Sleep of good quality and the right duration is essential to health. Insufficient sleep is linked to a variety of chronic conditions, so along with diet and exercise, it’s one of the fundamentals of well-being.
One of the vital ingredients for a good night’s sleep is using the best mattress for your bed, whether you sleep alone or with a partner. Kids, too, need an appropriate mattress for every stage of their young lives.
To ensure you can select the correct mattress for your own bed and the other bedrooms in your home, we’ve put together a guide to mattress sizes along with advice on what you need to consider when selecting to optimize the quality of sleep.

The mattress isn’t one of the bed ideas that contribute to the style of the room, but it is an absolutely crucial buy for any bedroom because the wrong choice can result in discomfort and poor-quality sleep.
And that doesn’t just mean you won’t feel well-rested in the morning. ‘Insufficient sleep has been linked to the development and management of a number of chronic diseases and conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression,’ says the CDC(opens in new tab) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Vital to helping every member of the family obtain sufficient quality sleep is getting the right size mattress. ‘The size of mattress you need is determined by the size and number of people who sleep on the mattress, the size of bedroom, and the furnishings used in your bedroom,’ explains Dr. Leona Hawks, home furnishings and housing specialist at Utah State University Extension(opens in new tab).

The width of the bed should allow space for your pillow and enough room to put your elbows in the back of your head without touching your partner or going beyond the edge of the mattress,’ says Dr. Hawks.
In this guide, we’ve provided the details on standard mattress sizes so you can get the right fit. Do note, though, that before purchasing you should always check the dimensions of a mattress from your supplier as these can vary slightly. Read More…
