Choosing your bedding leads to many questions. Beyond the choice of bed frame, box spring and type of mattress, we are first faced with the choice of the size of our bed.
There are many options available and can make this choice difficult. Just if you look at the mattress, a range of solutions are already possible: Single or double mattress, or even a combination of two single mattresses. In terms of dimensions, everything gets complicated! The bedding market offers a wide range of sizes that range from standard sizes, to large sizes, to special sizes. Each option may be different depending on the manufacturer and country. A lexicon specific to mattress sizes has even appeared to define the dimensions: Queen Size and King Size. Diamond Supreme Foam helps you clear up bedding jargon and guides you in choosing the right bed size for your situation.
Bedding Size Guide
A size guide becomes essential for those who want to make the best choice of bedding because on the one hand the offer of sizes is dense and constantly enriched, and on the other hand it will be necessary to assemble several elements to make a bed. Indeed, the size of the bed will depend on the size of the mattress, the size of the bed base and the size of the bedding accessories. Follow the guide to understand the different bed sizes.
Single Mattress
With a width of 70 to 90 centimeters and a length of 190 to 200 centimeters, the single bed is the “big bed” that children can access, often from the age of 3. If it is then suitable until adulthood, teenagers and young adults quickly turn to a 1 and a half place bed or more commonly to a double bed, when space allows.
Single And A Half Place Bed Mattress
The 1 and a half place bed is between 100 and 120 centimeters wide. The 1 and a half bed will be classified as a 1 place bed.
The sleeper enjoys more comfort than a traditional 1-seater bed without encroaching on the space of the bedroom. It’s a compromise between sleeping space and floor space: ideal for people who sleep alone, but who appreciate having space.
Double Bed Mattress
With a width of 140 to 200 centimeters and a length of between 190 and 200 centimeters, the double bed is suitable for adults or couples. It is the best-selling bedding.
When the size of the bed is chosen, the size of the mattress, the box spring and the bedding accessories will have to be adapted.

Mattress Sizes
While historically the offer of bed sizes was limited to two major standards for 1 seater and 2 seater mattresses, the offer is becoming more and more dense. It is becoming difficult to find one’s way between all the dimensions and the new names. Especially since in addition to special sizes, “made-to-measure” sizes are also part of an already wide offer! Details of each Diamond Supreme Foam mattress size are available on our website.
Standard Mattress Sizes
The mattresses come in three standard sizes:
Mattress 90 x190
Mattress 140 x 190
Mattress 160 x 200
For a 1-person mattress, the standard dimensions are 90 x 190 cm.
For a mattress for 2 people, the standard dimensions remained 140 x 190 cm for a long time. These dimensions corresponded to the average size of the Pakistani population.
However, over the past twenty years, both men and women have tended to grow taller and taller. To cope with this phenomenon, bedding manufacturers have revised the size of their models upwards. The boom in sales of the 160×200 mattress has gradually brought it up to standard sizes.
Even if the 140×190 mattress is still in the majority with 50% of sales, its market share tends to decrease in favor of larger mattress sizes.
Large Mattress Sizes
In Pakistan, the average height is 1.62 meters for women and 1.76 meters for men. In 1970, women were 2 cm shorter while men’s waist was shortened by 6 cm. With the growth of the population, bedding has evolved to keep up with the trend.
While large mattress sizes used to have low sales volumes and limited production, these mattress sizes are now seeing strong sales.
Two Mattress Sizes Have Been Particularly Developed:
mattress 180×200
mattress 200×200
These sizes are not considered standard, but their market share is constantly growing.
To obtain the bed dimensions 180×200 or 200×200, it is also possible to combine two 1-person mattresses 90×200 or 100×200 on a single or double bed base of the same size. The advantages are to have greater sleeping independence and to benefit from the comfort of different mattresses for the same bed.
What Are Queen Size Mattresses And King Size Mattresses?
In addition to the dimensions of mattresses, there are sometimes names. This is the case with Queen Size and King size mattresses. It would even tend to add confusion to the current plethora of offers!
Queen Size Mattress : 160×200
King Size Mattress : 180×200
Super King Size XL Mattress: 200×200
For more sleeping space, many people turn to the Queen Size bed and its extra 20 centimeters. Its popularity has even raised it to standard sizes. The Queen Size bed no longer rhymes with luxury, it has now become part of the daily life of many Pakistani people. If the length of the bed remains the same, it is in the width that this bed is larger, ensuring more comfort for a sleep for two.
