Standard sizes for double beds, mattresses and bedding

The size of a berth is calculated based on the average size of a person: the length of the bed exceeds the height by 200 mm, the width of the mattress is 400 mm more than the volume of the body. According to GOST, the standard size of a double bed is 1900-2100 mm in length, 1600-1800 mm in width. The shape and dimensions of furniture depend on the number of vacationers, their age, special preferences and the country of origin: America, Europe or Asia.

Features of the standards of different countries

The sizes of the beds differ by country of manufacture:

1. The metric system of measurement (mm, m) is guided by European countries. The standard length of a berth is 2000-2100 mm, only the width changes. For double structures, it can be 1600, 1800, 2000 mm;
2. The English size grid (in inches and feet) is used by US furniture factories. The length of the models is limited to a range of 190-213 cm, the width is identical to European.

When choosing a bed of foreign manufacture, it is important to choose the same sizes of bed linen. The need is caused by the scatter of measurement systems (recalculation of American inches gives fractional European values). For example, 80 inches long and 60 inches wide in terms of Euro standards corresponds to 2032 cm and 1524 mm.

The ease of use of furniture largely depends on which frame is selected:

• Japanese models are not suitable for children, the elderly or people with sore joints - it is difficult to get up from a low surface;
• European products - a universal solution for adults and children;
• American frames - suitable for tall people.

Europe

Euro beds produce the following parameters:

• Length - 2000 mm;
• Width - 1800-2000 mm;
• Height - 450 mm.

Many users mistakenly believe that the dimensions of euro beds are larger than standard. The difference is only in determining the standard itself: the basic size of Russian furniture is 160x190 cm, in Europe the smallest double bed is 180x200. The step of increasing the width of the berth is 5-10 cm. Height - 15-25 cm when equipping the bed with a spring mattress, 10-20 cm when using latex flooring.

There are rectangular, square, oval and round eurobeds. The latest model will add luxury and presentability to a spacious room. Wide models are ideal for those who like to sleep on their stomach or back, elderly people who need free space. Euro beds are placed against a wall 350 cm wide, leaving 70 cm walkways.

USA

In the USA, double beds are called "Western or California Royal", the products are labeled "Western King" or "California King", respectively. The width of the structures is 1829 mm, the length is 2133 mm.

The Standard King, Eastern King, and King product range comes with an increased width of 1930 or 1980 mm and a shorter length of 2032 mm. The standard sizes of double beds of English, American or Australian brands are measured in inches: 76 * 80, 72 * 80, 72 * 78, which in terms of metric sizes is 193 * 203 cm, 184 * 203 cm, 184 * 198 cm, respectively.

Asia

All Japanese furniture occupies a minimum of space. The interior of the structures is equipped with built-in cabinets at the base or an automatically rising mattress. The backs are also equipped with drawers, shelves for small items, lights and sockets. It is not necessary to install a bedside table. The dimensions of the furniture are close to Western standards:

• Double or Full - marking of narrow double products with a mattress of 135x190 cm;

• King - the largest double model with a length of 202 cm and a width of 193 cm;

Custom Model Sizes

Non-standard sleeping places are distinguished by their original design, large dimensions, and unusual shape. The most common options are round, oval and arched, in the form of a heart. Often designs are equipped with a retractable berth, allowing to accommodate unexpected guests. The oval is as close as possible to traditional rectangular models. Semicircular beds adjoining one side to the wall will become a more convenient solution. Round beds gained wide popularity. They are spacious and comfortable, have a wide selection of sizes.

It is advisable for families with children to install a bed with a diameter of 250 cm, pick up bed sets for models of original shapes according to individual sizes. Remember, the size of the blanket must be such that it completely covers the bed. Non-standard furniture is preferably placed in a spacious bedroom, otherwise even an elegant model takes a miserable look. The external parameters of the frame depend on the design, the width of the mattress is in accordance with the standard.

The choice of optimal dimensions

Dimensions according to GOST.

Products

Width

The average size range of modular furniture is 1400, 1500 and 1600 mm. When designing stationary interior items, manufacturers adhere to the sizes of 1800, 1900, 2000 mm, the wider the product, the greater the length of the bed - 2000, 2100, 2200 mm, respectively. The classic version of the two-level bed has a bed - 100 cm (minimum). For reference: the largest bed in the world is in the hotel of Amsterdam, it accommodates 8 people.

Length

The best way to determine the length of the bed is to add 200 mm to your own height. Falling asleep on your back, stretching out in length or using large pillows, add another 100 mm. Standard bed length, according to GOST - 1900 mm. Less commonly produced models are 1950, 2000-2100 mm long. Bamboo beds reach 2200 mm.

During sleep, all parts of the body should touch the surface of the bed, therefore, 220 cm long models are recommended for tall people. Such beds have a wide bed, which subconsciously does not control movement in a dream. The optimal length of furniture for a person with an average size of 1900-2000 mm.

The length of 2100 mm is usually due to the massive headboard and decorative detail in the area of ​​the legs. The complexity of the performance - leather upholstery, columns, a massive headboard, draped curtains - this is what eats up the usable area in the bedroom.

A double bed without a backrest will occupy a minimum of space in a small room or in a country house. Models are equipped with a rectangular or figured base, upholstered on the outside with eco-leather, beautiful fabric. Inside there is a place to store linen, pillows. The size range includes 1.6x1.9 - 1.8x2 mm. The height "without foot" reaches 38 - 40 cm.

Height

The optimal height of the berth is 420-480 mm. But there is an important aspect: different growth of people. Placing the legs in a bent position creates a load on the spine. The main criterion for comfort is 90 degrees in a sitting position. There is no common standard. Conventionally, products manufactured by world furniture manufacturers are divided into three groups of heights:

Asian furniture (Turkish ottomans, Japanese tatami and futon) implies the lowest arrangement. It was the Asian masters who laid the foundation for a new fashion for Turkish ottomans, Persian sofas, an Arabic sofa, which initially had small dimensions - the height of the eastern bed with a mattress is 20-30 cm. Low furniture will fit perfectly in the apartment of young residents of the metropolis, a bedroom made in the style of minimalism. The European size of the bed is most convenient from the point of view of human anatomy: the average length of the legs from the floor to the knee is 60-65 cm, so half-meter designs make it easy to get to the floor.

The American standard provides for the manufacture of massive beds with a height of 80-100 cm, which will appeal to young and energetic luxury lovers. Refrain from buying if you suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular system.

The height of the bed is also taken into account when implementing design decisions. In the classic interior, a king-size bed is appropriate, complemented by steps and benches. The small dimensions of the tatami will harmoniously fit into apartments and studios corresponding to the oriental style. European furniture is universal, feel free to choose a product for a spacious bedroom of a country mansion or a small room of a standard five-story building.

Headboard

The headboard is an integral part of the bed, protecting the walls from damage and increasing the comfort of the bed. The standard head height is 390 mm and 900 mm from the floor. Fearing a visual reduction in space due to height, use a canopy or plenty of pillows.

Sleeping place

Standard bed table.

The mattress must strictly correspond to the size of the bed. A larger product will be unevenly distributed over the surface, damage to posture. A mattress of smaller parameters deforms the frame, disrupts rest. The height of the flooring should slightly exceed the level of the side of the bed. The sizes of springless models range from 15-24 cm. Thin decks (2-10 cm) serve as mattress covers for old sofas. Products equipped with springs have a height of 18-32 cm. There are elite options reaching 50 cm.

It is important to consider the individual characteristics of vacationers:

• For owners of medium build, a mattress with independent springs and a bed measuring 160x190 cm are suitable;
• People who need more space will like 180 cm wide springless mattresses;
• Fragile consumers manage soft double models of 150-155 cm.

Parameters of bedding.

Please note: sheets are ordinary and stretch. The first option is suitable for any beds and mattresses, the second is not suitable for sofas, thin and soft flooring.

Interior Design Recommendations

When planning to pick up a double bed yourself, you should make clear measurements of the room, additional furniture, transfer them to paper, create a drawing. The dimensions of GOST can be neglected if the width of the room exceeds 300 cm - the royal box of European and American standards will be the best option. For a room that performs the function of a bedroom and a living room at the same time, a folding sofa will be an alternative to a bed:

• "Eurobook" with a standard berth of 200 * 160 cm;
• "Accordion" measuring 160x185 cm;
• "Click-gag" with a width of 170, 190 or 200 cm;
• "Aleko" up to 200-250 cm long;
• "Saber" with a berth width of 160 cm.

For a comfortable stay, attention should be paid to the quality and size of the bedding. Euro sizes of bedding are especially popular: for a bed with parameters 160 * 200 cm, a sheet is suitable 220 * 240 cm, a duvet cover 200 * 220 cm. A double bed with built-in shelves will save precious centimeters. Orthopedic models are widely in demand, with a lifting mechanism that meets the parameters 183 * 223, the height of the head is 95 cm. For ease of reading, install the lamp at a height of 120 - 160 cm.

When calculating the space reserved for the sleeping bed, it is important to take into account the dimensions of the additional elements. Sets that include a double bed with bedside tables, built-in shelves will simplify the choice of furniture, the finished set is made in the same style and takes up little space: 1690 * 2160 mm (bed dimensions) and 300 * 400 mm (bedside table).

Double furniture provides a comfortable resting position for couples, overweight, painful and elderly people. Capacious models allow the use of an orthopedic mattress and pillows. It is convenient to supplement modular products with compact cases, racks and regiments. However, in small rooms, a massive piece of furniture will occupy the maximum free space. Double products are difficult to pick up for non-standard rooms, the unusual shape of rooms, elongated bedrooms.

A lucky alternative for adults is the loft bed. The smallest height of a two-seater model is 1800 mm, and the largest is 1900 mm. Bunk furniture is a youth option for small-sized apartments or dormitories. The height of the second tier reaches 145-1800 cm. These parameters are not recommended for elderly or height-afraid people. You should also consider the height of the ceiling of the apartment. With walls of 240 cm and a bed of 180 cm, 60 cm remains above the second tier. The design of such furniture can be as diverse as possible. Often a berth is supplemented by a desk, a linen closet or bookshelves.
