Before making a decision to purchase a mattress, you must carefully weigh up all your options, considering things like your height, weight, lifestyle, and sleeping environment. 

Using this mattress size guide, you can ensure you get the right mattress and size for you right from the start.

It’s probably no surprise that the firmness and softness of your mattress can influence your sleep, but were you also aware that the size of your mattress can also have an impact?

Insomnia, back problems, and a lot of tossing and turning can be caused by sleeping on a mattress that’s too small, large, thin, and thick for your body type.

When buying a mattress, the first decision is the size. You must also consider your height, weight, whether you will share a bedroom with someone, how restless you are as a sleeper, and the size and shape of your room when choosing the size of your mattress. You can find detailed advice in our mattress and bed size guide.

At Discounted Beds, our mattresses are available in all UK standard sizes.
