Mattress Size Guide UK
Beds and mattresses come in lots of different sizes, more sizes than you'd think! Choosing the right size of mattress for you or your residents is an important decision.
There are many questions to ask yourself such as; How many people will be sleeping on it? Do you often find the need for extra space for pets or children? Will it fit my existing bed frame? Our mattress size guide will help you find the right match for your situation.
With our Mattress Size Guide, you can get your mattress size correct first time round. Avoiding delays or redelivery fees, you or your residents can enjoy a great night's sleep right away.
Bed and mattress sizes are not universal and there are many different terms for different sized beds and mattresses.
Names such as 'King' or 'Queen' to refer to sizes, but the actual dimensions of these beds can differ from country to country.
UK Mattress Sizes

European Mattress Sizes
Some European based furniture retailers manufacturer mattresses that do not fit standard UK sizes and require custom European sized mattresses.
It's always worth finding out where the bed was purchased from. If it's from somewhere like IKEA, then a standard UK size might not fit and you will need a European sized mattress instead.
