In Portugal, mattress sizes generally range from more compact models (single, full) to larger models (double, queen, or king size), depending on individual needs and available space.

In this guide, we’ll help you understand the main dimensions and materials of mattresses, as well as the key factors to consider when making your choice.

Standard mattress sizes

Single mattress

• Dimensions: 90–98 x 190/200 cm
  Suitable for one person—children, teenagers, or adults who sleep alone. It’s a practical solution for small spaces, shared rooms, or bunk beds, while maintaining comfort.

Queen-size mattress

• Dimensions: 105–120 x 190/200 cm
  It offers more space than a single mattress and takes up less room than a double mattress. It’s a well-balanced choice for growing teens or guest rooms.

Double mattress

• Dimensions: 133/183 - 135–140 x 190/200 cm
  The most traditional model, ideal for couples or guest rooms. Before purchasing, make sure there is enough space in the room to move around the bed comfortably.

Queen-size mattress

• Dimensions: 150–160 x 190/200 cm
  More spacious than the classic double bed, it offers greater freedom of movement at night. Suitable for master bedrooms with more generous floor space.

King-size mattress

• Dimensions: 180 x 190/200 cm
  Ideal for couples who value space or for those who share a bed with small children. Requires a spacious bedroom to ensure functionality and comfort.

Super King Size

• Dimensions: 200 x 200 cm
  The largest size available on the market, designed for those seeking maximum comfort and for large spaces.

Factors to consider when choosing

• Available space: Measure the room carefully to ensure that the mattress you choose fits in the room.
• User height: Ideally, the mattress should be at least 20 cm longer than the person’s height.
• Comfortrequirements: Consider the type of support, firmness, and desired temperature control.

Types of Mattress Materials

The choice of mattress material directly affects comfort, durability, and breathability. Among the most common are:

Foam

Foam mattressesare made from materials such as polyurethane or latex that conform to the shape of the body. Ventilation and durability depend on the density and composition of the foam.

Pocket Springs

In pocket-spring mattresses, each spring operates independently, providing targeted support and reducing motion transfer. This type of mattress is recommended for couples and those seeking firmness combined with comfort.

Bonnell springs

There are also Bonnell spring mattresses, which are firmer and more uniform. Because they transmit motion more easily, they may not be the best choice for shared beds.

Stability and temperature control

The firmness of a mattress directly affects the quality of sleep. Mattresses that are too soft or too firm can compromise spinal alignment.

Temperature is also essential:

• Pocket springs provide better ventilation: ideal for hot climates.
• Foam tends to retain more heat: ideal for colder climates.

Some lines feature temperature-regulating technologies, such as the Luxury Gel and Gel Fresh mattresses , which maintain a balanced temperature throughout the night.

Mattress Care Tips

• Regular rotation: For mattresses with two identical sides, periodically flip and rotate the mattress to ensure even wear.
• Ventilation: Air out the mattress whenever possible to prevent moisture and odors.
• Care: Use a mattress protector (waterproof mattress protector now available in our online store) for better hygiene and longer-lasting durability.
• Extra comfort: For those looking to add extra comfort to their bed, a mattress topper can be a good solution. However, you should pay close attention to the condition of the mattress you’ll be placing it on, as it could have the opposite effect of what you’re aiming for.

When choosing the ideal mattress, you should consider the available space, dimensions, material, and the specific needs of the person who will be using it. The options available in Portugal range from single-size models to super king-size models.
