How to Measure Mattress Size for Bed?

 

Finding the perfect mattress size involves more than just grabbing a tape measure. To ensure a perfect fit, it is important to measure your bed first. Follow these steps for accurate measurements

Step 1: Remove the bed accessories

To measure your bed accurately,first, remove all sheets and blankets from the bed. Don't measure the headrest board or boundary edges where the mattress will rest. 

Step 2: Measure the Bed Frame Width (Not The Mattress !)

Clear the bed and place a measuring tape from the left corner to the right corner. Write down this measurement as the width.

Step 3: Measure the length 

Starting at the middle top of the bed, measure down to the bottom. Make sure to measure the bed cavity, not the outer edges, to ensure a snug mattress fit.

Armed with these dimensions, you can choose the perfect mattress size for your bed!

Selecting the perfect mattress is more than just recognizing the size. These are some of the important things to look out for:

1. Bedroom Room Size

Carefully take your bed room measurements to determine that the bed will fit properly with some space to move around and other furniture.

2. Bed Frame

Ensure your bed frame can accommodate the mattress size you choose without leaving any gaps.

3. Quantity of Sleepers

Take into account who will be sleeping on the mattress. If you will be having a bed sharer than a larger size such as a king or queen will be more comfortable.

If you both move a lot in bed at night, a bigger mattress can give you the room to get a comfortable night's sleep without disturbing your partner.

5. Future Needs

Think about your long-term plans, whether you want to upgrade your home or start a family, a larger mattress may be a good investment to make.

Whether you’re curling up solo on a single, sharing a double, spreading out on a queen, or luxuriating on a king, the right mattress size transforms your sleep experience. Invest in the size that suits your needs and your space, because a good night’s sleep is an investment in your health and happiness.
