Tips for Choosing the Right Mattress Size

To determine the perfect height for your mattress, make sure that:

  1. The mattress is 10 cm longer than the tallest person sleeping on it.
  2. Your feet don’t poke out at the bottom of the bed.

To find the perfect mattress width, tuck both hands under your head and lie back on the mattress. If your elbows touch your partner or the edge of the mattress you will probably need a wider one.
