined to form a double bed measuring 203 cm long by 152 cm wide, which the airline describes as the largest double bed in commercial aviation. The airline said the configuration can also be used as a two-seater sofa or as separate seats. Cabin crew will prepare the flat bed with 100 percent cotton linens, a duvet and a choice of pillows. The mattress topper, supplied by German bedding specialist Paradies, uses breathable spacer fabric to improve cushioning and temperature regulation.

First-class seats will feature a memory function that saves seat position and lighting for the next flight, an ottoman with storage, and a fully flat bed of 200 cm length. Business-class seats are advertised as “comfortable and adaptable,” offering a full-flat bed of 200 cm by up to 60 cm and electronically adjustable privacy dividers that allow passengers to choose between individual privacy or a shared space.

Premium-economy seats will have a 101 cm pitch, full-grain leather upholstery and a four-way adjustable footrest, while economy seats will include ergonomic cushioning, a four-way adjustable headrest and a 4K touchscreen with spatial audio and Bluetooth headphone pairing.

Lee Lik Hsin, chief commercial officer of Singapore Airlines, said the cabins are designed to give passengers more control over work, dining, relaxation and rest on board.
