Products with what parameters are presented on the market? How to choose the mattress size for a new and old bed? And how to find the perfect mattress for a child? We have prepared for you the most complete answers to these and other questions.

How to avoid a common mistake

One of the most common mistakes is trying to purchase a mattress from a European manufacturer for a bed manufactured according to United States standards. The fact is that in Europe and America it is accepted different types markings: centimeters and inches. If we recalculate the dimensions of a “king” mattress 80 by 78 inches, we get in centimeters a little more than 203 and 198. This model will not fit standard European premium beds measuring 2 by 2 m.

The ideal option would be to purchase a bed along with a mattress. True, this is not always possible, because you may be satisfied with the quality and design of the furniture, but at the same time you will not like the characteristics and comfort of the sleeping place. In this case It is recommended to choose products from one country of origin.

The most fastidious customers can order a mattress from the factory according to individual measurements.

Standard sizes of orthopedic mattresses

For adults

There is a huge range of standard mattress sizes on the market.

With a length of 190, 195 or 200 cm, their width is:

• single – 80 cm;
• one-and-a-half-sleeping – 120 cm;
• double – 140, 160, 180, 190, 195, 200 cm.

A simple experiment will help you determine a comfortable size. You need to lie down on the mattress, and its length should exceed your height by 15-20 cm, and you should be able to walk freely in width with your arms bent at the elbows.

For children

For newborns and older children, mattresses are manufactured to strict standards. First of all, we are talking about environmental friendliness of the materials used and high orthopedic effect. The standard size of a children's mattress in a crib for a newborn is 60 by 120 cm. These parameters can be increased if you need to choose a mattress for an older child. Maximum width – 80 cm, length – 160 cm.

Orthopedic mattresses of non-standard sizes

Non-standard models are those made to order, as well as those that have a non-rectangular shape. Round products have their own size range:

• small – diameter 2 m;
• medium – diameter 2.2 m;
• large – diameter from 2.3 m.

Most manufacturers are willing to fulfill special orders, producing mattresses in exact accordance with the parameters specified by the customer, and also producing oval or curly models. This option will cost 5-10% more, but you can choose the type of filler and the number of its layers, upholstery materials, as well as the type of construction (with or without springs).

There are also rectangular mattresses with non-standard sizes, for example Pasteur orthopedic mattresses, but about them in another review.

Thickness of orthopedic mattresses

Another parameter to consider is thickness. The height of a springless children's mattress can range from 6 to 13 cm, a mattress with spring block– up to 18 cm and more. Some cribs are only suitable for mattresses of a certain thickness, and you should pay attention to this by studying the information in the furniture passport.

Depending on the type of filler and design, adult mattresses can have a thickness from 5 to 50 cm. The height of springless models for adults is from 15 to 24 m, spring ones - from 18 to 32 cm.

For an average weight person a model with a height of 16-18 cm will be comfortable. Many experts, however, claim that the higher the mattress, the more comfortable it is.

A thick mattress will most likely be more comfortable, because it has an increased number of filler layers, which means the anatomical and orthopedic effects are improved.

Mattresses below 15 cm are only suitable as a base for a temporary sleeping place or as an addition to the main mattress of a sofa or bed.

How to determine the mattress size for an old bed

It’s good if the passport for the bed has been preserved. From it you can quickly find out the exact dimensions of the sleeping place. But what to do if the documents for the furniture are lost?

Determining the required parameters by taking measurements from an old mattress is not the best solution. During operation, it could cake so much that it was significantly deformed and changed in size. If you do not have a passport for the bed, where the dimensions of the sleeping place are indicated, you can measure them yourself. To do this you will need a tape measure, which you need to place along the inner perimeter.

Try to choose a mattress that will exactly match the dimensions of the sleeping area. If it turns out to be 2-3 centimeters larger, this is not critical, because it will still be possible to lay it on the base. But due to friction, the service life of the mattress upholstery and the product itself will be significantly reduced.

The sizes and prices of orthopedic mattresses are directly related: the larger the size, the more expensive the mattress. The cost of the product, however, is significantly influenced by the type of construction and materials used, so not only a well-chosen size will be the key to purchasing a comfortable mattress.

The choice of mattresses in specialized stores is simply huge. They are made from a variety of materials and have specific sizes. If the buyer has little experience, then most likely he will have difficulty deciding which mattress to buy for his bed. Of course, you can turn to consultants for help, but not all stores employ knowledgeable people who can give practical advice. For example, when choosing, you should know the standard sizes of mattresses for the bed so that a serious mistake does not occur.

When the mattress and bed fit perfectly together in size, you don’t even notice it, but simply enjoy a comfortable and restful sleep. As soon as any discrepancies occur, it immediately becomes noticeable. For example, a mattress that is too large becomes deformed and develops lumps, which, of course, interfere with your sleep. If the mattress is small, then there are gaps at the edges of the bed. It doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing, the bed linen doesn’t hold up, and sometimes arms and legs fall into these holes. Therefore, you should not make a purchase at random, so as not to be disappointed in the future.

What you need to know

What types of mattresses are there and how not to make a mistake in choosing? First of all, you should consider that products from Europe are different from those made in the USA. This is due to the fact that different markings are used on mattresses - in European countries, centimeters, in America - inches. This is where difficulties arise, since if you buy a German bed, you certainly won’t be able to find the perfect mattress from the USA. It will either be too big or too small - there will definitely be no third option here.

For example, you decide to buy a standard King size bed in Russia, the width of which is exactly 2 meters. A mattress from the USA of the same size will be 80 inches, which when converted into centimeters is 203 centimeters and a couple more millimeters. The difference is small, but still critical. These three centimeters will ruin the shape of the product, which will ultimately affect the quality of your sleep.

To avoid such problems, you should buy a bed and mattress from the same manufacturer. If suddenly for some reason this is impossible to do, choose products from at least one country. This approach will eliminate all chances of error, and the couple will match just perfectly. Another option is to order the product according to individual measurements. Many companies provide such services, although their prices are quite high.

For adults

Rectangular mattresses can have a length of 190, 195 and 200 centimeters. These parameters are the same everywhere. Products differ in their width.

• For single beds, you can buy models whose width is 80 centimeters.
• One-and-a-half-sleeper - 120 centimeters.
• Double mattresses can be different - the most ordinary and very large. But even here there are certain standards. The smallest mattresses are 140 cm wide; the larger ones are 160 and 180 cm, and the largest ones are 190–200 cm. It is the easiest model to choose for a double bed.

Children's

For children's beds, mattresses are purchased in slightly different sizes, which means that the standards here are different. For example, models that are only 120 centimeters long are suitable for newborns. At the same time, their width is 60 cm. For older children, the sizes are slightly larger - 140x70. But these are not all the options, as some manufacturers produce mattresses in non-standard sizes. In some cases, models have a length from 120 to 160 centimeters, and a width from 60 to 80. This must be taken into account and carefully study the parameters before making a purchase.

How to choose?

You already understand that you need to choose a mattress based on the size of the bed; this is a prerequisite. The two products must fit each other perfectly so as not to be damaged. appearance and comfortable sleep. Here, by the way, you need to take into account not only the width and length, but also the height of the model so that the mattress does not turn out to be too low. If you need to buy a product for an old bed, you will have to measure its height inside using a tape measure. This is not difficult to do. Just don’t take measurements from the old mattress: the result will be inaccurate, because over the years of its service it has shrunk and sagged very much.

Keep in mind that almost all beds are designed for mattresses 2 meters long. There are, of course, exceptions, but they are not very common.

In order for you to sleep comfortably on the bed, the mattress should be about 15 centimeters larger than your height. That is, if your height is, for example, 170 cm, then a product with a length of 190 cm is suitable.

When choosing a mattress by width, things are somewhat simpler. You should be guided by what model your bed has. The size of a double mattress varies from 1.4 to 2 meters in increments of 20 centimeters. Despite this run-up, there is also its own standard - 160 centimeters. Beds of this width are most common.

Height

Now you know about standard mattress sizes. It is worth paying special attention to such a parameter as height. For the most part, this criterion depends on personal preferences, but still the product should rise at least a couple of centimeters above the base of the bed. This parameter is most relevant to orthopedic mattresses, the requirements for which are much higher.

You should familiarize yourself with the main nuances.

• If the products do not have springs, then their height is usually about 16 centimeters. This is the average setting. There are thinner or thicker models (up to 24 centimeters). Very thin products - their thickness is from 2 to 11 centimeters - are unlikely to be used independently. They are only suitable as a supplement if, for example, the springs on an old mattress have been pressed through and it has simply lost its original shape.
• Products with springs usually have a height of around 20-22 centimeters. Models over 32 centimeters are considered elite - they can only be purchased in specialized stores at a fairly high price.

Non-standard options

If you want something unusual, then you can order a custom-sized bed and a mattress for it. For example, it is now very fashionable to install huge round beds in your bedrooms. Unfortunately, such models are extremely rare in ordinary stores. Therefore, if you want something exotic, you will have to find companies that make custom mattresses.

The Miss Clean resource recommends that you very carefully choose a company that will take on such an unusual task. Individual production is not cheap, so you don’t want to make a mistake and end up with something completely different from what you wanted.

Always remember that in addition to size, the quality of mattresses also plays a huge role. They are ordinary and not very expensive, as well as orthopedic. Experts recommend not to save money, but to choose only really high-quality models that will give you a sound sleep. If the mattress is chosen incorrectly, you will feel uncomfortable sleeping, and you will probably develop some health problems in the future. Give preference to proven brands that have been on the market for several years. Be sure to carefully read the reviews and only then make an informed decision. This is especially true for models for children, because their musculoskeletal system is not yet formed.

Details Here

Choosing a mattress is a responsible matter, in which the main determining criteria are its proportions:

• thickness,
• length,
• width.

Firstly, it should be remembered that the width and length of the mattress must fully correspond to the length and width of the bed. If you choose a mattress that exceeds the parameters of the bed, it will cause significant discomfort to its owner. There is also a high risk in some situations of causing some harm to health by partially bending the mattress.

If the mattress turns out to be smaller than the size of the bed, then constant shifts will also affect the comfort of its use.

Regardless of the manufacturer and type of mattress, they have standard sizes. And they depend on whether the mattress is for an adult or for a child.

Dimensions

Adult mattresses are divided into single, double and one-and-a-half size. These mattresses have the following standard sizes:

• 70 x 160,
• 80 x 160,
• 70 x 200,
• 80 x 200,
• 90 x 200,
• 120 x 200,
• 140 x 200,
• 160 x 200,
• 180 x 200,
• 200 x 200.

Children's mattresses have standard sizes:

• 60 x 140,
• 70 x 140.

Some of the most popular mattress sizes are:

• 90 x 190,
• 140 x 190,
• 160 x 200,
• 180 x 200,
• 200 x 200 centimeters.

Moreover, beds with such dimensions (200 x 200) can be found on sale more often than others.

If we take into account English, Australian, as well as American mattresses and beds, it is easy to notice that in their production they are radically different from our standards.

Not everyone knows that those companies that occupy leading positions in the production of mattresses also provide consumers with the opportunity to personally choose the necessary parameters for the mattress.

This custom order service is very relevant in cases where the range offered in stores does not match your furniture. If it is also made to order and is an exclusive home decor project. In such cases, all dimensions, from width to thickness, are discussed with the manufacturers. And they are made, having previously measured, all the necessary sides of the bed itself.

How to choose the height of a mattress?

When choosing the height of a mattress, a person, without realizing it, personally determines its quality and durability from the orthopedic side of all characteristics. The height itself depends entirely on the purpose for which the mattress is purchased. And also on what is chosen as its filler. Standard mattresses used for a child's bed tend to be much lower in height compared to an adult mattress. So, the average size of a children's mattress can be from 4 to 15 centimeters in height.

The material that is used in addition to its own weight, to give the mattress more rigidity, or vice versa, to make it soft, is called mattress covers. Such mattress covers have their own thickness and can be up to 3 centimeters. But the thickness of adult mattresses, which do not contain a spring structure, starts from 15 to 18 centimeters. Spring mattresses are an order of magnitude thicker than springless ones, and contain from 18 to 24 centimeters.

When choosing not only a comfortable, but also a reliable sleeping place, you should first of all find out what material was used as a filler. After all, the weight of the product and its properties depend on this.

Also, the higher the mattress, the stronger its base should be. And accordingly, if the mattress has a heavy filling, then some beds simply won’t stand it. And the risk of breakdown increases sharply.

A mattress for adults, according to generally accepted opinion, should be much thicker than a mattress for children. If children's beds have several tiers, then the determining criterion in choosing a mattress will be the size of the sides when placing the mattress on the upper tier, or in the lower drawer.

If the mattress is placed on the upper tier, its height should be at least 15 centimeters lower than the height of the side backrests. To prevent the child from slipping out of bed.

And in the case of a sliding wardrobe, the height of the mattress should not exceed the depth of the drawer, otherwise it simply will not close.

In order for a person to feel good throughout the day, he needs complete and high-quality sleep. And a comfortable bed, properly selected bedding, and, of course, the most important thing - a mattress help to ensure this. It depends only on him whether the person will be able to relax as she should, or whether the springs or the uncomfortable frame will bother her all night. Therefore, purchasing this accessory should not be taken lightly.

Buying a mattress today is not difficult. When going to the store, study detailed information about the choice of such products: what should be the standard sizes of mattresses, which filling is better, which upholstery fabric will last longer, and similar things. But you can also order the product on the Internet; many virtual establishments offer their services (“We need to sleep”, “Ascona”, “Matres.ru”, “Dormeo”, etc.)

How the mattress came to be

Even in ancient times, people paid attention to how useful a properly made mattress is. The first man began to equip his home with what he had at hand: leaves and branches. But sleeping on such “featherbeds” was not the best: after all, the branches kept pricking the body, and since the floors of the caves were cold, resting on them often led to colds. Over time, ordinary people began to use animal skins and straw. But it was impossible to assemble and move it to where it should be in one moment. And if the reader remembers, the ancient people led a nomadic life that required constant moving.

Well, Homo sapiens would not be a reasonable person if he could not think. Therefore, the user quickly realized that it was better to make soft padding inside rather than outside. Thanks to this discovery, the mattress took modern look. And now we know what standard sizes of mattresses are, and how to choose a product, and which manufacturer is considered the most reliable.

Size and filling

Often the user wonders what standard ones exist. But this is not an entirely correct formulation of the question. After all, beds come in single, double and single beds. Therefore, it is much more correct to ask about the standard parameters of a one-and-a-half mattress. To which the experts will immediately give you the answer: one meter forty centimeters by two meters. Or what is the standard size? What will be the approval - 160 centimeters x 200 centimeters or 180 centimeters x 200 centimeters. Well, the standard size of a single mattress is 90 centimeters x 2 meters; an option of 80 centimeters x 2 meters is also possible.

The mattress filler does not depend on the parameters of your bed. Here everything is considered from a cost point of view. Therefore, there are expensive and inexpensive fillers. The first type includes fillers with natural materials, while inexpensive products are filled with synthetic elements.

Filling options

So, in order to fill a mattress, you can use the following types of fillers:

• Natural latex - this material is made from rubber sap which is foamed using a special method.
• Artificial or piece latex is a more elastic and rigid material than its predecessor.
• Cotton - the main ingredient of this filler is natural pressed cotton.
• Coconut fiber is the best material for making orthopedic mattresses.
• Sheep wool - such a filler can perfectly warm and absorb moisture on its own.
• Polyurethane foam is an artificial material with excellent elasticity.

As you can see, the standard sizes of mattresses do not affect the choice of their fillings.

How to choose the right mattress

To make it comfortable to sleep on a mattress, you need to decide on its parameters. Standard sizes of mattresses for beds can be two meters by one meter forty centimeters, and two meters by one meter eighty centimeters, and two meters by ninety centimeters, and even one meter ninety centimeters by one meter eighty centimeters, and other very different sizes. Therefore, the exact size of the product is very important, because if it is smaller or larger than the base of the bed, then it will be uncomfortable to rest on it.

The level of firmness of the mattress is also important. If you weigh less than 60 kg, then a soft mattress is suitable for you, but if when weighing you see a figure ranging from 60 to 95 kg, then it is better for you to give preference to a product of medium hardness. Well, a hard mattress should be purchased by those consumers who weigh over 90 kg.

Despite the standard sizes of bed mattresses, they can be both hard and soft. These are the so-called combined models. They are suitable when people of different weights will sleep on the mattress. Therefore, on the one hand, such mattresses are made more rigid, and on the other, softer.

Children's mattresses

Standard mattresses have three options: 1 meter 20 centimeters x 60 centimeters, 1 meter 40 centimeters x 60 centimeters and 1 meter 40 centimeters x 70 centimeters. Accordingly, the parameters are selected depending on the length and width of the crib. But a very important criterion for purchasing a mattress for the smallest sleepyhead is the product’s filler. For children's mattresses, coconut fiber, latex or polyurethane foam are used.

All pediatricians insist on purchasing coconut products. After all, they can boast of undeniable advantages. Firstly, they are moisture resistant, secondly, they have moderate rigidity and, thirdly, they provide an even load on the baby’s spine.

If parents purchase a children's mattress with latex filling, then they should know that such a product easily restores its shape, has antibacterial and antifungal properties, is an enemy for microscopic mites and does not absorb moisture. Well, what can be said in favor is that they have increased level air circulation, environmentally friendly, have orthopedic properties and do not cause allergies.

Age matters

There is another criterion by which the standard sizes of children's mattresses are determined. This is the child's age. If your child has just been born, then until he is three years old, it is recommended that he sleep on a product whose parameters reach 60 centimeters x 120 centimeters. For children over three years old, it would be better to rest on a mat with dimensions of 70 centimeters x 160 centimeters or 80 centimeters x 2 meters. Such a mattress is used for Well, for a one-and-a-half bed on which a three-year-old (or older) child will rest, a mattress with a width of 90 centimeters, 1 meter 20 centimeters and 1 meter 40 centimeters and a length from 1 meter 60 centimeters to 2 meters is suitable.
