Bed(mattress) Size

Humans spend one-third of their time in bed, and the importance of the bed is self-evident. If you want to have a comfortable sleep, you must have a bed of the right size. It is not that the bigger the bed the better, but the size of the bedroom, the people that need to be accommodated, and the personal habits. Bed sizes and standards vary greatly across the globe, and almost every country has its standards and terminology. We have collected bed/mattress standards, terminology and sizes in major regions of the world. You can purchase beds, mattresses and sheets through these sizes.

As you can see in the list below, although the size is specified as the following half inch, the actual size used by the manufacturer or each website may be more than half an inch. When inches are converted to centimeters, it is convenient for production and may be rounded. For example, some manufacturers and websites mark beds with a length of 198 cm and 203 cm as 200 cm.
