Sizes of one and a half mattresses

No matter how high-quality and expensive the mattress is, its parameters must exactly match the sleeping place (bed, sofa), otherwise discomfort is inevitable. That is why the size of the mattress is one of the important selection criteria.

Mattresses, like other sleeping accessories, are of three types - single, one-and-a-half and double. It is the one-and-a-half models that are in great demand, since they are suitable for a comfortable sleep for both one person and two.

Marking in domestic, European and American products is radically different, since different units of measurement are used - inches and centimeters. The best option is to purchase a sleeping structure and a mattress from one factory or one country of origin.

If this is not possible, then it is necessary to use the standard indicators for 1.5-bedroom designs, while clearly knowing the dimensions of the bed or sofa. One and a half mattresses are optimal for sleeping one person weighing more than 90 kg, as well as for a couple with an average build.

A one and a half mattress has certain standards, which are adhered to by almost all manufacturers:

• 120x190;
• 120x195;
• 120x200;
• 130x190;
• 130x200;
• 140x190;
• 140x195;
• 140x200 cm.

In addition, a number of European and domestic factories offer products with a width of 110 cm and 100 cm, but this is less common and refers to non-standard parameters. The most popular in the category of one-and-a-half mats are products 140x200 and 120x190 cm.

When a bed and a mattress are bought at the same time, it will not be difficult to find a product for sleeping. It is more difficult when a new sleeping place is purchased on a bed or sofa, bought a long time ago. Before choosing and buying a new one and a half mattress, it is necessary to measure the berth.

For this, the length and width of the bed on the inside are measured using a measuring tape. The width / length indicators taken in the center of the structure will be as correct as possible. When determining the size of the mattress, it is not recommended to build on the parameters of the old product, since it has been deformed during operation and has changed slightly.

The length of the product is also determined taking into account the height of the person. If the height is up to 175 cm, then the optimal mattress will be 190 cm long. For people whose height is 180 cm and above, it is necessary to buy products 200 cm long. The width is selected taking into account the person's complexion, as well as how the person likes to sleep.

Mattresses, along with height and width, have a height standard.

• For spring structures, the standard thickness is considered to be 20-35 cm.Among the premium-class models, there are products up to 50 cm high.
• For springless products, the standard is 5-25 cm. Thin mats with a height of 2-10 cm are ideal for leveling the surfaces of old sofas, folding beds or beds.

The height of the child's frameless mat is 6-13 cm, and the spring mat is 15-18 cm. When choosing a mattress model, you should remember that the deviation from the parameters of the sleeping structure (bed or sofa) should not exceed 1-1.5 cm.

When choosing a one-and-a-half mattress, which is enough for two for a comfortable sleep and rest, not only the width and length, but also the height (thickness) of the product are taken into account. A properly fitted mattress should rise above the bed box. Experts recommend purchasing a structure that will be at least 8-10 cm higher than the side of the bed. The thicker the person, the higher the product he needs.The standard mattress height assumes a load of up to 110 kg per bed.
