How to choose the right mattress sizes in India?

There are certain points to keep in mind while choosing the right mattress sizes in India

Room’s dimension

If you have a room of 10”(W) x 10”(L) and you bought a King size bed then your room will not have enough space.

For most of the master bedroom, King and Queen mattresses are easily accessible.

So, before buying a mattress or bed first check that what is dimensions of the room and door frame.

Measurement tap will help you to find the dimensions of the room as well door frame.

Check the carpet area of a room and then see how much amount of space you need for setting up with a bed & mattress.

Family size

If you are a family of 3 people (you, your partner and a child) then a single bed mattress will be a horrible investment for you!

So, always keep in mind what is your family size is and after that choose the right mattress sizes.

Price

Height and body shapes of the person

Different people have different body shapes from thin to fatty.

Different people have different heights from short to tall.

Short height with a lightweight person can comfortable on the single bed mattress.

While tall height with a heavy bodyweight person comfortable on the double or full bed mattress.

So, always keep in mind your body shape and height before buying a mattress.

Nature of sleeping

Different person has different sleeping style. Some sleep very calm and some like to spread out all over the bed.

Most people have 2 different styles of sleeping:
