How to choose the right mattress size

Choosing the right mattress size depends on several factors, including the size of your bedroom, your height, and whether you intend to use the mattress alone or with a partner.

Bedroom size:

• Small bedrooms: For smaller rooms, single mattresses or narrow double mattresses (140 x 200 cm) are suitable to ensure sufficient freedom of movement.
• Large bedrooms: In larger rooms you can easily use larger mattresses (from 160 x 200 cm), which offer more comfort and look more luxurious.

Height:

• Make sure the mattress is at least 10-20 cm longer than your height to ensure you have enough space.

Use:

• Single use: Single mattresses (80-100 cm wide) are ideal for children, teenagers and single adults.
• Shared use: For couples, double mattresses (from 140 cm wide) are the best choice. If sleeping habits differ, a wider mattress (160-200 cm) is recommended to provide enough space.

Tips for measuring your bed frame and bedroom

Before buying a mattress, you should know the exact dimensions of your bed frame and bedroom. Here are some tips to ensure that the new mattress fits perfectly:

Measure bed frame:

1. Length and width: Measure the inside dimensions of the bed frame to determine the exact size the mattress should be.
2. Height: Also consider the height of the bed frame and mattress to ensure the bed is not too high or too low.

Measure bedroom:

1. Total area: Measure the length and width of the bedroom to determine the available space.
2. Space around the bed: Leave at least 60 cm of space around the bed to allow enough freedom of movement.
3. Additional furniture: Consider wardrobes, bedside tables, and other furniture that could further restrict space in the bedroom.
