Find Your Ideal Mattress Size: A Guide to Room Fit and Sleeping Comfort

Only the right mattress on your favourite bed frame can earn you the required sleeping comfort and energy for a fresh morning. If you are confused about the size of the mattress, like which size you need to buy for a good night's sleep, you are not alone in NZ. There are many size varieties available in the market, which can make it confusing for you to decide which one to choose. 

Should you get a Single or a King? What size fits your room? What size is best if you move around a lot in your sleep? In this blog, let’s make things easy for you. Consider it as your small guidebook to decide the best mattress size that suits your sleeping habits and your room space.

Start with the Size of Your Room

A bed is not the only furniture to remain in your bedroom; it must be accompanied by other storage furnishings like the bedside tables and wardrobe. Special attention will be required if the room size is small. Because you can’t put a king or super king mattress in a small room, otherwise there will be no space left for comfortable moving around.

If your room is big, you can choose a bigger mattress. A wider mattress is always the best choice because you can achieve more room to move freely, or you can comfortably share your room with others. The key to comfort is leaving enough space to move in the room after placing the mattress.

Mattress Sizes available in the market

Let’s look at the common mattress sizes you’ll find in the NZ market.

Single: A Single mattress is perfect for kids or small rooms. It is great for one person. It does not take much space and can also be used for guest rooms.

King Single: A little wider and longer than a Single. King Single mattress gives extra room for teenagers or adults who like more space. It is also a good pick for taller people.

Double: A Double mattress is wider and gives more room to move. It is nice for one person who likes more space or for two people who don’t mind sleeping close.

Queen: This is one of the most popular mattress sizes. Queen mattress fits well in most rooms and gives plenty of space for couples. It also works well for single people who like to spread out.

King: The King mattress is very wide and super comfy. It is dedicated to couples who need a spacious mattress to sleep on. In a medium to large-sized bedroom, you can comfortably use a King mattress for a cosy sleep.

Super King: Super King size is the largest option available here. It gives the most space and is perfect for couples, families or anyone who just loves having room to move.

You can find all these sizes easily at NZ stores. Despite sizes, mattresses come with different technologies too, like inner spring, pocket spring, and memory foam, which are major deciding factors for the comfort factor of a mattress.

Think About How You Sleep

The way you sleep also helps decide the best mattress size.

If you sleep alone and don’t move much, a Single or King Single may be just fine. If you toss and turn, a Double or Queen gives more room.

If you share your bed with someone else, a Queen bed, King bed or Super King bed is better. The maximum space will allow you not to bump into your partner in between sleep. If, as a couple, you sleep together with your kid or pet, too, a King or Super King is the best pick.

Extra Storage Options Available

Sometimes, bedrooms have very little space for storage. This is when smart bed designs can help. Look for bed base options with storage drawers. The drawers are attached to the bed only; you don’t need to find a separate space for them. They remain hidden underneath the beds to store your stuff without making your space cluttered.

Choosing What Feels Best

Not only size, but its comfort too that matters while choosing a mattress to rest well. The choice should be influenced according to your body type and the way to sleep. Some people like soft beds. Some like firm ones. Some mattresses help reduce partner disturbance, so you don’t feel someone else moving.

If you are not sure what feels best, you can visit their store and try the beds yourself. The team at Budget Beds is always happy to help you find the right fit.

Think About the Future

If you are buying a mattress for your child, think about how long they will use it. A King Single can be a better long-term choice than a Single, especially as children grow fast. For guest rooms, Double or Queen sizes are a good option because they suit most people.

If you are moving house soon, think about whether your mattress will fit in the new room. A Queen might be easier to move than a Super King.

 At Budget Beds, you can find mattresses of all sizes and styles. Whether you need a soft bed for your child or a spacious King for your main bedroom, they have something for everyone. Choose the mattress that fits just right for your room and how you like to sleep. Because good sleep begins with the right bed, and the right bed begins with us.

You can also shop online or visit their store in Auckland to see and feel the mattresses before buying.
