How to choose the right mattress size?

Our criteria for choosing the right mattress size

1. Consider your size

A little secret: your mattress should always be 15 to 20 cm longer than you . If you're 1.80 m tall, forget about a 190 cm mattress…

2. Consider the available space in your room

Make sure you leave at least 60 cm of space around the bed for easy movement. There's nothing worse than having to jump over the bed frame to reach your side of the bed.

In a small bedroom, stick with a 140x190 cm bed. In a large bedroom, treat yourself to a Queen or King size.

3. Think about your life situation

→ Do you sleep alone? A 90x190 cm or 90x200 cm bed will be more than enough. Unless you like to stretch out, in which case a 120x200 cm bed would be preferable.

→ Do you sleep as a couple? The 140x190 cm remains the standard size, but between us… to avoid elbowing each other all night, a 160x200 cm (queen size) will be much more pleasant.

The Morphea recommendation

Many wait more than 10 years before changing their mattress: a 2022 Harris Interactive study shows that 34% of French people only replace it every 10 to 12 years.

At Morphea, we recommend that you don't wait that long: to preserve your comfort and the quality of your sleep, it's best to renew your mattress every 8 to 10 years maximum.

What type of mattress should I choose after finding the right size?

Choosing the right size is the first step. Final comfort also depends on the type of mattress you choose. Each material has its own characteristics:

• Memory foam : it conforms to your curves, reduces pressure on sensitive areas and provides a supportive feel. Ideal for joint pain.
  

• Latex : naturally elastic and breathable, it offers good support while remaining comfortable, even in summer. Its durability also makes it an attractive option for those looking for a more eco-friendly mattress.
  

• Pocket springs : provide support and firmness, with excellent ventilation for those who like to sleep cool.
  

• Hybrid : the winning combination of foam and springs . You benefit from both the soft comfort of foam and the dynamic support of springs, with the added bonus of excellent motion isolation so two people can sleep undisturbed.

At Morphea, we combine these technologies so you can find the perfect balance between comfort, support, and breathability . Discover our guide to choosing the best mattress .
