Sizes of double mattresses

When arranging a bed, due attention should be paid to the choice and purchase of a mattress, which is the key to healthy sleep and good rest. The mattress is chosen according to the shape and parameters of the bed. One of the important selection criteria is precisely the size, which can be standard, non-standard, and individual. The article will focus on the size of double mattresses.

The orthopedic mattress is produced in standard parameters, and can also be made to individual sizes. The dimensions of the product must fully correspond to the sleeping structure - a bed or a sofa. It is as correct and convenient as possible to buy a bed and a mattress from one factory, but there is not always such an opportunity, so it is enough to navigate in size. The standard in double mattresses is:

• 160x190, as well as 160x195 and 160x200 cm;
• 180x190, as well as 180x195 and 180x200 cm;
• 200x200 cm.

Besides, the width can be 140, with a length of 190-220 cm, that is, 140x200, 140x190 and 140x220 cm. Products with a width of 180 cm and above are included in the category of King Size mattresses, which are ideal for families with a small child. Euro standards imply double mattresses with the smallest width 140 by 200, 160 by 200 and 160 by 220 cm. It is 160x220 and 160x200 that are considered the most demanded parameters in the products of European factories.

Non-standard, but common parameters are 180x170, 200x220, 220x220, 200x240 and 220x240 cm. Manufacturers in Russia and Europe use the usual units of measurement - the width / length of the products is presented in centimeters and in meters, and in the USA - in inches and in feet, so it is desirable that the sleeping structure and mattress have the same country of origin.

Along with standard rectangular beds, unusual square, oval and round sleeping designs, which require mattresses of the same shape, are incredibly popular. Round products are classified into small designs (single), medium (one and a half) and large designs (double). So, the standard parameter of a huge round product is considered to be a diameter of 230-240 cm.

Although impractical, round mattresses for adults are at the forefront of various design projects. Today manufacturers offer spring and frameless round mats of different heights - from the thinnest to the highest.

The height of a double mattress directly depends on the type of its base. Spring structures can be from 19 to 50 cm in height, but there are manufacturers offering premium mattresses that are 55 cm thick. Springless products are available in thicknesses from 2 to 25 cm. The thinnest mattress-toppers are ideal for smoothing the unevenness of an old sofa, ottoman or bed. Toppers are also often used as a hardness correcting coating. That is, if the mattress is too hard, then it is enough to buy a soft type topper - and the problem will be eliminated. The standard height of a product with springs is 22-25 cm, and a frameless one is 16-19 cm. When choosing a mattress for a bed, it must be borne in mind that the minimum height of the product above the sides of the sleeping structure should be 10 cm, otherwise the level of comfort and properties of the mat will be lost.

The main criterion when choosing the thickness of the mattress is the weight of the person who will sleep on it. Thin spring models with a thickness of 11-15 cm are designed for people weighing up to 60-65 kg. Springless thin mats up to 10 cm in height are less dependent on weight. If we talk about mattresses of average thickness - spring 15-32 cm and frameless 10-16 cm, then they are designed for people with an average body weight - up to 90-95 kg. If you need to remove weight restrictions, you should choose a high mattress, the thickness of which exceeds 32 cm. Some factories offer premium products that can withstand a load of 160-170 kg per bed. In addition, it is worth remembering that the height of the mat is not reflected at the level of anatomical properties, it affects how they manifest themselves, the features of manifestation.

The size of a double mattress must be correctly selected, since it depends on how comfortable, functional and safe it will be for sleeping and resting. Determining the correct size is very easy - just take into account a number of criteria:

• the height and weight of the people who will use the product;
• bed parameters.

The optimal length of the mattress is easily determined - the height of a person is + 15 cm. If the height of the user is up to 180 cm, then you can buy a product with a length of 1.95-2 m. If the height of a person is below 175 cm, then the optimal length of the mat will be 1.9 m. For too tall people are produced many models with a length of more than 2 meters.

If you are buying a mattress for a bed purchased earlier, then it is necessary to measure the sleeping structure along the inside. The length and width of the inside of the bed are the parameters of the new mat. The most accurate measurements are the middle of the bed frame. It is not recommended to take measurements on an old mattress, as it deforms over time, and this can lead to incorrect numbers. The permissible difference in measurements and a new product is a maximum of 10 mm, no more.
