A mattress measuring 180 cm by 200 cm is a common size in many European countries and is often referred to as a "European King" or "King Size." Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about this mattress size:

Dimensions:
- Width: 180 cm (approximately 71 inches)
- Length: 200 cm (approximately 79 inches)

Key Features:
- Spaciousness: The European King size is ideal for couples who want extra space. It provides plenty of room for two people to sleep comfortably without feeling cramped.
- Comfort: This size is suitable for master bedrooms, offering a luxurious amount of sleeping space.
- Availability: In Europe, this size is quite standard, so you'll find a wide range of mattress types (memory foam, latex, spring, hybrid) and bed frames that fit these dimensions. In North America Nine Clouds Beds offers this and all other sizes measured in centimetres.

- Bedding: Sheets, duvet covers, and other bedding accessories for this size are widely available in Europe, though it’s important to check the measurements since there can be slight variations.
