Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

Choosing a custom size mattress for a non-North American standard size bed can be a bit challenging, but it's essential to ensure you have a comfortable and supportive sleep surface. Here are some considerations to keep in mind:

1. Accurate Measurements:

   • Measure your bed frame or the space where the mattress will fit accurately. Be precise in both length and width, as even a small measurement error can result in an ill-fitting mattress. Remember to leave room to easily tuck in your linens.

2. Standard Size Comparison:

   • Compare your measurements to standard mattress sizes in your region or country. Understanding how your custom size mattress relates to these standards can help you find the right fit.

3. Mattress Type:

   • Consider the type of mattress you prefer, such as memory foam, innerspring, latex (best), or hybrid. Different materials provide different levels of support and comfort, so choose the one that suits your preferences.

4. Firmness Level:

   • Determine your preferred firmness level. Mattresses come in various firmness options, ranging from soft to extra firm. Your personal comfort and sleep style will guide your choice. Every mattress in Nine Clouds showroom can be customized.

5. Quality and Durability:

   • Pay attention to the quality of materials and construction. A mattress is an investment in your sleep, so choose one that is durable and made to last.

6. Support and Comfort:

   • Consider your body's support and comfort needs. Factors like your weight, sleeping position, and any specific health concerns (e.g., back pain) will influence your choice of mattress.

7. Budget:

   • Custom-sized mattresses may be more expensive than standard sizes due to the specialized manufacturing process. Set a budget, but also be willing to invest a bit more for a comfortable and durable mattress that suits your needs

8. Bedding and Accessories:

   • Keep in mind that custom-sized mattresses may require custom-sized bedding, such as sheets and mattress protectors. Factor in the cost of these accessories when planning your purchase. Nine Clouds has a variety of sheet thread counts and constructions available in customs sizes as well.

9. Delivery and Installation:

   • Verify if the manufacturer or retailer offers delivery and installation services for your custom-sized mattress. Ensure that it can be delivered and fit into your bedroom easily.

By carefully considering these factors, you can make an informed decision when choosing a custom size mattress for your non-North American standard size bed, ensuring a comfortable and restful night's sleep.
