UK Mattress Size Guide

When looking to purchase a new bed or mattress, you must always take into account the size and shape. Beds that are too small will leave uncomfortable and beds that are too big may not fit your frame or leave no space in your bedroom.

Consider: How tall are you? You may need a bed with extra legroom. It’s worth noting a king size bed is 10 cm longer than a double or single bed.

Is your bed for one or two people ? A larger bed gives you more space whilst sleeping and you are less likely to be disturbed by anyone sleeping next to you. Can you fit your choice in the room with enough circulation space ? Don’t forget to consider furniture and openings and importantly access to the room.

• Small single mattresses ideal to fit smaller bedrooms, or for smaller children.
• Single mattress size for the solo sleeper and older children.
• Double is a standard for two sleepers. A double bed gives each adult the same space to sleep as a small single or extra space for solo sleeper.
• King size mattresses offer extra space in height and length, ideal for taller people.
• Super king size mattress gives couples extended luxury, allowing both users more space to stretch out.
