UK Bed Size Guide - Complete Mattress Dimensions Chart

Sometimes it becomes a serious headache for us as to how we should decide on the size of your bed and mattress. We need to take into account many things before zeroing on the bed size - this includes your bedroom size, how spacious you want your room to be, if you will share your bed with your partner, children or pets and the bed is just for you.
To help you make the right decision, we have given below the UK as well as European bed and mattress sizes in both imperial and metric dimensions. European sizes are the IKEA bed and mattress sizes which are 10 cm (3 inches) longer than the UK sizes:
