Standard Bed and Mattress Sizes

Your best bed size might suit you and the whole family but not suit your bedroom. When choosing your mattress size, you also need to consider the size of the room. All of our mattresses are proudly hand made here in Australia. Because of this and the soft and compressible nature of the materials we use mattresses may vary 1-2cm from the size guide. Variation within this range is considered normal, with the measurements given in the size guide intended to be indicative.

If you have the space, then a Super King mattress will give each sleep partner enough room to move without disrupting the other and allow for any night-time visitors.
