Standard Mattress Sizes (2026): US, UK & EU Bed Dimensions

Standard US mattress sizes are Twin 38×75 in, Full 54×75, Queen 60×80, King 76×80 and California King 72×84 in. UK sizes are metric and differ: Single 90×190 cm, Double 135×190, King 150×200 and Super King 180×200 cm.

LengthWidth

Mattresses are specified by width × length. Height (profile) is not standardized.

Key facts

  • US sizes are named (Twin, Full, Queen, King, Cal King) and set in inches; Queen (60×80 in / 152×203 cm) is the most popular US size.
  • UK/EU sizes are defined in centimetres and do not match US sizes: a UK King (150×200 cm) is narrower than a US King and closest to a US Queen in width.
  • Name collisions trap buyers — US "Full/Double" ≈ UK "Double", but "King" means very different sizes in the US vs UK.
  • Only width and length are standardized; mattress thickness/profile varies by model, so check depth separately for sheets and frames.

Put these numbers on the product photo

A spec table only helps if the buyer reads it. Many don't — shoppers routinely try to judge a product's size straight from the images, and wrong size or fit is the most-cited reason things get returned. The fix is to mark the real dimensions on the photo itself, where the buyer is already looking.

SizeMarker snaps dimension lines to the mattress's edges and exports at Amazon or Alibaba size, so the measurement is accurate and legible — not a guess typed over the picture. That answers the size question up front and cuts pre-sale questions and size-driven returns.

FAQ

What is the most common mattress size in the US?

Queen, at 60 × 80 inches (152 × 203 cm) per Sleep Foundation — the most popular US size, giving two sleepers about 30 in of width each.

Is a UK King the same as a US King?

No. A UK King is 150 × 200 cm (~59 × 79 in), while a US King is 76 × 80 in (193 × 203 cm) — much wider. A UK King is closest to a US Queen in width.

What is the difference between a King and a California King?

A standard King is 76 × 80 in (193 × 203 cm); a California King is 72 × 84 in (183 × 213 cm) — 4 in narrower but 4 in longer, suited to taller sleepers.

Are EU mattress sizes the same as UK sizes?

No. EU sizes are typically 200 cm long (e.g. EU Single 90×200, EU Double 140×200, EU King 160×200 cm), whereas UK Single and Double are 190 cm long.

Do two mattresses of the same size have the same height?

Not necessarily. Only width and length are standardized; profile/thickness varies widely by model, so buyers should confirm depth for fitted sheets and bed frames.
