Finding Your Perfect Fit
Comparing mattress sizes starts with looking at their dimensions in regards to length and width.

How to Choose a Mattress Size
- Sleeping Partners: Who do you share a bed with? This is the single largest consideration to keep in mind.
- Your Height & Sleep Position: How tall are you and/or your partner? Typically those under 6 feet tall will have enough legroom on any mattress, while those over 6 feet tall will want to consider a bed with at least 80 inches of length (twin XL, queen, king, and California king).
- Bedroom Dimensions: What room will you put your new mattress in, and how spacious is that room? To avoid a cramped feeling, we recommend leaving about 24 inches of space around each side of your bed.
- Versatility: A new mattress can be a major purchase, so youβll want to ensure that you get a versatile bed that will last a long time.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing a mattress :
- Sleeping Position: Side sleepers prefer softer mattresses, while back sleepers prefer medium, medium firm, or firm mattresses. Stomach sleepers prefer firm mattresses.
- Body Type: People with a larger body type prefer firmer mattresses, while those with a smaller body type prefer softer mattresses.
- Firmness: Softer mattresses are preferred by side sleepers, while firmer mattresses are preferred by back and stomach sleepers.
- Thickness: Thicker mattresses are preferred by heavier individuals, while thinner mattresses are preferred by lighter individuals.
- Material: Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are popular options.
- Budget: Mattresses can range in price from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
- Personal Preferences: Some people prefer a softer or firmer mattress, while others prefer a specific material or feature.
