There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep. Waking up feeling rested and refreshed and ready to start the day is a priceless feeling. There are many factors that go into determining whether your sleep will be good or not, from your bedding to the light and sound that is coming into your room at night, to whether or not you sleep beside a partner and how well he or she sleeps. Another thing that also affects how well we sleep is the size of our mattress, and it’s important to make sure you are sleeping on the right sized mattress.

So, how do you know what the best mattress size for you is?

There are a couple of things to take into account when thinking about shopping for a new mattress, both logistical and personal preference.

Things like:

• How big is your bedroom and your current bed frame, and are you ready and willing to upgrade your frame if you are changing your mattress size?
• How do you like to sleep—on your side, stomach or back? Or perhaps much to the annoyance of your partner, you like to sleep like a starfish.
• Do you toss and turn or are you a restful sleeper?
• Do you sleep alone or do you share your bed with a partner?
• How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

By knowing the answers to these questions, the closer you’ll be to figuring out which is the right mattress for you. And since mattress come in just a few standardized sizes, let’s now take a look at what the size options are from smallest to largest.

TWIN MATTRESS

Twin Mattresses measure 38 x 74 ½” or 96.5 X 189 cm. They are often called single mattresses and are mostly ideal for small children. They are also great for bunk beds or day beds. As children grow up and have growth spurts however, they will eventually require more room to move around while they sleep.

FULL MATTRESS

A full mattress measures 53 x 74 ½” or 134.5 X 189 cm. Once a child becomes a teenager or is nearing that phase of their lives, they will likely be more comfortable sleeping on a full mattress. Once a full mattress is purchased, especially for a young adult, it will likely last them for as long as they are at home and then can work well as a guest bed after that.

KING MATTRESS

A king sized mattress is 72 x 84″ or 183 x 213 cm.
