Single Mattress Size: How to Calculate It

How do you calculate the size of a single mattress?

Is it time to furnish your child's room or the guest bedroom? To organize and optimize the space, it's essential to plan every little detail and the bed is definitely the element to start with. But do you know exactly what the size of a single mattress is? Let’s find out together.

What are the dimensions of a single mattress?

Especially if you're furnishing a small room, you need to plan the space carefully to fit everything you need without making it feel cramped! The first tip is to calculate the space taken up by the bed (which you can't do without!) that needs to accommodate a comfortable mattress.

Are mattress sizes standardized? When it comes to length and width, yes. Let’s take a look:

Single mattress: 80 X 190 cm

Double mattress or King-size mattress: 160 X 190 cm

Of course, these are just standard dimensions, but by contacting manufacturers directly, you can customize the mattress to fit your bed's size.

No space issues?

In this case, you might consider opting for a Queen-size mattress, which offers more comfort, especially for those who move a lot while sleeping or sleep in particular positions (but it can also comfortably accommodate a couple, allowing them to sleep well in a smaller space!).

The size of this mattress is in the middle between single and double: 120x190 cm.

What matters most… is the thickness!

What really impacts comfort, aside from the dimensions, is the thickness: this is a different discussion because, from a regulatory standpoint, there is no specific indication about how thick a mattress should be.

We can say that the most common thickness is about 20 cm, although this can vary depending on the country of production. For example, mattresses in the United States tend to be much thicker, and this trend has also reached Europe, not because of "fashion," but for reasons of quality. A good memory foam mattress, in fact, is at least 23 cm thick.

The reason is simple: a thicker mattress is made of several layered and combined materials and is designed to increase comfort, provided it also has other features regarding structure, materials and so on.
