SIZING UP YOUR SITUATION
Beyond personal preference, there are various factors to take into account before picking a mattress size. For example: How big is your bedroom? Do you share the bed with a partner or pets? Is living space or sleeping space more important to you? We’ve illustrated all four standard mattress sizes to give you a better idea about which mattress is appropriate for you.
SHOP THE MATTRESS
SINGLE SIZE
At 3' X 6'3", a single mattress is the smallest bed on the market. Its compact footprint means it's ideal for children and single adults. A single is also great for individuals with small living spaces, such as studio apartments.Ideal for: children, guest rooms and attic rooms
SMALL DOUBLE SIZE
At 4' X 6'3", a smal double mattress is wider than a single bed but smaller in width than a double.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. Ideal for: teenagers, guest rooms and attic rooms
DOUBLE SIZE
At 4'6 X 6'3", a double mattress is the perfect sleeping solution for couples. This size allows for a good amount of space, so each person can get an undisturbed night's sleep. Double is often the most popular size of mattress because it provides enough space for two people to sleep comfortably but doesn’t require a huge bed which may feel too big in the bedroom.Popular with individuals/couples moving into a new flat with limited room.
KING SIZE
At 5' X 6'6", a king mattress is Great if you like plenty of sleeping room; having a king size bed means 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 size mattress.Suitable for especially tall or large people or couples who like lots of space to move in their sleep.Ideal for: master bedrooms.
