A good night’s sleep starts from a good quality bed. Not only the materials (springs, memory foam, foam, latex), selecting the right bed size is an important part of the mattress buying process.
In Indonesia, there are 5 standard bed sizes that are commonly used, starting from the smallest (single size) to the largest one (super king size). Get to know about them and find out which mattress size that meet your needs.
Single bed is the smallest size of mattress and each country has its own standard size. In Indonesia, single bed comes with 90 cm x 200 cm dimensions, this size is also common in Northern European countries, such as Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Based on its name, single bed is used only for one person. It’s suitable for you who live alone and have a small bedroom. Or if you’re looking for a mattress for grown up children, single bed is the right choice.
If you think single beds are too small, double beds maybe can work for you. Double beds have a length of 200 cm and width of 120 cm. They are commonly used in hotel and known as twin beds. For those single active sleepers double beds are highly recommended.
Have an overall length of 200 cm and width of 160 cm, queen beds become the most popular bed size for couples. With extra width and length, compared to single and double beds, queen beds can be more comfortable for single active sleepers.
If you have plan to buy a queen bed, your bedroom space should be about 290 cm x 305 cm to be comfortable housing a queen size bed frame — if you go smaller than this, things are going to start to feel cramped.
If queen beds still do not meet your needs, king beds can be your next choice. King beds are ideal for spacious master bedrooms or for couples that require the extra space to move. King size beds have an overall length of 200 cm and width of 180 cm. With its spacious surface area, king bed makes sleeping comfortably through the night much more likely.
Super king bed is the largest mattress size. This mattress has an overall length of 200 cm and width of 200 cm, perfect for two sleeping adults and one children. As the largest bed size, super king bed provide spacious sleeping surface so you can have extra space to get a good night’s sleep.
How to choose the right mattress
You already know about the standard mattress sizes, so how do you choose the right mattress? These tips will help you to find the perfect one.
1. Make sure the mattress feels comfortable
Comfort is the main thing of mattress. Make sure the mattress you use can support your body to the fullest.
2. Measure your bedroom
Before buying a mattress, you should measure your bedroom first. Don’t buy a king size mattress if your bedroom space is limited. Make sure you still have enough free space to place other furniture and space to get ready in the morning.
3. Determine the type of mattress
There are many choices of mattresses that you can find, such as foam mattresses, spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses, and cotton mattresses. Each type of mattress certainly has advantages and disadvantages so choose them according to your body's needs.
How to maintain your mattress
No need for difficult maintenance, with these easy steps, you don't need to buy a new mattress for years.
1. Use a quality bed frame
Complete your mattress with a sturdy bed frame with adequate center support that will prevent bowing or breakage.
2. Keep it clean
Maybe some of us are used to cleaning the mattress by patting it. But actually this method is not recommended because when we pat the mattress, dust and dirt will fly and eventually fall on the surface of the mattress. The best way to clean your mattress is using a vacuum cleaner. But use the vacuum cleaner that specifically for cleaning mites, dust, or other micro impurities.
3. Give it the layers
Sheets and pillow cases will protect your bed surface from dust and dirt. Keep your mattress fresh by changing the sheets and pillowcases regularly.
