How many people would be using the mattress?
- For a single person a 36 inches (3 feet) or a 48 inches (4 feet) wide mattress will suffice.
- A minimum Queen size – 60 inches (5 feet) wide mattress in case of 2 people sleeping together.
- For the best comfort and movement space, buy minimum King Size 72 inches (6 feet) wide mattress.
How does your body type affect the mattress dimensions?
- Length: The mattress length should ideally be a minimum of 6 inches longer than the height of the tallest person using the mattress.
- Width: Lie down comfortably making use of a pillow and put your elbows behind your head. Your elbows should not touch your partner or go beyond the edge of the mattress. Also note heavier people might require more moving space on the mattress, so a wider mattress is recommended.

- Allow enough room along all the sides of the mattress to move around comfortably.
- We recommend a minimum of 22 inches clearance on all sides.
