What is the right size of bed and mattress to choose?

Many people choose a mattress based on the size of their bed, which makes sense if they already own a bed. But what if you are just furnishing a whole bedroom and deciding on the size of the bed? We are happy to help you with the selection of the right size directly in this article, and then you can head straight to our e-shop or store, where you can purchase both a mattress and a quality solid wooden bed or a luxurious upholstered bed.

What sizes of beds and mattresses are available?

The market for mattresses and beds today is more diverse than ever. Consumers have access to a wide range of options, from standard sizes to special extended lengths of 220 cm, catering to even the tallest users. On the other hand, there are also smaller mattresses that are ideal for children's cribs. With this expanding market comes a variety of different products that meet various needs and preferences.

Purtex certainly does not get lost in this wide selection. We offer a variety of mattress sizes that satisfy the demands of all types of customers. Among them, you will find:

• Mattress 80x200 cm (Single) – ideal for children or individuals who prefer more space to sleep.
• Mattress 90x200 cm (Single) – suitable for individuals seeking enough space for comfortable sleep.
• Mattress 100x200 cm (Single) – provides slightly more space for an individual and could be suitable for smaller rooms.
• Mattress 120x200 cm (Twin) – ideal for individuals who occasionally need more space, or for occasional overnight stays of two people.
• Mattress 140x200 cm (Double) – a great choice for couples who do not have a lot of space but want to enjoy sleeping together.
• Mattress 160x200 cm (Queen) – ideal for couples who prefer more space and comfort while sleeping.
• Mattress 180x200 cm (King) – perfect for couples looking for maximum comfort and space each night.
• Mattress 200x200 cm (Super King) – the best choice for a marital bed for those who have ample space in their bedroom and want to truly stretch out while sleeping.

In addition to these standard sizes, Purtex also offers the option to produce custom-sized mattresses, which includes atypical sizes tailored to your needs.

If you have specific requests, such as an extended or widened bed (e.g. 200x220), or prefer a certain type (e.g., solid wooden bed, upholstered bed, or boxspring), we at Purtex are happy to accommodate you. We gladly assist in determining the optimal sizes to ensure your bed meets both space and practical needs, such as easy access to storage space or a sufficient height for easy getting in and out, which is especially important for older individuals. However, when ordering custom sizes, you should account for a slight surcharge for atypical dimensions and an extended delivery time.

If you are considering an adjustable or foldable mattress, Purtex also offers solutions where two separate mattresses can be used for large partner beds (for example, for a bed size of 200x180 cm, two mattresses of 200x90 cm are ideal). If you are interested in a custom mattress or bed, feel free to contact our Purtex team, who will be happy to prepare an individual offer and calculate any surcharges.

Other factors to consider when choosing size

When choosing the size of the bed and mattress, it is also important to consider the space in the bedroom. The bed should be positioned so that there is free space around it for easy movement. The appropriate distance from the radiator or windows is also important, as being too close to these elements may affect sleep quality. It is also good to think about your sleeping position—if you move around frequently during the night, a larger size will be advantageous. Conversely, in smaller bedrooms, a larger bed might be detrimental as it could hinder movement.

Mattress height – what to choose?

Another factor influencing your choice is the height of the mattress. This typically ranges from 15 to 25 cm. A higher mattress may be more comfortable and better conform to the body, but it is also a more expensive option. It is important to realize that the height of the mattress can affect its firmness. For example, a high mattress may require a lower bed to avoid uncomfortable getting up, while a lower mattress may wear out more quickly if placed on a high bed.

What else to consider besides size?

In conclusion, it's essential to understand that the size of the bed is not the only factor you should consider when choosing a mattress. Another significant parameter is its firmness, which can have a substantial impact on your sleep quality. If you are interested in more details, we recommend visiting our separate page with the mattress firmness table.

In addition to size and firmness, the material of the mattress also plays a role. Purtex offers a wide range of options, from spring and pocket spring mattresses to popular foam mattresses that provide excellent comfort and support. When choosing a mattress, it is therefore advisable to consider all these aspects to find the ideal combination for your healthy and quality sleep.
