• Queen size mattress (150-160 x 190/200 cm) - more spacious than the classic double model, it provides greater freedom of movement during the night.
• King size mattress (180 x 190/200 cm) - ideal for couples who value space or for those who share a bed with small children.
• Super King Size mattress (200x200 cm) - this is the largest format available on the market, designed for those looking for maximum comfort in large spaces.

Custom-made mattresses

The standard size doesn't always fit the space in your room or your individual needs. That's why we offer made-to-measure mattress solutions, guaranteeing personalized comfort without compromising the design of your bed or sommier.

How high should a mattress be?

The height directly influences comfort and durability.

• Between 16 and 20 cm - less recommended for adults.
• From 24 to 30 cm - greater comfort, several layers of materials and greater support.

We suggest mattresses with a minimum height of 20 cm for adults to ensure proper spinal alignment.

 

Which mattress is best for your back: springs or foam?

This is one of the most common questions. The answer depends on the user's profile:

Mattress with pocket springs:

• Firm support, optimum breathability and independence of movement, offering localized support and reducing movement transfer.
• Ideal for couples and users looking for firmness with comfort.

Foam mattress with viscoelastic:

• It adapts to the body, reduces pressure points and helps align the spine.
• Suitable for those suffering from lower back or neck pain.
