Mattress Size Guide

Choosing the Right Size

Finding the perfect mattress starts with knowing who will use it and how much space you have. A mattress that’s too small is one of the most common shopping mistakes, especially for couples.

For example, a full-size bed gives each sleeper about the same space as a baby’s crib, while a king might be too large for smaller bedrooms or tricky stairways. Measure your space before buying to make sure your mattress fits both your needs and your room.

ENSURE THE PERFECT FIT

Verify Your Frame

If using an existing bed frame, measure the inside dimensions to ensure it fits modern standard mattress sizes.

Check Total Height

Add the mattress height to your bed frame height. Ensure the total setup isn’t too tall (or short) for your needs.

Sleeptronic tip:

Small gaps between the mattress and bed frame are normal due to construction variations.
