The Ultimate Bed and Mattress Size Guide

When it comes to furniture, few pieces are as important as your bed. You use it every single day,
spending around a third of your life sleeping—so choosing the right one matters. It’s not just about
the quality and comfort, but also the size.
There’s no better feeling than stretching out on a spacious, luxurious bed at the end of a long day.
The last thing you want is to feel cramped or struggle for space. Whether you sleep alone, share with
a partner, or have pets that like to join in, ensuring there’s enough room for everyone is key to a
great night’s sleep.
At Bennetts Bedrooms, we specialise in high-quality UK beds and mattresses, but since we’re based
in Portugal, we also recognise the importance of European bed sizes. Whether you need a UK-size
bed, a European option, or something bespoke, we’ve got you covered.
Know Your Sizes: UK vs. European
Understanding bed sizes is key, especially if you’re mixing UK and European standards. Here’s a quick
breakdown:

UK Bed Sizes:

• Single: 90cm x 190cm (3ft x 6ft3”)
• Small Double: 120cm x 190cm (4ft x 6ft3”)
• Double: 135cm x 190cm (4ft6” x 6ft3”)
• King: 150cm x 200cm (5ft x 6ft6”)
• Super King: 180cm x 200cm (6ft x 6ft6”)

European Bed Sizes:

• Single: 90cm x 200cm (slightly longer than a UK single)
• Double: 140cm x 200cm (wider than a UK double)
• King: 160cm x 200cm (comparable to a UK king)
• Super King: 180cm x 200cm (matches a UK super king)
• Emperor: 200cm x 200cm (for those who truly want to live large)

At Bennetts Bedrooms, we stock both UK and European-sized beds, mattresses and bed linen,
ensuring you don’t have to compromise on comfort or fit

Make a Bold Statement: Choosing the Perfect Bed for Every Room
A bed isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a centerpiece that defines your bedroom’s functionality and
style. Here’s how to choose assertively for every space:
Master Bedroom: Don’t settle for less. A UK Super King or European Grand King transforms
your master bedroom into a luxurious retreat. Think big, because you deserve the ultimate

in comfort. Add a statement headboard and a matching mattress that embraces your body’s
curves.
Guest Bedrooms with Storage: Make every inch count. Opt for a versatile double or small
double bed that comes with built-in storage. This way, you not only provide a comfy sleeping
space for your visitors but also solve the perennial problem of keeping the room tidy. Guests
will appreciate the thoughtful design and ample space for essentials.
Kids’ Rooms: Function meets fun. A single or small double bed is perfect for growing
youngsters, leaving plenty of room for creative storage solutions and play areas. Choose a
bed with drawers or shelves to keep toys and books organized.
Multi-Use Rooms: When space is at a premium, choose beds that do double duty. Consider
using two separate mattresses on a large frame for couples with differing sleep preferences,
or for a stylish day-to-night conversion in a studio apartment. This flexibility means you’re
not just investing in sleep—you’re investing in lifestyle.

Mattress Matters: Tailor Your Sleep Experience
The right mattress is just as important as the bed frame. Here are your options, each designed to
support your unique lifestyle:
Spring Mattresses: For those who prefer robust support and a firm feel, with a variety of
spring tensions available.
Memory Foam Mattresses: Perfect for contouring to your body’s shape, reducing pressure
points, and ensuring undisturbed sleep.
Hybrid Mattresses: The best of both worlds—combining the resilience of springs with the
body-conforming benefits of memory foam.
For couples with different sleep preferences, consider placing two separate mattresses on a unified
frame. This approach allows each person to choose the firmness they need without compromise.
