What are the different mattress measurements?

While buying a mattress most of us lay stress on the softness, the materials used in manufacturing and color of the mattress. We forget the mattress size. The length and breadth of the mattresses are different for different beds. The mattress size depends on the bed size and for every bed there are various types of mattresses.

Buying a small mattress is a big mistake and if your legs are completely not on the mattress and come out of it then you cannot sleep well. While sleeping in a bed you require enough space for movement and the mattress you choose should be very comfortable to turn and twist at night.

The measurements of some mattress are:

Queen Size Beds
60"wide x 80" long
152 X 203 CM

Twin Size Beds
39" wide x 75" long
99 X 191 CM

Long Twin Size Beds
39" wide x 80" long
99 X 203 CM

California King Size Beds
72" wide x 84" long
183 X 214 CM

Full Size or Double Beds
54" wide x 75" long
137 X 191 CM

King Size Beds
78" wide x 80" long
198 X 203 CM

While buying a mattress make sure you buy the right size.
