How big is a "semi-double" bed in Japan?

Semi-double is 120cm width, while double is 140cm, single is 100cm, and semi-single, which you rarely see is 80cm.

I don’t know what @JSLavertu took the figure from, but usually the size of semi-double is 120cm, not 120cm to 140cm.

Although some people might sleep together, I don’t recommend it. Especially if both are men, it is highly uncomfortable. Semi-double is created for those who want more space than single, and thus is suitable for only one person.

These pages are written in Japanese, but from a bed speciality store, which states that “semi-double is a size of 120cm width:

A Semi-double bed is around 120 to 140cm (47 to 55in), depending on the hotel.

As for it being suitable for two people, that depends on how close you are:

I shared a semi-double bed at Mystays Asakusa-Bashi with a friend. If it hadn’t been my long time friend, I would have been very uncomfortable as you WILL end up touching/brushing the other person while sleeping, even if you don’t move much.

Here’s an image of such a bed in Asakusa-Bashi. The size here is 120cm.

If it’s your significant other, you should be fine.
