Mattress 1 bedroom size. Standard mattress sizes

Did you know that choosing the wrong mattress size is one of the most common buyer mistakes. This miscalculation is quite expensive - a significant amount of money was spent, but comfort remained only in dreams. Some new couples who dreamed of a “sleeping airport” and shelled out for a state-of-the-art mattress soon notice that for each of them there is no more space on it than for a baby in a crib. To prevent this from happening to you, you need to have a good understanding of mattress sizes.

In this article we will describe the standard classification of mattresses by size and describe useful recommendations, which will help you choose the model that is right for you.

Standard sizes of mattresses for children and adults

The standard size looks like this:

Mattresses for adults

Single mattresses

  • width 80 cm. Standard sizes: 80 x 190 cm, 80 x 195 cm, 80 x 200 cm.
  • width 90 cm. Standard sizes: 90 x 190 cm, 90 x 195 cm, 90 x 200 cm.

Single mattresses

    width 120 cm. Standard sizes: 120 x 190 cm, 120 x 195 cm, 120 x 200 cm.

Double mattresses

  • width 140 cm. Standard sizes: 140 x 190 cm, 140 x 195 cm, 140 x 200 cm.
  • width 160 cm. Standard sizes: 160x190 cm, 160 x 195 cm, 160 x 200 cm.
  • width 180 cm. Standard sizes: 180x190 cm, 180 x 195 cm, 180 x 200 cm.
  • width 190-210 cm. Standard sizes: 190-200 x 190 cm, 190-200 x 195 cm, 190-200 x 200 cm.

Round mattresses

Such products belong to the non-standard group and are intended for round decorative beds. Manufacturers usually offer round mattresses in the following diameters:

  • small: Ø 200 cm;
  • medium: Ø 220 cm;
  • large: Ø 230 cm and more.

Children's mattresses

Children's mattresses have their own range of sizes. The most common are the following: 60 x 120 cm, 60 x 140 cm, 70 x 140 cm. In our online store you can order mattresses in a fairly wide range of widths and lengths, designed for children of different ages.

If you want to arrange a sleeping bed for a teenager, you can also choose models from the product catalog for adults.

Mattress height

The height of mattresses also varies over a fairly wide range. If we talk about, then their height ranges from 20 cm. In our product catalog based on dependent and independent springs Models with heights are presented: 21 cm, 22 cm, 23 cm, 24 cm, 25 cm, 27 cm. However, in exclusive models this figure can reach 50 cm.

Due to the absence of a spring block, they are lower: from 10 cm to 25 cm. The height of the product in this case completely depends on the thickness of the layers of fillers included in its composition. The thickness of each specific model is indicated in its description.

Table of standard mattress sizes in our store

Remember the following rule: the length of the bed should exceed the height of the sleeping person by at least 15 cm. Its most optimal value for most buyers is 195-200 cm. However, when choosing the length of the bed, do not forget to also take into account the size of the free space in your room and the volume of doorways, so that the purchased “airfield” can simply be brought into your abode.

If we talk about the width of the sleeping bed, then it is best to rely on the dimensions of the sleeper and his personal preferences. Larger people need a wide bed. However, many thin vacationers will not refuse a spacious bed.

It is best to buy a bed already complete with a mattress. However, if you already have a bed and you just need to add a mattress to it, then all that remains is to correctly measure its internal space. It is advisable that the size of the mattress be a little smaller so that it can be easily removed and turned over.

If you suddenly discover that the internal space of your bed does not correspond to the standard size range on the manufacturer’s website, do not worry. In our company you can order a mattress of any size, even the most non-standard one, in increments of 5 cm and provide yourself with all the conditions for a comfortable sleep.

Now, in our time, there are many different types of mattresses, divided into several types, categories of standard sizes, etc. By size, for example, they are divided into: single, one and a half and double.

There are also separate categories that differ in:

  • orthopedic,
  • rigidity,
  • cover,
  • filler,
  • mattress pad,
  • and many others.

In this article we will look at single mattress: its sizes, fillers, as well as some tips when choosing.

When selecting, you need to consider:

  • Height;
  • Age;

There is no single, perfect, ideal mattress that would suit absolutely every person. As in choosing glasses, you need to select a mattress separately, specifically for yourself, since the structural features of the spine are different for most people.

Dimensions

Standard sizes for single mattresses include:

  • 70*190 cm,
  • 80*190 cm,
  • 80*200 cm,
  • 90*190 cm,
  • 90*200 cm.

You need to choose based on height, weight, your own preferences and age (this applies to children under 10 years old; they do not want a spring mattress).

When selecting by height, you need to take into account the mandatory margin of at least 15 cm in height. And, for example, for obese people (those with a lot of weight) they need a harder one, so as not to deform the mattress by deflection. And subsequently avoid the incorrect condition of the spine. Exactly the opposite is required for those who are fairly light in weight; they need a soft mattress to demonstrate their orthopedic properties.

A single mattress with a standard width of 90 cm is more common, but many companies often have 70 and 80 cm in their size range. When choosing an orthopedic base, it is necessary to take into account the exact parameters, otherwise it will not fit or will move freely in the bed.

The height interval ranges from 6 to 25 centimeters. The lowest ones are selected for children without springs, and the highest one, 25 cm, belongs to the “Lux” class.

What types of fillers are there?

There are quite a lot of types of mattress fillings, they are divided into natural and artificial.

Natural fillers

There are 4 types of natural fillers:

  • Latexed coconut coir;
  • Horsehair;
  • Latex;
  • Memolatex;

Latexed coconut coir is a raw material that contains coconut fiber. Its most important features are rigidity, durability and elasticity. Thanks to these important properties, this material has an important orthopedic function.
Horse hair is also considered an environmentally friendly filler (made only from the hair of specialized breeds of horses).

It is quite popular everywhere and, in particular, is used for the production of luxury mattresses. It is subjected to a high degree of purification, then compressed, resulting in a fairly elastic material that has increased rigidity and is resistant to wear. It has similar features as in the first example, it differs only in greater elasticity.

The next example related to natural fillers is latex. It is made from the sap of the rubber tree. The features of this material are considered to be plasticity, reliability and comfort., however, like the first two species. It has the ability to instantly restore its original appearance, even under high pressure.

Memolatex is produced on the basis of ordinary latex, while having the property of repeating all the curves of our body. It is very sensitive to temperature and load on the base of the mattress, adapting to the relief along the entire length of human height. Due to this, complete relaxation is achieved, bypassing all kinds of muscle tension and stress on the blood vessels.


Artificial fillers

There are 3 types of artificial fillers:

  1. Ormafoam;
  2. Memorix;
  3. Hallcon;

One of these fillers is Ormafoam, which is also considered a harmless and non-allergenic material. Possessing a porous composition, it allows free circulation of air from inside the mattress, which, in turn, allows you not to exceed the permissible level of moisture content. The product is quite cozy and pleasant to sleep on, and you can also lie down in any position that is comfortable for you.

The next material we will look at is Memorix, it has a rare feature - the “memory” effect. It responds quite sensitively to load and temperature, due to which it adapts to each part of the body with particular precision. Due to its comfort, this is considered an expensive material, but you will appreciate the comfort that mattresses and pillows from Memorix will give you.

Hollcon is a material with a lush structure, produced using a non-woven method using a special technology. It is resistant to deformation, does not have any odor, and also has no contraindications for people suffering from allergic disorders.

With so many choices available, it's easy to get overwhelmed. So next we will look at the features individual selection mattress. Knowing all the features described in the article, you can easily choose a sleeping mattress for yourself, but also recommend to someone else a product that is right for them.

So what are the criteria for choosing the ideal mattress for yourself?


Many people know such a thing as orthopedic, most of you will assure that this mattress is the right option for any person. However, you may not agree with this, since all people are different and everyone’s needs are also different. Thus, one is suitable orthopedic mattress, and it will be comfortable for a person to sleep on it. But for others, this mattress will be very hard and completely uncomfortable.

Let us just pay attention to the degree of rigidity; of course, this concerns the individual personally; each individual person feels it in his own way, based on his habits and feelings. In any case, there are differences in selection, taking into account the age of the consumer. Orthopedic hard mattresses are preferable for children. Since rigidity is a very important detail for the formation of a fragile children's spine. While for older people, on the contrary, a soft orthopedic mattress is chosen.

And finally, we have come to such an important point as mattress filling. As we discussed earlier, there are 2 types of filler. Namely, natural and artificial. Of course, mattresses with natural filling are more expensive than those with artificial filling, but, nevertheless, this does not affect the quality and comfort in any way.

Even in some places it is much safer, for example, it has hypoallergenic and bactericidal features. And based on these tips, there is a chance that you can easily find an inexpensive copy that has increased comfort with artificial filler.

Healthy and adequate sleep has the most beneficial effect on the human body. The mood noticeably improves, vigor and strength appear for the whole day. And for this you need to create all the necessary conditions. Here it is important to take into account all the points: a comfortable bed, correctly selected bed linen, filling, but most importantly - this is the choice of an orthopedic mattress.

If it fits the bed perfectly, you simply won't notice it. However, the slightest discrepancy – and you are guaranteed discomfort. A mattress that is too large begins to hunch, and a small one does not cover the entire bed. Therefore, you need to select the size of the mattress in accordance with its length and width. There is no need to be in a hurry, as even the highest quality and most expensive orthopedic mattress will not bring any comfort if it does not fit the dimensions of the bed. To prevent this from happening, let’s consider what sizes of mattresses are on the market.

What you need to know

Present on the market wide range models of orthopedic mattresses of domestic and foreign production with different fillings. But there is one important point, which you need to know about. In the USA, the standard measurement is inch. Whereas in our country and in Europe the usual centimeters are used.

In this regard, you need to purchase a mattress from a manufacturer in the same country as the beds. It would be better if they were both under the same brand. The most demanding consumers can take advantage of the opportunity to manufacture custom-made mattresses in non-standard sizes and shapes.

Standard mattress sizes

Mattresses for adults


For round products there are also standard diameters:

  • small – Ø 200 cm;
  • medium – Ø 220 cm;
  • large – Ø 230 cm.

Mattresses for newborns


Children's mattresses

The height of a children's mattress without springs is 6-13 cm.
Models with springs have a height of 16-18 cm.


Mattress sizes for teenagers

The sizes of teenage mattress models are usually equated to single or one-and-a-half-bed mattresses.


How to make the right choice?

As you already know, the size of a standard orthopedic mattress is selected depending on the dimensions of the bed - it must fit exactly into its perimeter. Usually, finding a good mattress that matches the dimensions of the bed is not difficult. When purchasing it, all these parameters are indicated in the listing technical characteristics which should be thoroughly studied. In principle, any seller can name them himself and will be able to provide assistance.

Typically, the dimensions of a used mattress change significantly over the period of use. Therefore, if it is necessary to replace the old mattress, you should not take it into account, but measure the inner perimeter of the bed. Next, it remains to compare the results obtained with standard sizes. In this case, a deviation of one centimeter up or down is allowed.

If the deviation from the standard width, length and height of the mattress is more than 2 cm, then an individual order will be required and strictly according to the measurements received.


Correct size

Mattress length

A good guide when choosing a mattress model is your own height. To ensure comfortable rest and sleep, its length should exceed your height by 15 centimeters, no less. The most common mattress size is 200 cm.

If a person’s height does not exceed 175 cm, then the choice can be made on a product with a length of 190 cm.

Mattress width

A width of 80 or 90 centimeters may not be enough for good sleep, although it all depends on the human configuration. Therefore, for one person, of all types of products, a one-and-a-half mattress is more preferable, since it provides more space. As for double mattresses, most of them have a standard of 160 cm, which corresponds to many 2-bed bedding sets. If there is a small child in the family who likes to bask with their parents, it is worth purchasing a mattress with a width of 180 cm.

Mattress height

The height of any mattress should be slightly higher than the side of the bed. People with complete equipment are advised to select higher products, due to the fact that they will inevitably sag. The height of a sleeping mattress directly depends on its filling.

Mattresses without springs have a height of 15-24 cm.

Height with springs – 20-22 cm. Some manufacturers offer mattresses up to 32 cm high.


What are the unusual cases?

Difficulty may arise in cases where the bed has non-standard sizes and shapes. After all, sometimes you want to add at least some variety to your life and, for example, take a mattress of some unusual shape. But basically all products are made strictly rectangular in shape and with standard sizes. In this case, you need to contact a factory that can make a custom-made mattress. As a rule, most furniture factories or studios offer this service.

An individual order has certain advantages. First of all, you can choose the filling and upholstery according to your personal preferences. Should the mattress include springs or is it better to do without them? But the main thing is the original shape: diamond-shaped, oval and any other.

Sleep is important in our life. Properly organized sleeping place. It's good if you have a quality double bed with a mattress. And it has an orthopedic effect. If you're unlucky with your bed, you can fix it with the right mattress.

How to choose double mattresses

First you need to decide on the size.

Usually a mattress is purchased for a specific bed. At the same time, her documents indicate, among other characteristics, the dimensions of the sleeping place. If the bed was purchased a long time ago and information about it has not been preserved, then you need to measure the parameters yourself.

A common mistake is taking into account the external dimensions of the bed. In this case, the mattress will be larger than the sleeping area and will quickly deform. If you take a much smaller one, then it will ride on the bed, which is also not good.

The measurement results obtained may not correspond to the standard dimensions of manufactured mattresses. In this case, you need to take a product a couple of centimeters smaller than your sleeping place.

What products are called “double mattress”? Its dimensions are 140x200 cm, 160x200 cm, 180x200 cm and even 200x200 cm. Of these, the most common is 160x200 cm.

Mattresses are also available with a length of 190 cm, sometimes 195 cm. If your bed is smaller or larger than a standard double bed, or you purchased a bed of an original shape, for example, round, then you can order the double mattress you need, the dimensions of which will suit your bed. To do this you will have to pay an additional 10% of its cost.

In order for a mattress to be comfortable to sleep on, it must exceed your height by at least 15 cm. The more a person weighs, the thicker the mattress he needs.

The height, or thickness, depends on the type of mattress. It can vary from 2 to 50 cm. The thinnest (from 2 to 10 cm) are used as a mattress for a sofa. Standard height products without springs are 16 cm, spring ones - 20-22 cm. Elite class double mattresses have a thickness of about 50 cm. But any of them must be higher than the frames (sides) of the bed.

Orthopedic mattress

A more correct name is a mattress with an orthopedic effect. Now he is on everyone's lips. This mattress allows you to keep your spine in a natural position while sleeping. That is, it does not bend either when sleeping on its side or on its back.

At the same time, the mattress is not hard and does not cause discomfort. However, it is not suitable for everyone. For some illnesses, doctors recommend sleeping on a hard bed. But to prevent these diseases for your family, double orthopedic mattresses will be very useful.

Determining the maximum load on a berth

Sometimes a new mattress loses its shape after a few months of use and depressions appear on it. This can happen due to the fact that the load on the berth was chosen incorrectly. It is indicated in the characteristics of the mattress and indicates the maximum weight the user can have. In the case when double mattresses are used, the weight of each user (not their sum!) should not exceed the specified value. The numerical values ​​of this parameter can be 90 kg, 100 kg, 105 kg, 110 kg, 120 kg.

Mattress hardness

It could be:

  • high;
  • above average;
  • average;
  • low;
  • variable (mattresses that can be turned over).

This parameter depends on the filler and the maximum load on the bed.

Classification of mattresses

  • spring;
  • on a non-spring base.

Springs differ in the type of block and filler. Depending on the type of block, mattresses are:

  • on an independent spring block (new type);
  • on a Bonnel dependent spring block (old type).

Mattresses with independent spring block

Each spring is not connected to its neighbor by a metal connection. Under the influence of the weight of the human body, it bends. The cover prevents her from leaning to the side. Each spring bends depending on the load placed on it specifically.

Main types of independent spring blocks:

  • TFK and S500 blocks. Each of the springs is in a separate case and acts independently of the others, changing its height according to the load. And there are approximately 250 such springs per square meter, or up to 512 for space. The height of each is more than 10 cm, the diameter is about 6 cm. As a result, the mattress is adjusted to the configuration of the human body, so sleeping on it is comfortable and useful. But the springs themselves will not create comfortable sleeping conditions. Typically, TFC is insulated with thermal fabric and wrapped on both sides with a layer of eco-foam. As a substitute for latex, it gives the mattress softness and elasticity. The quilted cover is durable, the double mattress in it retains its shape and appearance.
  • The Honeycomb and Vemestet blocks have 350 springs with a diameter of 6 cm per square meter. They are arranged in a checkerboard pattern. This makes the mattress harder.
  • The S1000 block allows you to create an excellent double mattress, the price of which corresponds to its quality. Has about 500 springs per square meter. The diameter of each is 4 cm. Designed for increased loads.
  • The S2000 block has 1000 springs with a diameter of 2.5 cm per square meter. It has excellent orthopedic properties. Very expensive.
  • Double Spring, Dual Spring - “spring within a spring.” Double mattresses created on the basis of such a block are intended for people of different weight categories. Only after pushing through the outer spring is the inner spring activated. Users of this mattress receive double support. There are 250 internal and external springs per m2.
  • Reinforced - the springs are reinforced with thick wire. The thickness of the springs on only one side can be increased. Then the double bed with mattress is divided into two zones intended for people with different weights.
  • Multizone has springs of varying degrees of rigidity, divided into zones, which can be 3, 5 or 7. The rigidity of the head zone in such mattresses differs from the zone for the buttocks.

Mattresses on a dependent spring block "Bonnel"

They are quite reliable. They have 120-160 four-turn springs per square meter. These double mattresses are cheap. But the orthopedic effect is weak, because the springs are interconnected and compressed under the influence of neighboring ones. Spring block can last up to 15 years. The filler loses its shape faster. This design is now considered obsolete. During use under heavy loads, the springs begin to creak and can “shoot” and break through the mattress.

Positive characteristics of spring mattresses

  • have a high orthopedic effect;
  • withstand heavy loads;
  • resistant to deformation;
  • the soft filler lasts longer in the independent spring unit.

Spring mattresses: what else should you pay attention to?

  • Dust accumulates inside the unit. Dust can also accumulate on the face of the mattress, causing skin reactions.
  • Static stress caused by metal parts of the structure can cause fatigue instead of proper rest during sleep.
  • Moisture is poorly removed from the mattress frame, so the springs rust and creak.
  • Vibrations during movement are felt throughout the mattress.
  • The sleepers do not have their own individual place and roll on top of each other.
  • The edge of the mattress, reinforced with polyurethane or metal rods, can be very soft or too hard. Therefore, sitting and lying on the edge is uncomfortable.
  • High price of quality products.

Springless mattresses

Such models, along with spring ones, have a good orthopedic effect. May consist of natural and artificial fillers. There are monolithic or layered.

Advantages:

  • No metal components are used in their manufacture. Therefore, such mattresses do not create a magnetic field around themselves.
  • They are lighter than spring ones.
  • Does not accumulate dust.
  • Moisture is removed from the inside of the mattress.
  • They do not create the unpleasant sensations that are inherent in spring mattresses.
  • They do not transmit vibrations from movement in a dream.
  • Each of the sleepers has his own individual place.
  • Comfortable position throughout the entire mattress area
  • Recommended for teenagers and children.
  • They last longer than spring ones.

Flaws:

  • High-quality hypoallergenic fillers are very expensive.
  • Stiffer than spring ones.

Mattresses for overweight people

Such products must be made from independent spring blocks (300-600 springs per square meter) and have high rigidity.

Can be used with latex blocks and coconut coir flooring. They are not only reliable, but due to their elasticity they do not deform and quickly return to their original shape after use. In addition, they do not cause allergies.


Spring mattress fillers

In order for a product to be soft and comfortable, it is not enough to provide it with the required number of spring blocks. First, they are covered with a pad of furniture mesh or felt. Then both sides are covered with fillers, which give the mattress softness. The thicker the filler layer, the more comfortable the mattress.

Fillings for soft mattresses:

  • natural latex - contains at least 20% rubber, in elite latex this percentage reaches 85;
  • polyurethane foam (foam rubber) - is an inexpensive analogue of latex;
  • memory foam material, a special type of foam rubber that slowly recovers after compression.

Fillings for medium-hard mattresses:

  • holofiber (dense artificial non-woven material), struttofiber (may have additives from natural fibers) - more reliable than foam rubber;
  • coir is a fiber that is obtained from the coconut fruit. Usually diluted half and half with latex;
  • foam rubber with coir;
  • coir and natural latex.

Fillers for hard mattresses:

  • foam rubber and coir;
  • coir and holofiber or struttofiber;
  • coir (most common).

Filler location:

  1. On both sides. Allows you to turn the mattress over from time to time. This way it retains its shape longer.
  2. On the one side. These can be both cheap options and the most expensive ones that do not need to be turned over.
  3. Different types of filler make it possible to produce mattresses of variable (double-sided) hardness. The soft side can be used in winter, the hard side in summer.

Sometimes mattress manufacturers use cheaper fillings. And there's nothing wrong with that. If you want to save money and buy cheap double beds with a mattress, this is your right. But sometimes the manufacturer hides the presence of cheaper filler in the product.

This happens if:

  • foam rubber layer less than 2 cm;
  • latex thinner than 3 cm;
  • material with memory effect up to 3-4 cm;
  • holofiber (struttofiber) thinner than 3 cm;
  • coir in a medium-hard mattress is less than 1 cm, hard - up to 3 cm.

Using this information, you can understand why one of the two mattresses is cheaper.

Modern folding beds

Double mattresses can be used on folding beds. This is very convenient in a country house or in a city apartment, where there is no extra space for extra beds, and guests often visit. In such cases, a double folding bed with a mattress will solve many problems. After all, these are not products that turn into a hammock upon first use. More than a dozen lamellas (connecting slats) support the sleeper and evenly distribute his weight. A high-quality orthopedic mattress with a height of at least 10 cm, equipped with a lock, allows you to remove the load from the spine and ensures healthy sleep. Naturally, the mattress installed on the folding bed is not of an elite class. But this design can easily withstand a weight of up to 250 kg; even two fairly large people can fit on it. Special wheels make it possible to transport it from place to place.

Cheap double beds with mattress can be durable and of high quality. The secret usually lies in what the manufacturer uses domestic materials. A wide selection of mattress models allows you to choose the product that is most suitable in price and quality for each customer.

When a bed and mattress go well together, we usually don't see it. We sleep soundly all night, and in the morning we wake up cheerful and fresh. When important components of healthy sleep, such as the sizes of mattresses on the bed, do not match, it is immediately noticeable. If the mattress is larger in size than the sleeping place, then it begins to hunch heavily, which prevents you from sleeping normally, but if it is smaller, then it is simply not able to cover the entire bed.

There are so many dimensions of modern mattresses, what to do right choice it's not easy. During the purchasing process, it may seem like it fits perfectly, but in the end it is impossible to sleep on it.

When buying a new bed, focusing only on external parameters, the risk of making a mistake with the choice is too great. Even a good orthopedic product that does not fit properly will make your sleep restless. Let's take a closer look at the standard sizes of mattresses for beds and figure out how to choose them correctly.

Important points when choosing a mattress

The main problem is that there are different standard bed mattresses used in Europe and America. In particular, the problem lies in different measures. In Germany, Italy or France, manufacturers measure in centimeters, while in America they use inches. This means that if you bought a high-quality Italian bed and want to choose a good American orthopedic mattress for it, then you are almost 100% likely to get the wrong size.


Take, for example, the popular model called King Size. Its length is 80 dm and width is 78 dm. Converting to European measures, we get 203.2 and 198.1 centimeters. The bed, made in Russia, Italy or France, has a length of two meters, but the width of the structure may vary.

The best option would be to purchase a mattress and a bed at the same time and from the same brand. If this is not possible, then you need to at least ensure that the products are manufactured in one country. Many modern organizations provide the opportunity to individually order the size of a mattress for a bed. Naturally, such a service will require additional expenses.

Important! Manufacturers under famous brands often produce their products, focusing on European and American sizes. It is important to take this into account when choosing.


Standard dimensions

The size of the mattress largely depends on the size of the bed for which it is selected. Standard length There are 190, 195 and 200 cm, and the width of the product may differ.


Children's sizes

There are also standard sizes of mattresses designed for newborn babies. They are usually 120 cm long and 60 cm wide. When choosing an option for an older child, focus on the dimensions - 140/70. On average, the standards for children's beds range from 60-80 in width and from 120 to 160 in length.


As for thickness, it ranges from 6-13 cm if it is a mattress without springs. In the case of springs, the height of the product can be from 16 to 18 centimeters.

Sometimes width characteristics play a primary role in the choice. After all, some children's beds are focused on models of a certain thickness. This point must be indicated in the crib's passport.

Selecting a mattress and bed sizes

It is already clear that when choosing a mattress, it is important to focus on the size of the bed itself. It should fit perfectly into its internal dimensions, both in width and length. In addition, the height should be combined with the basic parameters of the bed.

Usually all these indicators are listed in the bed passport. Before purchasing a mattress for beds, these parameters should be studied in detail. Often the sales consultant himself can tell you what's what. Usually they know how to choose the right place to sleep. You are simply replacing your old mattress with a new one, so you can simply use the help of a tape measure. Accurately measure the internal dimensions of the bed. These indicators will be the required sizes.

Important! It is highly not recommended to take measurements of your old mattress, because over the entire period of use it has probably compacted and suffered changes. You should measure the dimensions of the bed itself.


If during measurements there is a slight difference of 0.5 or 1 centimeter, then this is acceptable. When measuring, we got a length of 200 cm and a width of 159, or vice versa, a width of 160 and a length of 201. These are normal parameters, which means you can safely go purchase a standard mattress for your bed.

If the difference is two, three centimeters or more, then you will need to order a model according to the exact parameters. Any difference, either smaller or larger, is not allowed. Due to excessive friction, the upholstery wears out. By making sure your new mattress fits as tightly as possible, you will get the comfort you need for years to come.

Choose by length

If you go by length, the most popular size of mattresses in Russia is two meters. However, if your height is no more than 175 cm, then you can sleep with greater comfort on a product of 190 cm. There are also options for 195 cm. To ensure maximum comfort, the length should be at least 15 centimeters longer than your height person.


Select by height

The thickness or height of a mattress largely depends on individual personal preference. Speaking of orthopedic models, their height should be at least a few centimeters higher than the height of the side of the bed. For overweight people, it is better to choose a higher sleeping place, otherwise it will sag and it will be uncomfortable to sleep on.

Mattress height parameters:

  • The standard sizes of springless ones are 16 cm in height. However, there are also lower ones - 15 cm, and higher ones up to 24 cm. Thinner products (from two to ten centimeters) can be used like a mattress cover or on an old sofa, the springs on which have long been dented.
