Mattress Size Guide

Choosing the right mattress size

A few things worth thinking about before you buy:

• Who else is in the bed regularly: a partner, a child, a pet?
• How tall or heavy are you, and how tall or heavy is your sleeping partner?
• How much space will you have in your room once the mattress is in?

Every Tattersfield mattress is made by hand in New Zealand. Because of the compressible materials we use, finished mattresses can vary by 1 to 2cm from the sizes listed below. This is completely normal, and the measurements here are intended as a guide.

Tattersfield mattress sizes

• Single. Our smallest mattress size, suitable as a first bed or an occasional guest bed.
• Long Single. The same width as a Single with extra length, making it a practical option for a growing child or teenager who needs more room to stretch out.
• King Single. A step up in width from Long Single, giving older kids and teens more room to move at night. Also a solid choice for a guest room with limited floor space.
• Double. A compact option for smaller rooms, offering enough width for one adult or a teenager who wants more space than a King Single.
• Queen. The most common choice for couples, and generally the minimum size we'd recommend for two adults sharing a bed.
• King. More width than a Queen, giving couples extra room to move without disturbing each other.
• Super King. Our largest standard size for couples, with generous space for two adults plus room for a child or pet to join in.
• Californian King. Our biggest mattress, at over 2m wide. Best suited to larger bedrooms and families who need the extra space.

Measuring your room for a mattress

Before you choose a mattress size, measure your bedroom and think about how your bed will sit within it. A bed that's too large for the space will feel cramped no matter how comfortable the mattress is, so match the size to your room as much as to your sleep needs.
