Bed mattress sizes: detailed information

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.

What you should know about mattress sizes

Misadventures happen to those who do not take into account the metric system of a particular country when ordering a design. Each country has its own standardized mattress sizes and they are calculated not only in centimeters. The US typically uses inches (1 inch = 0.0254 m). An American frame will not fit an Italian bed. An example is the “king size” model, which has parameters of 80x78 inches. Converted to our metric system, it turns out to be 203.2x198.1 cm. Bed models made in Italy, France and Russia have a width of 2 m, which will not allow the use of a product from an American manufacturer.

In order to avoid problems in the future, it is recommended to buy a standard size frame and bed from the same brand. If for some reason it is not possible to purchase products from one brand, preference should be given to products from one country of origin. If you have a frame of non-standard size, you will need a product made to individual measurements, which will lead to significant expenses. To maintain the image, manufacturers produce models of different sizes, which will facilitate subsequent selection.

What to do if you need a non-standard size mattress

Sometimes you don’t want to be like everyone else, and people order something “like that” for themselves or their children. For example, a diamond-shaped, oval or figured bed. But the sizes of orthopedic mattresses produced today are clearly not suitable for such fancy products. Therefore, there is only one option - the mattress must be made to order. In general, this is not a problem - if only there was money. Factories are usually willing to take on such work.

But you yourself can choose the fillings, upholstery, number of layers, and also determine whether the mattress will have springs and which ones. As for the price, the surcharge for non-standard products is usually 5 - 10 percent. Such mattresses are produced in increments of 5 centimeters.

How to choose a standard mattress

When choosing an orthopedic or other type of mattress, you should pay attention to the dimensions of the product. The assortment of modern stores can confuse every buyer, and online stores should not be ignored. After reviewing and comparing the models you like, you should make a decision. Many characteristics are taken into account. A review of models in stores will allow you to make the right choice.

Children's mattresses

Not only the quality of the baby’s sleep, but also the development of the spine depends on the quality of the crib mattress used. Conventionally, product manufacturers divide the stages of a child’s growth into school, preschool, nursery and infant stages. According to age, a product of appropriate size and quality is selected. Newborn babies spend most of their time in the crib. Depending on the crib model, the product has an oval, round or rectangular shape. For infants, rigid product models are used. The sides will create a feeling of comfort for the baby, who will feel like he is in a cocoon. Mattresses 60x120 cm or 70x120 cm are placed in a crib for newborns.

For newborns, you should select a product based on the following criteria:

• double-sided models will allow you to delay the purchase of the product until the baby reaches six months of age;
• cover made of natural and breathable fabric;
• springless models with hypoallergenic filler.

When a child reaches toddler age, there is a need to purchase an orthopedic mattress, the height of which depends on the design of the crib. This way you will be able to avoid problems with the spine in the future. By the age of three, the spine is fully formed, after which the cervical spine begins to develop (up to 7 years). The lumbar spine continues to develop until age 12. The sleeping surface should be of medium hardness. From 6 years of age, preference should be given to spring models with an average stiffness. Models that help correct incorrectly formed posture deserve special attention. After 12 years, the child sleeps on spring models, which include polyurethane. The height of a children's mattress rarely reaches 18 cm.

Mattresses for teenagers

Once a child reaches adolescence, the size of children's beds undergo changes. Healthy sleep becomes a priority. During the daytime, a teenager is exposed to increased mental and physical stress, which exhausts the fragile and developing body. Getting a good night's rest is more important than ever. The time has come to consider in detail the models of orthopedic structures that guarantee the correct position of the spine. During sleep, the child will stretch to his full height and turn in different directions. The equipment for children is different, which should be taken into account when choosing a mattress for children.

Standard size of a teenage bed:

• height 10-24 cm;
• length 160-190 cm;
• width 70-80 cm.

One-and-a-half models are not purchased often. Based on the design and size of the bed, the product is selected.

Mattresses for adults

The sizes of mattresses for an adult bed should be a guarantee of high-quality, sound and healthy sleep. Both single and double models are used. The length of the standard product will be 190 cm, while manufacturers offer models with parameters of 195-200 cm. The selection of the product is carried out based on the dimensions of the sleeping place or the height of the person.

Standard sizes for adult structures:

• double 140-200 cm;
• one and a half 100-135 cm;
• single (not used) 80-95 cm.

Sizes of children's mattresses

But mattresses aren't just for adults. Children, especially newborns, need careful spinal support. Manufacturers responded to demand and released models for small cribs. And in this area there are also standards.

A typical crib mattress measures 60 by 120 cm. Its width exactly matches the size of waterproof diapers, which is very convenient. You can make the bed from edge to edge and not be afraid that the child will wet the bed.

As the baby grows, so does his bed. For older children, manufacturers already offer mattresses with a width of 70 cm and a length of 140 cm. The largest models reach an “adult” width of 80 cm and a length of 160 centimeters. Many manufacturers also offer their own mattress sizes for children.

There is no separate category for teenagers. Firstly, during this period children grow quickly, and few people dare to change the mattress every year (or even six months). Secondly, the difference in size with a full-fledged adult version is only in length - so you can immediately take a single model for growth.

Deciding on the size of the mattress

Buyers will be faced with questions regarding the standard sizes of mattresses, which manufacturers provide in their own tables. The review of models will be carried out according to the requirements and requests of the buyer himself. General requirements are present and should be reviewed in advance.

Mattress height

In the production process of standard orthopedic units, the manufacturer uses materials of different thickness and structure. The total thickness of the product will depend on the volume of filler. Before purchasing, you should understand how high the mattress should be and whether the size is standard.

The class of the product directly depends on the height of the mattress:

1. Toppers are a type of thin product that can be folded (rolled) when needed. About 4-8 cm.
2. Products based on a spring block will have a height of 18-32 cm.
3. The height of springless models will be 14-24 cm.

Mattress width

There are more standardized width indicators. Dimensions were described above. For normal and comfortable sleep, an adult will need a sleeping place with a width of 0.7 m. Manufacturers build on this indicator. Paired beds are calculated based on the dimensions of the sleepers. The minimum width will be 1.4 m. An adult device model with dimensions of 200x200 cm is considered an ideal solution for a married couple. It is also possible to purchase a mattress of a non-standard size.

How to measure the length of a mattress

To obtain accurate measurements regarding the length of the bed, you should place one end of the tape measure at the base of the bed (headboard), and stretch the tape to the edge of the bed where the legs are located. The data obtained indicates the length of the old product or bed. The size of children's beds is also measured. In the selection process, it is easier to measure a single, double or one-and-a-half bed. Standard bed mattress sizes are used by people of average height. Basketball players will have to make the product to order.

Custom sizes

There are situations when in a regular store it is not possible to choose a design suitable for a bed. In addition to unusual height and weight, the problem may lie in a non-standard shaped bed. In this case, you will have to sew the product to order. The length of standard products is 2 m. If you are 2 m tall, a person will need a bed 2.15 m long (+15 cm to the person’s height) for a comfortable sleep. The shape of the product is selected arbitrarily, depending on the personal preferences of the customer. In addition to the ability to independently select the dimensions of the structure, it becomes possible to select fillers.

Standard

Based on current GOSTs, the following dimensions are considered standard:

One and a half

Used by teenagers and young couples who did not have time to purchase a large bed in the size of the corresponding new status. The width of the structure will be 100-130 cm, with a length of 190-200 cm.

Euro size

In the European measuring system there is no concept of a one-and-a-half bed. The minimum width of a bed designed for two is 140x200 cm or 160x200 cm.

Round mattresses

Round mattresses, which can decorate any interior, deserve special attention. The original style and spacious room will make a round bed the highlight of the bedroom. Features include the fact that the diameter of the structure will be larger compared to rectangular models. This is due to the fact that being in the center of the structure, a person will need more free space and, in particular, length.

The diameter of round units is:

• 240 cm;
• 230 cm;
• 220 cm;
• 210 cm;
• 200 cm.

Features of choosing a product by size

Length

The main accepted requirement is that the length of the ordered mattress must exceed the height of the person who will use it by at least 150 mm.

You should choose a mattress taking into account your own height

Failure to comply with this condition will not allow you to create comfortable sleeping conditions. It is unlikely that you will be able to stretch out and relax on such a bed. Following this rule, for people whose height is 1750 mm, the minimum length of the mattress is 1900 mm. The most common length today is 2000 mm.

Height

There is a wide range of mattresses of different heights on the market. When choosing a base, you need to focus on the design of the bed (the mattress must be at least 100 mm higher than its sides), the health status of those who will use the bed (models of varying hardness are available) and your own ideas about comfort. An important aspect is the person’s weight. For heavier people, you should purchase thicker mattresses.

When choosing the height of a mattress, they are guided by their own weight and feeling of comfort.

Products can be springless (their height varies between 150...240 mm) and equipped with spring blocks (height 200...300 mm). In the first case, the most common size is 160 mm in height, in the second - 220 mm. If desired, you can order a product with a height of 500 mm, but it will be quite expensive.

Thinner mattresses (up to 100 mm) are most often used as mattress toppers or to equip sofas.

Thin hard mattress

Width

When purchasing a bed and mattress, it is important to consider not only the current state of affairs, but also the possibility of changes in the future. This will allow you not to purchase new, expensive furniture in case of a change in status.

When considering mattress options, you should focus on how many people will sleep on the bed, their build, and their sleep behavior. If a person sleeps restlessly and often turns around, it will not be at all comfortable for his other half to spend time on a single-and-a-half bed.

The width of the berth should be sufficient for a relaxing rest

Finding the right size mattress is not that difficult. Almost all manufacturers produce products whose size range varies in increments of 50 mm. If necessary, everyone has the opportunity to order a product according to individual parameters, paying very little extra (up to 10% of the cost).

Weight of the product itself

The total weight of the structure will depend on the type of filler used and the dimensions of the product in question. The approximate weight of a square meter of a spring mattress will be 10-15 kg. The weight of the springless structure will be 15-20 kg per square meter. For a structure located in the bedroom, such a load does not matter, but during transportation every kilogram is important. The anatomical indicator does not depend on height. The thicker the mattress, the better the mattress properties declared by the manufacturer will be felt. For greater comfort, you should purchase the thickest mattress. Due to the number of layers used, the orthopedic effect will be more pronounced.

Sizes of one-and-a-half mattresses

If the standard 80 cm is not enough, and two mattresses are still too much, one-and-a-half mattresses will come in handy. Their width, in full accordance with the name, is exactly half as large and equals 120 cm. There are no differences in length from the previous category - the same 190, 195 and 200 cm.

Tip: One-and-a-half-size mattresses are also suitable for those cases when you need to sleep a mother and child.

If absolutely necessary, this option can be used for two. But then you’ll have to make room. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the maximum permissible load so as not to damage the mattress.

Tips for choosing

Modern manufacturers produce more than 400 models of mattresses, which allows you to choose the best option for a family of any income. When choosing, you should focus on the following factors:

1. The cost of the product depends on the brand, the quality and quantity of materials used, and the complexity of the production process used.
2. Before purchasing a new product (replacing an old version), you should take careful measurements of the sleeping place you are using.
3. A person's height, weight and health problems should be taken into account.

How to confirm the guaranteed quality of a product:

• the store has an appropriate quality certificate;
• certificate of quality;
• conclusion on passing the inspection by the relevant environmental services;
• compliance with current GOSTs;
• testing;
• conclusion of somnologists.

Single mattress sizes

For one person, single mattresses are the ideal choice. They are made based on the average size of an adult. Classically it is believed that 80 cm width is enough. Taking into account standard length options, the following dimensions are obtained: 80 by 190/195/200 cm.

This category may also include single meter wide mattresses. They will appeal to those who like to turn from side to side - an additional 20 cm will be very useful. But 80-centimeter mattresses fit standard beds and will certainly fit into any room. Some purchase single models for teenagers.

Another reason to choose a mattress size from the single category is the configuration of a large double bed with halves of different hardness. For example, if the husband needs independent springs, and the wife prefers a springless version with coconut flakes. If you select halves of the same height and cover them with a common mattress cover, then everyone will be happy. At the same time, the bed will look like a single whole, as befits a marital bed.

Expert advice

Manufacturers and sellers of sleeping products advise following the following recommendations when choosing:

• Buy a bed and mattress from the same manufacturer.
• Order a bed and sleeping place from either European or Russian brands, or American manufacturers.
• Buy a mattress according to individual sizes if the base of the bed has non-standard dimensions.

Deviations in the dimensions of the base and mattress within 1.5-2 cm are considered acceptable.

How to choose a mattress for the size of your bed?

Often a bed is purchased already with a sleeping place, but there are cases when it is necessary to select a mattress separately - for example, if cabinet furniture was purchased without a sleeping product, or you want to replace the old mattress with a new orthopedic one. To do this, you need to take the measurements correctly.

It is necessary to measure the length and width of the bed itself within the back and side structural elements. The height is determined both by the depth of the bed itself in the bedroom or nursery, and by the convenience for future owners. Sitting or getting up from a sleeping place that is too low or too high is not very comfortable.

Please note that all independent measurements using a tape measure are carried out strictly on the inner surface of the frame (along the sides), and not on the old mattress, since during use the sleeping place could be deformed, lose its rigidity and become wider, longer, lower.

Choosing the width

The width of standard single products is, as a rule, 80-90 cm. The wider the sleeping area, the:

• It will be more comfortable to sleep - this is especially important if you often change your position while sleeping.
• The less likely it is to press through if your weight is more than 90 kg.

A slight deviation of the width downward compared to the width of the bed frame is allowed. It is clear that a slight excess of width for most mattress models will be critical.

For 1.5- and 2-bed mattresses chosen for a couple, the difference in weight must also be taken into account. If there are significant differences in weight between people, then it is better to choose a wider model. The best option is models with different hardnesses of one surface. Such a sleeping place practically does not press through and retains its shape longer.

Choosing the length

Manufacturers offer various product models in increments of 5 or 10 cm. The length of the mattress is selected taking into account the following criteria:

• Human height and additionally at least 10-15 cm in length for a comfortable position.
• The size of the pillows you plan to sleep on - they also take up the usable area of ​​the sleeping space.
• For teenagers, it is allowed to buy a bed with a mattress “for growth”; for children of primary and secondary school age, it is better to choose products that match their height.

Choosing a height

It is believed that the optimal height of a sleeping product above the sides of the bed should be about 10 cm. The standard height of mattresses is 18-22 cm, for orthopedic products - up to 23 cm. As for the thickness according to the type of sleeping place, it varies within the following limits:

• For springless ones - 15-24 cm.
• For models with spring blocks - 18-32 cm.

There are also higher premium models, the height of which can reach 50 cm.

When choosing a model by height, use a tape measure to measure the depth of the bed - from the base (slats) to the side.

Please note that not only comfort, but also safety depends on the height, since a mattress that is too low for a bed with a deep base is more likely to be injured on the sides.

The height is also selected based on the person’s weight. The greater the weight, the higher you should choose a sleeping place.
