Mattress sizes in Spain: a guide to the right choice

Mattress sizes in Spain: a guide to the right choice

Published by Leafsleep on 11th Apr 2025

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

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

Standard mattress sizes

Single mattress

  • Dimensions: 90-98 x 190/200 cm
    Designed for one person - children, teenagers or adults who sleep alone. It is a practical solution for small spaces, shared or private rooms, while maintaining comfort.

Body and middle mattress

  • Dimensions: 105-120 x 190/200 cm
    It offers more space than the single and less volume than the double. It is a balanced option for growing young people or guest rooms.

Double mattress

  • Dimensions: 133/183-135-140 x 190/200 cm**
    The most traditional model, ideal for couples or guest bedrooms. Before buying, make sure that the space allows for good circulation around the bed.

Queen size mattress

  • Dimensions: 150-160 x 190/200 cm
    More spacious than the classic double, it offers greater freedom of movement during the night. Suitable for master bedrooms with a larger surface 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 spacious room to maintain functionality and comfort.

Super King Size mattress

  • Dimensions: 200 x 200 cm
    The largest format on the market, designed for those seeking maximum comfort and with ample space.

Factors to consider when choosing a mattress

  • Available space: measure the room carefully to ensure that the mattress adapts to its surroundings.

  • User height: the length of the mattress should ideally be at least 20 cm greater than the person's height.

  • Comfort needs: consider the type of support, firmness and thermal regulation required.

Types of mattress material

The choice of material directly affects comfort, durability and breathability. The most common are:

Foam

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

Bagged mushrooms

In bagged pillow-top mattresses, each pillow acts independently, offering localized support and reducing the transfer of movements. This type of mattress is recommended for couples and people looking for firmness combined with comfort.

Muelles Bonnell

There are also Bonnell pillow-top mattresses, which are firmer and more uniform. As they transmit more movement, they may not be the best option 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 mattress.

Temperature also plays an essential role:

  • Bagged blankets: provide better ventilation, ideal for warm climates.

  • Foam: tends to retain heat, which makes it comfortable in cold areas.

Some ranges include thermal regulation technologies, such as Luxury Gel mattresses, which maintain a balanced temperature throughout the night.

Mattress maintenance tips

  • Regular rotation: on models with two equal faces, rotate and turn the mattress periodically for even wear.

  • Ventilation: Air the mattress as often as possible to avoid damp and bad smells.

  • Protection: use a waterproof mattress protector (available in our online shop) to improve hygiene and extend its useful life.

  • Additional comfort: if you're looking for extra comfort, you can add a topper. However, it is important to check the condition of the base mattress, since if it is in poor condition it could have the opposite effect to that desired.

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