What are the sizes of mattresses?

A bed and a mattress are a tandem, without which it is impossible to imagine a full healthy sleep. The size of the mattress is usually determined by the size of the bed, which can be standard and non-standard. The dimensions of the frame of the bed and the mattress should be ideally suited to each other and should not differ by more than 1-2 cm, otherwise a comfortable sleep will become the ultimate dream and a rare intermittent dream. It is important to know what are the sizes of mattresses in order to choose the best option.

Countries differ not only in bed standards, but also in units of measurement. For example, in the USA it is customary to use inches, in France, Italy and Russia - centimeters. When buying Italian or other European furniture, you can not worry about the size of the future mattress and choose one that will exactly fit the dimensions of the bed. But with the furniture from the United States such a number will not work. American King size - 78 inches in width and 80 in length in terms of centimeters - 198.1 x 203.1 cm. These details of manufacturing countries should be taken into account when choosing a bed and a mattress, and therefore you need to choose one manufacturer or at least a single country produced by both. Otherwise, you can make a mistake by 2-3 cm in size, which will bring inconvenience to the bedroom.

Usually the size of the bed is 1-2 cm larger than the size of the mattress. A small margin in the base of the bed is needed in order to place and fix the product on it.

If the size of the base turns out to be much larger than the mattress, then the latter will “crawl” back and forth, less - the product will simply not be marked on the bed. Even if you cram it into a frame, it will lose its orthopedic properties due to its tightness.

Standards for sleeping mattresses vary depending on the country of origin. There are two measurement systems: English and Metric. English is used in the USA, England and Australia, metric - in Russia, Italy, France and most other European and former Soviet countries. Recently, euro mattresses have become popular, but they also differ among themselves depending on the country of origin. In Europe, a single bed has a width of 90-100 cm, in the United States - 99 cm. A half-bed in Europe is determined to be 140-160 cm wide, in the US - 137.2 cm. "Double beds" in Europe - a bed of 180 or 200 cm, in the US - 193 \ 198 x 203.2 cm or 182.9 x 213.36 cm. Below we will discuss the European sizes we are used to.

Mattresses differ not only in filling, but also in size. By the way, the height of the product just depends on its “filling”, and spring models are usually higher than springless ones. But more about that later, now consider the standard and not quite standard dimensions of the bed.

The length of a single-seater model can be 190, 195 and 200 cm. Non-standard sizes are elongated beds with the same elongated mattress of 210, 220 and 230 cm and a quite usual width up to 140 cm. Beds for teens or single models have a standard sleeper, which is defined as:

• 80 x 200 cm;
• 90 x 200 cm;
• 100 x 200 cm;
• 120 x 200 cm;
• 140 x 200 cm

A cot for a newborn has a mattress size of 60 x 120 cm or 65 x 130 cm for individual (usually European) manufacturers. When buying a bed, they are completed with a suitable mattress right on the spot, so that their parameters match exactly.

Beds for children over 3 years old usually have dimensions of 70 x 140 (160) cm, and mattresses are matched to them according to the same dimensions. The width of a berth can vary from 80, 90, 100 cm to 110 and 120 cm, length - from 120, 130, 140 cm to 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 and 200 cm.

Parameters 190, 195 and 200 cm are considered to be the unified length of an “adult” mattress. 210, 220 and 230 cm are non-standard parameters that can also be easily found on sale or made to order.

The width of an adult bed is determined by 140, 160, 180 and 200 cm. 140 cm belongs to the category of single beds, but this size is enough for two. The Queen size is a 180 x 200 mattress, King size is 200 x 200 cm.

The rectangle is the most familiar and accessible form for most of us. An alternative to it is the round shape of the bed, the diameter of which is determined 200,210, 220 and 230 cm. It belongs to the category of non-standard products, which are distinguished by their originality and high cost. Non-standard two-seaters are usually made to order according to individual sizes in large and small factories. To do this, you need to provide a sketch of the future product and focus on the size and shape of the bed itself so that the future product perfectly fits into it.

As noted, the height of the product depends on its filler and can vary greatly. And the higher it is, the more comfortable the rest. Under the weight of the human body, the mattress bends, the fat models bend more (we can even not notice it). Therefore, they are so comfortable, comfortable and sweet to lie down and sleep. Returning to bed height:

• 3-4 cm - the minimum height of the mattress, which is often called mattress. It serves to protect the main product from wetting and wear;
• 8-10 cm - the optimum height of an orthopedic springless product, sufficient for a comfortable sleep;
• 16-20 cm - the usual height of springless mattresses;
• 18-30 cm - the height of the spring models;
• 40 cm high from 50 cm and youover Mattresses are classified as premium.

To choose the optimum height, first of all start from the weight of the rest on the adult bed:

• Weight up to 50 kg You can opt for a thin springless mattress of latex and polyurethane foam or spring models such as "Bonnel";
• Up to 90 kg The ideal choice would be a mattress with independent springs of medium hardness (256 or more springs);
• A person weighing more than 90 kg you should choose models with independent springs (620 units and above) or a springless model with a thickness of 20 cm of medium and high rigidity.

In the passport mattress manufacturer indicates the load on one bed. When choosing a mattress for a couple, it is important to consider the weight of each of them and to proceed from a larger weight. If the difference in weight is insignificant (up to 10 kg), then the mattress can be chosen virtually any other than springs "Bonnel"(If a couple is not heavyweights). If the difference is about 20-30 kg, then you should choose high mattresses with a block of independent springs (620 units) or two springless mattresses of different filling. In simple words, the higher the orthopedic mattress, the more weight it can bear. But high models with dependent springs for large weights will not work.

It is determined by the length of the bed or bed. The best is that when there is 20-30 cm in stock from a person's height. For example, a rest is 170 cm tall, which means a comfortable length of 190, 195 and 200 cm. If a member of the family is 190 cm tall, then this is a reason to think about buying a non-standard bed and a mattress 210 or 220 cm.

It is difficult for a child to choose the length of the mattress. For a newborn, they usually choose models 60 x 120 cm or 65 x 130 cm - they are compact and quite comfortable. They serve up to 3 years or the moment until the child grows into a sleeper.

For grown-up children from 2-3 years old, you should choose standard models 70 x 140 cm or growing beds, the length of which increases to 190-200 cm.

Yes. By custom mattresses usually include:

• Non-standard width models;
• Bevelled, oval, round, trapezoidal, square-shaped mattress (except 200 x 200 cm).

Such products are made with a surcharge and the parameters of the bed itself.
