While at home, everyone dreams of relaxing, taking a break from work and an eventful life. A sleeping place should allow you to sleep comfortably or just spend time. Its structure must be treated with special care. The most important element of a bed is the mattress. Not only its design and filling, but also its size affects the quality of sleep and comfort.
Bed mattress sizes
Types of mattresses
Of course, when installing individually designed beds in the bedroom, the design and size of which correspond to the personal requirements and ideas about the comfort of the homeowners, it is possible to order a mattress. However, most often you have to rely on the standard parameters of these products. It is also important that bedding sets are produced to fit the dimensions of the most commonly found models.
The sizes of mattresses on the bed are usually standard, but they depend on the sleeping place itself
There are various types of mattresses available that can be intended for use by children or adults.

The current standard (GOST 19301.3*2016) establishes the minimum sizes of beds installed for children. Newborn babies and babies under 3 years old need structures with dimensions of at least 600 x 1200 mm. For children aged 3 to 7 years, it is expected to use sleeping places measuring at least 600 x 1400 mm. Of course, private farms usually adhere to individual standards, but current standards should be taken into account.
The most popular mattress size for babies aged 0...3 years is 600 x 1200 mm. At the same time, products with other parameters are also produced: 500 x 1000 mm or 700 x 1400 mm. The latter option can also be used for children’s sleep in the future. The spine of babies is not yet formed, so it is important to pay attention to the characteristics of the base. The mattress must be hard (it is better to use models without spring blocks). Its thickness should not exceed 100...120 mm.
The dimensions of the mattress must correspond to the internal dimensions of the crib, that is, the dimensions of the sleeping place
Older children need more space. Usually after three years they sleep in a crib that will serve them for many years. The width of mattresses must exceed 700 mm, and their length - 1400 mm. The optimal size of a sleeping place that can be used for sleeping by a teenager is considered to be 800 x 1900 mm. It is recommended to choose orthopedic models with a height of 200 to 250 mm.

One of the mattress options for a double bed
Today, a classification of mattresses and beds is accepted depending on the width of the bed.
| Type of mattress | Size (width/length), mm |
| Single | 800 (900) x 1900 (2000) |
| One and a half | 1200 x 1900 (2000) |
| Double | 1400…2000 x 1900…2000 |
| Family | 1800 (2000) x 1900 (2000) |
One-and-a-half mattresses are perfect for creating a sleeping place for one person. You can sleep on them together, but such a vacation cannot be called comfortable. For a double bed, the most common product size is 1600 x 2000 mm. If there is a small child in the family who is used to sleeping with their parents, a family sleeping place would be an excellent option.
If children like to sleep with their parents, it is worth ordering a wide non-standard mattress
Important! It is not difficult to purchase bedding for all standard mattress sizes.
Mattresses for circle-shaped beds
Today, many people like to equip their bedroom with a custom-shaped bed. For any design, ordering a suitable mattress is not so difficult. For circle-shaped beds, standard models of various diameters are produced (2000 mm for single beds, 2200 for one-and-a-half beds and from 2300 mm for double beds).

The most popular mattress sizes
The first place in popularity is occupied by a double mattress measuring 160x200 (1600x2000). This can be said to be a standard double bed.
Following it are single sizes: 80x190, 80x200 and 90x190. If the mattress is single, then these are the dimensions that are usually asked. With a slight lag comes the size 90x200.
Rounding out the so-called “hit parade of sizes” are single and double sizes: 120x190, 140x200, 180x200, 200x200
Please note, despite the fact that length 195 cm is standard - it is not popular, and length 190 is popular only with a certain width, the leader, of course, is length 200 cm.
Features of choosing a product by size
Length
The main accepted requirement is that the length of the ordered mattress must exceed the height of the person who will use it by at least 150 mm.
You should choose a mattress taking into account your own height
Failure to comply with this condition will not allow you to create comfortable sleeping conditions. It is unlikely that you will be able to stretch out and relax on such a bed. Following this rule, for people whose height is 1750 mm, the minimum length of the mattress is 1900 mm. The most common length today is 2000 mm.
Height
There is a wide range of mattresses of different heights on the market. When choosing a base, you need to focus on the design of the bed (the mattress must be at least 100 mm higher than its sides), the health status of those who will use the bed (models of varying hardness are available) and your own ideas about comfort. An important aspect is the person’s weight. For heavier people, you should purchase thicker mattresses.
When choosing the height of a mattress, they are guided by their own weight and feeling of comfort.
Products can be springless (their height varies between 150...240 mm) and equipped with spring blocks (height 200...300 mm). In the first case, the most common size is 160 mm in height, in the second - 220 mm. If desired, you can order a product with a height of 500 mm, but it will be quite expensive.
Thinner mattresses (up to 100 mm) are most often used as mattress toppers or to equip sofas.
Thin hard mattress
Width
When purchasing a bed and mattress, it is important to consider not only the current state of affairs, but also the possibility of changes in the future. This will allow you not to purchase new, expensive furniture in case of a change in status.
When considering mattress options, you should focus on how many people will sleep on the bed, their build, and their sleep behavior. If a person sleeps restlessly and often turns around, it will not be at all comfortable for his other half to spend time on a single-and-a-half bed.
The width of the berth should be sufficient for a relaxing rest
Finding the right size mattress is not that difficult. Almost all manufacturers produce products whose size range varies in increments of 50 mm. If necessary, everyone has the opportunity to order a product according to individual parameters, paying very little extra (up to 10% of the cost).
Children's mattresses
A good mattress is an important guarantee of a restful sleep for children. Nothing should irritate them. Therefore, a properly selected mattress will help keep the child’s spine in the desired position. The minimum width of a children's mattress in most cases is 60 cm, and the maximum width is 80 cm. Children grow quickly, so as they age they need a larger bed. From 5-7 years old you can buy a standard single mattress, like for an adult. It will be convenient due to its large area. Besides, children like adult things.

When choosing a mattress for a bed, you must remember that human health largely depends on the quality and size of this product. It is purchased to be used for many years, so it is important not to be lazy and choose a model that is most suitable for its characteristics.
How to choose a standard size mattress
The concept of a “standard mattress” is conditional, since no standards are established by law or in any other way. Conventionally, the standard size of a single bed is 90*200 cm, and a double bed is 160*200 cm.
Don't forget that the mattress is not the whole bed. You also need a bed frame with a base on which the mattress will rest. In most cases, you already have a bed, so choose the appropriate mattress size. It is important that the bed and mattress match in size. If the deviation in length or width exceeds a few centimeters, this will interfere with sleep and eventually damage the product.
Types of double mattresses
The two most basic types of double mattresses are innerspring and non-spring mattresses. Moreover, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Spring models are also divided into 2 categories:
- With dependent spring block;
- With independent spring block.
It is believed that the more springs in the model, the stronger the orthopedic properties of the mattress. Therefore, doctors recommend that people with spinal diseases sleep on such mattresses.
A dependent spring block is formed from springs in the form of cones, united with each other by frames. This is one of the most inexpensive and widespread mattress production technologies. The advantages of this model lie mainly in price, as well as in the orthopedic effect and high strength that can withstand enormous loads. Its main disadvantages are the high probability of rust, the accumulation of dirt, dust, germs, and insects. Some experts also believe that such structures attract and accumulate electromagnetic waves inside, which negatively affect the human body. In addition, such models are not durable: over time, they begin to creak and sag.
An independent spring block is formed from many springs wrapped in their own soft bags that prevent friction of the structure (and, accordingly, squeaks). The number of turns of each individual spring (from 6 to 9 pieces) determines the comfort of the mattress. The more turns the better. In addition to noiselessness, this mattress design provides a stronger orthopedic effect compared to a dependent spring block. The service life of such a product usually exceeds 10 years and at the same time its price is much more pleasant than that of a non-spring mattress. However, just like the previous version, it accumulates dust, dirt and electromagnetic waves, and also rusts.
The main component of a non-spring mattress is its filling. Good manufacturers make models from coconut fiber, as well as sea grass, horsehair, latex and foam rubber. At the same time, several different materials can be combined in one mattress, alternating with each other. Such models provide the highest degree of comfort due to the maximum orthopedic effect. They evenly support the human body, providing him with the most natural position in any pose. Such models will never creak or rust. However, they cost much more than their spring counterparts.
What types of mattress fillings are there?
The huge variety of mattress filling options can be briefly divided into the following groups: synthetic and natural. Synthetic fillers are much cheaper than their natural counterparts, however, they are not as high quality.
| Material | Characteristic | Filler type |
| Natural latex | It is extracted from the sap of the rubber tree (hevea), and then whipped using modern technology. This material is very elastic and can withstand enormous loads. | Natural |
| Artificial latex | An environmentally friendly material with a higher degree of rigidity and ductility. Not harmful to health. | Artificial |
| Coconut fiber | A material made by nature. It is ideal for orthopedic models. Its important feature is the ability to “breathe”. Coconut mattresses are often used in cribs for newborns. More details here. | Natural |
| Polyurethane foam | Eco-friendly filler, quite elastic. It can last for a very long period without losing its initial properties. Hypoallergenic. Polyurethane foam mattresses 10 cm are especially in demand. | Artificial |
| Cotton | Natural material that allows air to pass through well. Ideal for any time of year. | Natural |
| Sheep's wool | This material absorbs moisture and dries on its own. Very warm, suitable for winter time. | Natural |
Today, manufacturers have significantly expanded the list of possible fillers. Recent developments have designed fillings that can mold to the shape of the human body, providing maximum comfort.
