What you need to know about the size of mattresses
The correct size of the mattress is an important condition for healthy rest. After all, if it is even slightly larger, then “bumps” will form on the bed, creating discomfort, which at first may not be felt, but will make itself felt in the form of headaches and back problems. If, on the contrary, it is small, then, when used, it will slide along the base of the bed, which is also inconvenient.
By the size of the mattresses are divided into single, one and a half, double and children.
When buying, keep in mind that American manufacturers indicate dimensions in inches, and domestic manufacturers in centimeters.
Standard mattress sizes for children and adults
Among the standard sizes there are a lot of variations that will allow you to choose the right option without any problems.
- For single beds make mattresses 80 or 90 cm wide, long — 190, 195 or 200 cm.
- One and a half with a standard width of 120 cm, have a length of 190, 195 or 200 cm.
- Doubles have a width of 140, 160, 180, 190, 210 cm and a standard length of 190, 195 or 200 cm.
- Children with a width of 60, 70 or 80 cm are made 120, 140 or 160 cm long.
Teenagers buy single or one and half beds. Also sizes vary in height. Springless children's height of 6-12 cm, and adults up to 24 cm. Spring mattresses will be even thicker. Baby spring — 16-18 cm, adults — 18-32 cm. Also the height depends on the filler.
How to choose a standard size mattress
When buying a new bed, just look at the documentation or product description, it indicates all the necessary dimensions. It is important to take into account the growth of the future owner, as the length of the mattress, and, consequently, the bed directly depends on it.
For maximum convenience, a place to sleep should be at least 15 cm longer than a person’s height. Mattresses of a length of 200 cm are most in demand, they are, so to speak, universal. But if the growth of all family members does not exceed 175 cm, you can use a length of 190-195 cm.
Size in width each chooses for themselves based on personal preferences or floor space. More comfortable, even for one person, will be double beds. But if there is not enough space in the room, then you can do a half or single option.
If you just need to replace the mattress, do not rush to take measurements from the old one. During operation, it may lose its original size. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the inside of the bed and choose a mattress by this measure. If it happens that the required size does not coincide with the standard by more than 2 cm, it is better to make a feather bed for individual orders.
Also important is the location of the mattress directly in the bed frame. For more comfort, it is recommended that he “peeks” a few centimeters above the side. But for children’s bunk beds, on the contrary, the side should protrude by 15 cm to perform the function of a kind of obstacle.
What if you need a custom size mattress?
There are many cases when the dimensions of standard mattresses are not suitable. For example, if a person wants a bed in the shape of a circle, with bends, etc.
Then you have to make this piece of furniture to order. Many shops selling beds offer this service. You can contact the factory, in the furniture shop. Many firms do this kind of work. When ordering, not only the size of the product is specified, but also the filler, upholstery, spring stiffness and other points.
The difference between orthopedic models of mattresses from ordinary
Convenience and ergonomics — One of the most important criteria when choosing a mattress. You need to stop at a quality product that allows you to recuperate as much as possible during the rest. The orthopedic mattress will cope with this task better.
- Firstly, this product is developed by specialists in the field of medicine, and, therefore, is manufactured using special technologies that allow the prevention of diseases. Also used in complex treatment as prescribed by a doctor.
- Secondly, this mattress is much tougher than usual. But this is not bad, as you might think, but on the contrary is better for the body. Because thanks to this very stiffness during sleep, the load on the musculoskeletal system is evenly distributed. Normal mattress supports only the hips and shoulders, which does not allow the muscles to completely relax.
The price of an orthopedic product is naturally an order of magnitude different from the usual. But after all, nothing can replace healthy sleep. In the end, it's worth it.
