Bed size

Single size bed

Bed size refers to mattress size and standard names for those sizes. Beds vary in size according to frame size and degree of ornamentation, but are sold according to the size of mattress they take. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type.

Standard North American sizes

A pillowtop queen-size mattress.

Modern manufacturing conventions have produced many standard mattress and box spring sizes. Beds vary by country of origin as per the table above. These dimensions are for the mattress—actual bed frames are a little larger to accommodate the mattress. Mattress thickness varies considerably.

Standard North American sizes

The standard bed sizes are:

It is worth noting that 'bed size' in the UK generally refers to mattress size. This is because mattresses have a standard size grading, whereas bed frames do not. While many companies in the UK do offer bespoke bed making services, most mass-produced bed linens, bed frames and mattresses fit only the standard bed sizes above. A common mistake is to use a mattress size as the required space for the full dimensions of the bed and mattress.
