THE MATTRESS SIZE GUIDE The size of your mattress is one of the first, not to mention most important decisions you need to make. There are many options available but here are some handy tips when choosing the best size that suits you: * A mattress should be at least 10cm longer than the height of the tallest person using it. * The width of the mattress should allow you to be able to put both your hands under your head without your elbows touching the edge of the mattress or the person sleeping next to you. * European mattress sizes differ from UK mattress sizes. Select two bed sizes to compare 1 5'0 King W 152cm x L 202cm (5ft x 6'8") With plenty of room to spare, this mattress allows partners to get extremely comfortable. 2 5'0 King * W 152cm x L 202cm (5ft x 6'8") 1 Toddler W 77cm x L 142cm (2'6" x 4'8") This toddler mattress is perfect for smaller bed frames for little ones. 2 Toddler * W 77cm x L 142cm (2'6" x 4'8") 1 2'6 Small Single W 77cm x L 192cm (2'6" x 6'4")
The small single will fit narrower kid's bed frames and guest beds. 2 2'6 Small Single * W 77cm x L 192cm (2'6" x 6'4") 1 3'0 Single W 92cm x L 192cm (3ft x 6'4") A slightly larger single mattress for regular use and extra comfort. 2 3'0 Single * W 92cm x L 192cm (3ft x 6'4") 1 4'0 Small Double W 122cm x L 192cm (4ft x 6'4") Small double beds add a little more sleeping space to smaller areas. 2 4'0 Small Double * W 122cm x L 192cm (4ft x 6'4") 1 4'6 Double W 137cm x L 192cm (4'6" x 6'4") Perfect for couples, this double size provides ample sleeping room. 2 4'6 Double * W 137cm x L 192cm (4'6" x 6'4") 1 6'0 Super King W 182cm x L 202cm (6ft x 6'8") This mattress size is the king of comfort, with the opportunity to really stretch out for both you and your partner. 2 6'0 Super King * W 182cm x L 202cm (6ft x 6'8") 6'0 SUPER KING W 182cm x L 202cm (6ft x 6'6'') The very best in sleeping comfort - the super king mattress gives an unbeatable amount of space for you and your partner.
If your family all like to squeeze in together on Sunday mornings or just someone who values a lot of space, the Super King is a great option. Best for: 2 persons 5'0 KING W 152cm x L 202cm (5ft x 6'6'') Great if you like plenty of sleeping room; a king size mattress will mean you'll be able to turn and move positions without disturbing your partner. If you or your partner are 190cm or taller we recommend a King. In the US this mattress is referred to as a 'Queen' and is known in Japan as a 'Wide Double'. 4'6 DOUBLE W 137cm x L 192cm (4'6'' x 6'4'') A double mattress is the perfect sleeping solution for couples. This size allows for a good amount of room so each person can get an undisturbed night's sleep. Here, at Dreams we stock a huge range of double mattresses with a wide variety of materials and construction. 4'0 SMALL DOUBLE W 122cm x L 192cm (4ft x 6'4'') Small Double mattresses are better suited for one person but can be bought for two average sized adults who don't mind sleeping close to each other.
A small double is also a good choice for couples whose bedroom isn't particularly wide. Best for: 1 person 3'0 SINGLE W 92cm x L 192cm (3ft x 6'4'') This size is great for people who sleep on their own and is a good longer term option for a child as it will last well into their teens. Single sized mattresses are also a great option for larger spare rooms and guest bedrooms. 2'6 SMALL SINGLE W 77cm x L 192cm (2'6'' x 6'4'') The small single will fit narrower kids' bed frames and guest beds. It's the perfect size if you're trying to save on space and is great for a spare room as it can be easily moved when you have guests. Best for: Young kids Toddler W 77cm x L 142cm (2'6'' x 4'8'') A toddler sized mattress is the perfect size for kids aged between one and three and is a great starter for kids ready to move out of their cots. Care should be taken to ensure that the mattress fits perfectly on your kids' bed. Turning the mattress regularly will also reduce wear over time.
