Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type. Mattress sizes may differ from bedding sizes.

Nomenclature

Naming standards on different bed sizes and their corresponding actual measurements can vary across national standards. Examples of such nomenclature are names like "Single", "Full" or "Double", "Queen" or "King" size. Sometimes the naming standards are further divided by adding adjectives such as "Narrow", "Wide", "Extra Wide", "Long", "Extra Long" and so on, which also can vary across national standards.

For example, a King size bed may measure (in width by length):

Because of the growth of international trade and the above potential cause of confusion, bed sizes are becoming more standardized. In most countries, using the International System of Units, bed dimensions most often appear in centimeters, and often only by width and length.[http://sizechart.com/home/bed-size/european/index.html European beds] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191017210852/http://www.sizechart.com/home/bed-size/european/index.html |date=17 October 2019 }} (Sizechart.com) In the United States, Canada and other regions influenced by the former British Empire, dimensions are often in inches.[https://www.standardbedsizes.com/ Standard bed sizes] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826042939/https://www.standardbedsizes.com/ |date=26 August 2018 }} (Bedsizes.com)

Europe may traditionally have had more variations in national bed size standards than any other part of the world,{{cite web |url=https://www.bedsizes.biz/european.htm |title=Continental European Bed Sizes |publisher=bedsizes.biz |date= |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=20 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820063756/https://www.bedsizes.biz/european.htm |url-status=live }} but in the recent years a few sizes have become more common than others. Bed sizes are defined in centimeters in all European countries, although supplementary Imperial equivalents are sometimes shown in the United Kingdom.

Today, the most common widths sold by pan European retailers are:

  • {{cvt|90|,|100|and|120|cm|0}} for single beds.[https://forbrukerliv.no/enkeltseng/ Consumer Media (forbrukerliv.no - forbrugsguiden.dk - konsumentmagasinet.se) - Single Size Bed Guide 2019] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825151445/https://forbrukerliv.no/enkeltseng/ |date=25 August 2019 }} English translation: "Today the standard is 90 cm [..] "However, it has also become more common with wider single beds" [..] "A 120 cm wide single bed can give a major increase in comfort".

  • {{cvt|160|,|180|and|200|cm|0}} for double beds.

Other sizes are also available in some European countries (e.g., {{cvt|80|or|140|cm|0}}), but the widths listed above are the most common when looking at the European market as a whole, while {{cvt|135|cm|0}} and {{cvt|150|cm|0}} (nominal) are more typical in the UK and Ireland.

Today, the {{cvt|200|cm|0}} length is the most common bed length sold by pan-European retailers. Lengths of {{cvt|210|or|220|cm|0}} are often also available by special order. The longer beds are intended for taller people,{{Cite web |url=https://sovbedre.com/guide-valg-seng/ |title=Valg av seng - Slik velger du den beste seng - Les guide her |access-date=17 June 2019 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617164219/https://sovbedre.com/guide-valg-seng/ |url-status=live }} and as a rule of thumb {{convert|210|cm|0|adj=mid|-long|sp=us}} beds may be recommended for people {{cvt|190|cm|0}} or taller, while {{cvt|220|cm|0}} beds are recommended for people over {{cvt|200|cm|0}} tall.{{Cite web |url=https://sovbedre.com/rammemadrasser/ |title=Rammemadrass - Se stort utvalg & finn de beste rammemadrasser her |access-date=17 June 2019 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617164219/https://sovbedre.com/rammemadrasser/ |url-status=live }}

Some UK retailers may have a "queen" size which refers to one of the above standard sizes, but there is inconsistency around which size specifically, with both the small double and super king being prevalent.

Adjustable beds or electric adjustable bed sizes differ from the standard bed size. The length of these beds differ from a standard size due to the nature of the bed needing to bend. So they are 200 cm in length rather than 191 cm. King size and super king size are normally two 75 cm or two 90 cm adjacent beds.{{cite web |last1=Archers |first1=Sleepcentre |title=Adjustable Beds |url=https://www.archerssleepcentre.co.uk/beds/electric-adjustable-beds |website=archerssleepcentre.co.uk |publisher=Archers Sleepcentre |access-date=18 December 2023}}

The sizes of mattresses use non-numeric labels such as a "king" or "full", but are defined in inches. Historically most beds were "twins" or "doubles" but in the mid-1940s larger mattresses were introduced by manufacturers. These were later standardized as "queen" and "king", and first made a significant impact on the market in the 1950s and 60s.{{cite magazine |url=https://bedtimesmagazine.com/2015/06/1941-1965-mattress-makers-introduce-king-and-queen-sizes/ |title=1941–1965: Mattress makers introduce 'king' and 'queen' sizes |date=10 June 2016 |magazine=BedTimes |access-date=25 January 2019 |archive-date=26 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126000810/https://bedtimesmagazine.com/2015/06/1941-1965-mattress-makers-introduce-king-and-queen-sizes/ |url-status=live }} Standard mattress depth ranges from the "standard" size of {{cvt|9|in|cm|0}} to "high contour" of up to {{cvt|13|in|cm|0}}.

Bedding in the United States must state the type of bed it is intended for, in addition to the dimensions in both inches and centimeters.{{cite web |date=9 May 2017 |title=Handbook 130 – 2012 Uniform Packaging and Labeling Regulation |url=https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2017/05/09/section-IVa-12-h130-final.pdf |access-date=3 December 2023 |publisher=US National Institute of Standards and Technology |page=81 }}

= Bed height =

In addition to the horizontal dimensions of beds, another aspect to bed size is the vertical height of the bed. This is particularly relevant for bunk beds, loft beds, Murphy beds, and canopy beds, which require more vertical space than other beds.

In the case of both bunk beds and loft beds, it's generally suggested that there is at least 40 inches (1 meter) of vertical space between the top of the mattress to the ceiling. This allows the average-sized adult to sit up comfortably in bed.{{Cite web |last=McKenna |first=David J. |date=October 2, 2024 |title=Mattress Dimensions and Bed Sizes |url=https://cozybeds.com/blogs/inspo-and-tips/mattress-dimensions-and-bed-sizes-guide |access-date=October 9, 2024 |website=CozyBeds}}

For vertical Murphy beds, which fold up against the wall, ceiling height must accommodate the full length of the Murphy bed wall frame.

For canopy beds, there needs to be suitable clearance between the top of the canopy point and the ceiling.
