European mattresses tend to have an edge over British mattresses being normally 200cm in length and of slightly increased width. European mattresses are not built to UK specifications, which is why people may choose to have a bespoke bed frame made to fit their European mattress. Typically, European size mattresses are generally slightly bigger than their UK counterpart. For that little extra room to roll about in, European-size mattresses are ideal. But why are they bigger? Why can’t all mattresses sizes be the same size? Before you get too confused, allow us to explain why.
Size differences matters
Bed frames in the UK and Europe are sized differently, which means that mattresses will also have a slightly different size. Naturally, a mattress needs to fit its bed frame. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a very uncomfortable night’s sleep or you’ll be recreating the fairytale of the Princess and the Pea. European size mattresses for example will be made to measure the size of a European bed frame and vice versa.
Mattresses sold in the UK and Ireland for example are mostly constructed using metric dimensions. The UK and Ireland have a few main mattress sizes; namely single, double, king and super king. A standard double sized mattress in the UK and Ireland measures 135cm x 190cm (53″ x 75″). In continental Europe however, a standard double sized mattress will measure 140cm x 200cm (55″ x 79″). This may not seem like a lot, but a mattress that is too big or too small for your bed frame could potentially cause negative effects on the quality of your sleep.
