The Choice mattress dimensions It’s not just a matter of «big or small»—it’s one of the most common causes of buying mistakes, dissatisfaction, and returns. One mattress that doesn't fit in with bed, in your room or based on your needs, can turn your sleep from a restful experience into a daily problem.
The Most Common Mattress Sizes in Greece (2025–2026)
| Nominal Dimension | Dimension (cm) | Ideal for | Comments & Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single / Single | 90 × 190 / 200 | Children, teenagers, small rooms, vacation home | Essential size for children's rooms & guest rooms |
| Small Double / One-and-a-half | 120 × 200 | Teenagers, college students, young couples | «Medium» size – popular for apartments |
| Double / Double | 140 × 200 | Couples who don't need much space | A classic choice for small bedrooms |
| Queen | 150–160 × 200 | Medium-sized rooms for couples | The most popular size in new homes |
| King / Royal | 180 × 200 | Couples looking for comfort | Standard in luxury bedrooms & master bedrooms |
| Super King / Extra King | 200 × 200 | Large bedrooms, families | Ideal for couples with children or pets |
| California King (US) | 183 × 213 | Very tall people | Less common—requires a custom bed |
Tip: In the Southern Suburbs, most new homes have a master bedroom designed for a king-size or super king-size bed—always measure the bed plus 5–10 cm of clearance on each side.
How to Choose the Right Size (Checklist)
- Measure your bed (not your old mattress!) Many beds have internal dimensions that differ slightly from the standard ones (e.g., 148×198 instead of 150×200).
- Calculate the available space in the room Leave at least 60–70 cm on each side for easy layering and access.
- Think about your sleep habits
- Do you sleep on your side and need space? → Queen or King
- Does your partner move around a lot? → Split King (two 90 cm mattresses) for different firmness levels
- Do you have children or pets who climb on the bed? → Super King or King with reinforced edges
- Think about transportation and entry In apartments with narrow staircases or elevators, split sizes (2×90 cm) are a lifesaver.
Custom Dimensions: When Are They Worth It?
- Non-standard bed (e.g., 170×210, 155×195)
- Very tall people (>1.90 m) → need a length of 210–220 cm
- Yachts, vacation homes, or hotels → custom height & size
- Split King with different firmness levels on each side
