European Metric Size Mattresses: The Ideal Match for Imported Bed Frames

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a beautiful European bed frame only to realize that standard North American mattresses don’t fit properly—you’re not alone. European metric size mattresses are crafted to align perfectly with the specific measurements of European-style beds, providing a flawless fit and superior comfort.

Whether you’re looking for a 90 x 200 cm single, a 140 x 200 cm double, or a custom European King, this guide covers everything you need to know to find the ideal mattress for your bedroom.

What Is a European Size Mattress?

European metric mattresses are measured in centimeters, unlike the inch-based system used in North America. Though the size differences might appear minor, they significantly affect both fit and comfort. For instance:

• EU Single: 90 x 200 cm (≈ 35.4” x 79”)
• EU Small Double: 120 x 200 cm (≈ 47” x 79”)
• EU Double: 140 x 200 cm (≈ 55” x 79”)
• EU Queen: 160 x 200 cm (≈ 63” x 79”)
• EU King: 180 x 200 cm (≈ 71” x 79”)
