Mattress sizes in Portugal: a guide to making the right choice

In Portugal, mattress sizes vary mainly between more compact models (single, body and a half) and larger models (double, queen or king size), depending on needs and available space.

In this guide, we help you understand the main sizes and materials of mattresses, as well as the key factors to take into account when choosing.

 

Standard mattress sizes

Single mattress

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

Body-and-a-half mattress

• Dimensions: 105 - 120 x 190/200 cm
  Offers more space than a single mattress and less volume than a double. It's a balanced choice for growing youngsters 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 buying, make sure that the space in the room allows for good circulation around the bed.

Queen size mattress

• Dimensions: 150-160 x 190/200 cm
  More spacious than the classic double model, it provides greater freedom of movement during the night. Suitable for master bedrooms with a more generous area.

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 large room to ensure functionality and comfort.

Super King Size

• Dimensions: 200 x 200 cm
  The largest format available on the market, designed for those looking for 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.
• User height: the length of the mattress should ideally be at least 20 cm greater than the person's height.
• Comfortneeds: consider the type of support, firmness and thermal regulation required.

Types of mattress materials

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

 

Foam

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

Bagged springs

In pocket sprung mattresses, each spring acts independently, offering localized support and reducing the transfer of movements. This type of mattress is recommended for couples and users looking for firmness with comfort.

 

Bonnell springs

There are also bonnel spring mattresses, which are firmer and more uniform. Because they contain greater transmission of movement, they may not be as suitable for shared beds.

 

Firmness and thermal regulation

The firmness of the mattress directly influences the quality of sleep. Models that are too soft or too firm can compromise the alignment of the spine.

Temperature is also essential:

• Bagged springs provide greater ventilation: ideal for hot climates.
• Foams tend to retain more heat: comfortable for colder areas.

 

Some ranges include thermal regulation technologies, such as the Luxury Gel, Gel Fresh mattress, which maintains a balanced temperature throughout the night.

 

Mattress maintenance tips

• Regular rotation: for models with 2 equal sides, turn and rotate the mattress periodically to ensure even wear.
• Ventilation: ventilate the mattress as often as possible to prevent damp and odors.
• Protection: use a mattress protector(waterproof protector already available in the online store) for greater hygiene and durability.
• Added comfort: for those looking for added comfort in their bed, a good solution may be to use a topper. However, you should pay special attention to the condition of the mattress on which you are going to top it, as this could have the opposite effect to what you want.

 

Choosing the ideal mattress should take into account the space, measurements, material and specific needs of the person using it. The options available in Portugal range from single to super king size.
