Market-ready sizing
Bed Size & Mattress Compatibility Guide
A bed frame and mattress must be specified as one system. Confirm the destination market, sleeping size and internal frame dimensions before quotation, sampling and packaging approval.
Replace with an approved bed-frame dimension drawing showing internal mattress space, overall footprint and headboard height.
01 · Start with market
UK, EU, North American and other size names are not interchangeable.
02 · Verify dimensions
Use millimetres for the internal mattress space and overall product footprint.
03 · Approve as a system
Bed frame, slat system, mattress height and packaging must be reviewed together.
What buyers must confirm
Size name alone is not enough.
Retail size labels vary by country and sometimes by retailer. Quotations should therefore reference both the market name and exact mattress dimensions.
Mattress size
Nominal width × length in millimetres, plus acceptable production tolerance.
Internal bed space
Clear space inside the side rails and between headboard and footboard.
Overall footprint
Maximum external width, length and height for product pages and room planning.
Mattress height
Affects the visible headboard, side-rail relationship and storage-bed operation.
Reference framework
Common market conventions
These examples are orientation only, not final manufacturing specifications. Retailer standards and destination-market requirements must be confirmed for each programme.
Compatibility checkpoints
Review before sampling
- Slat spacing and centre-support arrangement
- Mattress retention and clearance around upholstery
- Gas-lift force matched to mattress weight
- Finished mattress height against the headboard design
- Carton dimensions, access routes and container plan
