10 signs that you have chosen the right mattress size

A complete list of sizes can be found in our catalog.

It's good that you asked this question in advance. Because, no matter how high-quality the mattress is, if you make a mistake with the size by even 5 centimeters, it will cause a lot of inconvenience. A mattress that is too large or small will not provide the necessary comfort.

Before choosing a specific model, it is important to find out what sizes mattresses come in. You need to measure the length and width of the bed or sofa in advance with a tape measure.

Mattress width

All models can be divided into 3 classes: single, single and double.

  • On single beds
    (80x190, 80x200, 90x190, 90x200 cm) and
    single beds
    (120x190, 120x200 cm) only one person can comfortably lie. Of course, you can fit two people in a one-and-a-half-bed room, but it will be a bit cramped. Which option should I choose for one? If you like more spacious beds, and the size of the bedroom allows you to place a large bed, take the one-and-a-half-size option;
  • On double beds
    (140x190/200, 160x190/200, 180x190/200, 200x190/200 cm) it will be comfortable for both spouses. The minimum width is 140 cm, the optimal width is 160 cm. Widths of 180 and 200 cm are already family size beds, an excellent option for couples with small children.

Single sizes

For an average person with an average build, it is quite comfortable to sleep on a bed with a width of 80-90 cm and a length of 180 to 200 (for children and teenagers, you can lower the bar and choose a base with a parameter of 170-175). Such models are chosen for arranging small bedrooms, hospitals, guest houses, hostels, hotels and other public institutions where overnight accommodations are provided. The size of a single mattress is selected individually from the standard size range - 80×190, 80×195, 80×200, 90×190, 90×195 and 90×200 .

Size 80x200

A 1-bed mattress is suitable for tall people with a thin or average build who feel comfortable on a narrow bed or do not have the opportunity to place larger furniture in the room. Toppers are suitable for enhancing the anatomical properties of folding sofas or other furniture with a folding mechanism, and taller designs are suitable for equipping low single or bunk beds.

Size 90x200

The expanded surface of a single bed will certainly appeal to people who tend to frequently change their sleeping position or those who are overweight. An additional 10 cm makes it possible to compensate for the lack of space and provide a comfortable long-term pastime for patients in the post-rehabilitation period or for disabled people confined to bed. The most popular are relatively lightweight double-sided structures with different side hardnesses for use in different seasons.

Mattress height

Mattress heights come in a wide variety of sizes. This depends on whether the mattress is spring or springless.

  • The standard height of springless mattresses is 5-15 cm;
  • The standard height of spring mattresses is 20-30 cm.

But in addition to standard sizes of mattresses, you can find a wide variety of options: from thin mattress toppers of 2-3 centimeters, for example, Promtex-Orient Latex 3, to tall rolled models, for example: Promtex-Orient Roll Standart 14 Latex Memory.

The selection rule here is this: the height of the mattress should be greater than the internal height of the side of the bed.

Non-standard mattress sizes

Modern design involves the use of furniture with an intricate configuration (for example, a figured bed, a podium or a sofa with a round, oval or diamond-shaped base). It is not uncommon for clients to order a bed in the shape of a car, heart or other exclusive shape. Despite their low practicality, round mattresses are increasingly taking the lead in design projects. Such bases are conventionally divided into 3 categories with different diameters:

  • Small (200-210).
  • Medium (up to 220).
  • Large (up to 240).

Finding standard sizes of mattresses for beds with an original design is not easy, so it is better to order the production of a unique configuration at the factory. Additional payment for changing classic parameters can range from 5 to 15% of the regular price. The cost depends on the filler and the complexity of the model.

Children's mattresses

The standard and most common size of a children's mattress is 60x120 cm. There are other options, for example, 70x140, 80x160 cm and so on.

You need to choose according to the child’s height, so that the mattress is at least 15 cm “higher” or take a mattress “for growth.” And, of course, the mattress should always fit the size of the existing crib.

Children's mattresses are thinner than adults - from 6 to 12 cm. Remember: for children it is recommended to choose springless models with hard filling, for example: Promtex-Orient Biba Bikombi Hard.

How to choose a size?

First of all, it is worth determining what type of bed the dimensions are. Knowing what sizes of mattresses there are specifically for this type of furniture, you can easily choose a sleeping accessory that is suitable not only in design, but also in price.

Single mattress sizes

The width of mattresses for single beds is 70-90 cm, the length is 180-200 cm. These parameters are also suitable for arranging a teenage bed. As for sofa products, with the same length their width varies in the range of 75-95 cm.

Double mattress sizes

For a double bed, models with a width of 160-200 cm and a length of 190-200 cm are purchased, while the bedding for the sofa has the same parameters. In the catalogs of foreign manufacturers you can also see mattresses of larger sizes - up to 210 in width and 240 in length.

Round mattress sizes

When round beds became a fashion trend, there was a need to produce mattresses specifically for them. Today, well-known brands produce round bedding of various diameters: small - 120-200 cm, medium - 220-230 cm and large - from 230 cm.

Sizes of children's mattresses

When choosing bedding for a child, it is important to focus not only on the cost, but also on what sizes of mattresses are suitable for children, depending on the age and dimensions of the bed. As a rule, the choice is made based on the following criteria:

  • From birth to 3 years
    . Standard sizes of a children's mattress are 60x120, 60x130 and 60x140 cm. Manufacturers can also offer non-standard options - 50x130, 50x125, as well as oval and round-shaped products for cradles and cradles.
  • 3-7 years
    . Beds for preschool children are slightly larger in size - products measuring 70x140cm most often become the optimal solution.
  • 7-12 years old
    . For a schoolchild's bed, mattresses with a width of 70 cm are usually chosen, while the length can be 140-180 cm.
  • from 12 years old.
    Teenage beds often correspond in size to adult single beds - so the most popular sizes are 90x180 and 90x190 cm.

As for designer beds, they often differ in sizes that are far from standard. The best solution in this case would be to order a mattress from a factory according to individual parameters - today most manufacturers provide this service.

There can be no compromises in choosing the size of a mattress - only the exact matching of the bedding to the dimensions of the bed will ensure complete rest and high quality sleep. A wide range of stores makes it easy to find an option with the desired parameters, and the ability to order products from manufacturers is even available online.

How to choose the right mattress

There are more than 300 models of mattresses, which means it is possible to find the required option in terms of size and quality of filling.

When selecting, the following parameters are taken into account:

  • the weight and height of the sleeping person, are there any problems with the musculoskeletal system;
  • if you already have a bed, but you plan to simply change the mattress, to a new one or of a different quality, then you need to measure the dimensions of the bed along the inside of the bed;
  • the last indicator is the cost, which depends on the manufacturer’s brand and the materials used.

It should be remembered that the cost of a Western brand product depends on the value of the currency on the market, including taxes and cross-border delivery.

What you need to know about sizes

An important point to understand: the size of the mattress should not be slightly wider, narrower, or shorter or longer than the bed. It must exactly match the bed data. Otherwise, if the product is larger than the bed, it will bulge or bunch up; if it is smaller, it will poke around the sleeping area during sleep. As a result, you will wake up in the morning, at best, not getting enough sleep, at worst, feeling unwell, with a headache and aching muscles. So approach this issue with all responsibility.

Please note that in the countries of America and Europe they have different measurements, for example, in France and Italy they measure in centimeters, in the USA in inches. Hence the conclusion: it is advisable to buy a bed and immediately select a mattress of the same size, in centimeters or inches, ideally from the same manufacturer.

Otherwise, the difference will be several cm. If you purchase a product 80 dm and a width of 78 dm, we convert it to centimeters, and we get the dimensions of the orthopedic mattress 203.2 / 198.1 cm. A bed made in Russia will have a length of 2 meters, but different width.

What are the height and rigidity parameters?

Models of double mattresses can have a wide variety of heights (from thin 15 cm to elite 25 cm). The most important factor determining the height of a mattress is the filler and the presence of springs:

  • Mattresses without springs, as a rule, have a height of 15 to 18 cm (depending on the filler);
  • Models with built-in springs can be from 18 to 25 cm (in addition to the filler, the springs themselves also affect the height).

As for rigidity, there are already three groups:

  • Soft models (available for people over 47 years of age who do not have diseases of the spine or joints. In this case, the weight of one sleeper should not exceed 60 kg);
  • Models of medium hardness (suitable for people aged 25-47 years, weighing from 60 to 90 kg);
  • Hard mattresses (also suitable for people aged 25-47 years, weighing more than 90 kg, and also for people with any problems with the spine).

Replacing the mattress

A high-quality product can last from 8 to 10 years, a budget option - from 3 to 5 years. The data is approximate, since in each specific case various factors play a determining role.

There are several signs that it is time to part with a worn-out product:

  • springs began to be felt;
  • the surface is deformed;
  • the coating has become excessively soft or hard;
  • abrasions have formed;
  • there was a crackling, creaking, grinding sound.

Proper use of the surface can significantly increase the service life. It is necessary to turn the product over once every two or three weeks immediately after purchase in order to stabilize it by changing not only the “top-bottom” position, but also the “head-to-foot” position.

If there is a large difference in the weight of the spouses, you should choose a product with a combination of two zones of different hardness. This will prevent the lighter partner from rolling into the depression formed by the heavier one.

Product weight

The weight of the mattress itself depends on the type of internal filling and the dimensions of the product. A spring block has a weight per square meter from 10 to 13 kg, a springless one - 15-18. The weight of the product does not affect the service life of the bed, but is a significant parameter during transportation. The height of the product does not affect the level of anatomical characteristics, but the variants of their manifestations, but if the budget allows, it is better to purchase the plumpest option. The higher the mattress, the more different layers of filler it contains, and this makes the product more comfortable and increases its orthopedic properties.

Mattresses for individual orders

Most often, buyers select a sleeping bed for a specific place in the room. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the author’s design idea and the characteristics of the body of a particular user. Standard models cannot always satisfy all the needs of discerning customers. They may not be suitable for the following reasons:

  • does not match the size of the bed from the European manufacturer. Due to mismatched markings, certain problems may arise;
  • You need a product that will fit a bed with an exclusive, fantasy shape. This option can only be made to order;
  • A product is required for a person with non-standard height or weight. Mass production can offer models that do not exceed 200 cm. If a person’s height is 2 m or higher, it will not be possible to provide the difference between his height and the length of the sleeping bed necessary for comfortable sleep. A similar problem exists with the selection of models for people of corpulent build. This requires a reinforced structure and an increase in the number of layers in the structure of the product.

If you can’t find the best option in stores, contact a local company that specializes in custom manufacturing of products.

Tips and tricks for choosing mattresses

The most important criterion when choosing a particular model is its convenience. For a long time it was believed that hard options should be preferred. However, it is much more beneficial to sleep on surfaces that can adjust to the weight of each part of the body. Experts recommend basing your choice on your own feelings and financial capabilities.

Products must be accompanied by certificates of quality.

How to determine the correct size for your bed

Before you go for the desired model, you need to take measurements of the inside of the bed. Be sure to measure its length and width. Using standard tables you can find the desired design; a deviation of 1 cm is allowed, no more.

Please note that if it's time to buy a new mattress, do not rush to measure the old one. It could become deformed during use. Measure the inside of the bed, so you definitely won’t make a mistake when choosing. If the received sizes cannot be found in the list that match the standard measurements, then it will be possible to make an individual order.

Length

Common models have a length of 200 cm, they are also called universal. If the tallest person in the house is less than 175 cm, then you can purchase a product with a length of 190-195 cm. The standard size of a bed mattress is available in a length of 190-200 cm

Advice: when choosing such a product, add 15 cm to the owner’s height. Get the desired length of the bed.

Width

On a bed where the mattress width is 80-90 cm there is not enough space for a good night's sleep, one-and-a-half models are more spacious. Although it all depends on the size of the person, it will be more convenient on one and a half.

It is important to choose the right mattress according to the size of the bed.

Double designs 140 -160 cm, 180-200 cm are suitable for a married couple with a baby who is used to sleeping with their parents.

Height

The thickness of such a product should preferably be higher than the bed frame. For obese people, the advice is to choose tall models.

The height of the structure depends on the filler:

  • Spring sizes of mattresses, their standard height is 20-22 cm, there are options from 18 to 32 cm. Elite products reach 50 cm in thickness.
  • Springless ones reach 16 cm in height
  • Toppers, products with a height of 2 to 10 cm, they are used as an additional covering. For example, if the sofa is old and sagging, you can lay such a product on top. It can also be laid on folding beds and armchairs. A good option if the surface is very hard, this model will be a good addition.

Mattresses are:

  • Thin, 11-15 cm thick, suitable for people weighing no more than 60 kg, convenient because they can be easily rolled up. Especially if frequent moves are expected.
  • Medium, springless 10-15 cm, with springs 15-30 cm.
  • Tall, suitable for people weighing more than 170 kg.

The higher the structure, the more layers of filling, the greater the weight resistance. This product will be more wear-resistant. Although the quality of the manufacturer also plays an important role.

Features of orthopedic mattresses

The orthopedic options are filled with independent springs, each of which is placed in a separate case. Thanks to this, the structural elements do not affect each other. Springless products with high orthopedic properties are made on the basis of natural latex, coconut coir, and foam rubber.

Orthopedic mattresses must be placed on a hard, smooth surface or a base specially designed for them, which has a curved shape.

You can extend the life of your mattress by turning it over to the other side every six months.
