Why settle for a standard-length bed if your feet reach the end? A standard UK single or double mattress is commonly around 190cm long. As a guide, choosing a mattress about 15cm longer than the tallest sleeper leaves more room to settle comfortably.
More than one way to gain space
A longer mattress is the direct answer for a tall sleeper, while a wider bed can also improve comfort for couples and people who change position frequently. Heli-Beds offers standard widths in extended lengths as well as a 3ft6 extra-wide single, often called a super single.
Measure before deciding
Measure the sleeper, the available floor area and the route into the room. Remember to allow for the external dimensions of the bed base or frame, which will be larger than the mattress itself.
If a listed size does not fit an existing frame, a made-to-measure mattress may be possible. Browse extra-long and extra-wide beds or call 01793 388605 to discuss the exact measurements.
