Not measuring your bed correctly can be one of the biggest mistakes you can make before purchasing a mattress. Most standard US bed sizes are the same size as the mattress or are .5 inches longer. This can change depending on the design or on the brand that you are purchasing your mattress and bed from.
| King Size Bed | 76.5” x 80.5” | 194.5 x 204.5 cm |
| Cal King Size Bed | 72.5” x 84.5” | 184 x 214.5 cm |

Measuring your bed before buying the mattress is an important step in the process.
If you purchase the bed and the mattress from the same brand, this may not be a problem. Take a look above at the mattress size chart to see the difference between us and other brands.
If you are confused about the different sizes of beds or mattress sizes to choose from, follow these guidelines.
The best options are a Full, a Queen, or a Twin XL mattress depending on personal preferences or the space available.
A Queen, a King, or a California king mattress can work wonderfully. Depending on how much space each individual wants or how tall the couple is, one of the three sizes can comfortably accommodate two people.
A smaller size, such as a Full size mattress, can be removed from the list.
Depending on the age or the height of your child you can choose between a Twin, a Twin XL, or a Full size mattress. A Twin or Twin XL mattress can be used by children growing out of their cribs whereas a Full size mattress is great for children who are in their late teens or early adulthood.
If you are parents to either a child or a pet and want to share the bed with them, a King or a Cal King size are the best options. For single parents, a Queen or a Full size mattress can comfortably fit both you and your child.
Transporting mattresses can be a challenge, especially through narrow staircases or through small doorways. Check if your bedroom is easily accessible or not. King size or California King size mattresses are bulky and heavy making them hard to transport between rooms or houses. Queen and smaller sizes are easier to move around, even in small spaces. Consider where your bedroom is before making the final decision.
The rule of the thumb is that the bigger the mattress the more expensive it will be. However, this can change depending on the brand, the material, and the technology behind it.
Generally, a spring mattress is cheaper than memory foam or latex mattresses because latex and memory foam mattresses are more durable and support the sleeper’s body better. If spine health is one of your concerns then you should check out our range of memory foam mattresses and pillows.

Crib size mattresses are 28 inches wide and 50 inches long (70 X 127 cms). A cribs size mattress is the smallest mattress size available in the market and is meant primarily for toddlers and small children. Because of its small dimensions, it can easily fit into a children’s room. It can also be placed in the same room as yours if the bedroom is large.
A small single bed is a narrow long bed which is 30 inches wide and 75 inches long (75 X 190 cms). It is a good fit for children’s beds that are narrow with extra length for tall teens. They can also be used for the spare room in your house and can be used to set up a lounging space in the house.
An Olympic queen size mattress is 66 inches wide and 80 inches long (168 X 201 cms). It is wider than a standard Queen size mattress by 6 inches. Because it is an uncommon size, accessorizing it or finding a bed frame for it can be challenging. This size is a great choice for couples who want bigger space than a queen offers but have a relatively smaller bedroom. This size lies somewhere between a king and a queen and is a good fit for the master bedroom of the house.
A Split King mattress is 38 inches wide and 80 inches long individually (99.06 x 203.5cms) and 74 by 80 inches (183 cm x 213.5 cm) when placed together. It is called a split king as it is the same dimensions as a king size mattress, but is split in the middle to allow couples with different sleeping preferences to sleep together. It is used with an adjustable bed frame and can be installed easily. It limits motion transfer to a very large extent, helping light sleepers fall asleep easily.
