Checking mattress size charts is a prudent decision, given the various bed mattress sizes available in the market today. A small, uncomfortable mattress can not only wreak havoc on your back but will also give you sleepless nights. And that contributes to many health problems.

If you pick the wrong bed mattress sizes you will not only end up spending a significant amount of money but will also have to go through the grind of hauling it back to the store. So it's imperative to pick correctly the first time around. Let's take the example of a couple who squeeze themselves into a double without realizing that their bed only offers the width size of a crib for each person.

How well you sleep will have an impact on your energy level through out the day. So don't make the mistake that most first time buyers make of purchasing a small mattress. Look at the following list and the table afterwards to help you determine the mattress size that you should pick:

• The number of people who will sleep on the mattress
• Your weight and height
• The size of your bedroom
• The furnishing used around the mattress

This is one of the basic mattress size charts that depict the length and width in both inches and centimeters. You can opt for these sizes even when buying a memory foam mattress.

Choosing The Right Mattress Size

• While looking at the different mattress size charts ensure that the length of the mattress should be 6 inches more than the height of the person who intends to use the bed.
• The next constraint should be the width, unfortunately you cannot use mattress size charts to determine if the width of the bed is comfortable; for this you will need to try out various bed mattress sizes by lying on them comfortably with a pillow below your head. Now put your hands behind your head and see if your elbows go beyond the mattress if you are shopping for one person or if it touches the elbow of the other person when picking a mattress for two people.
• The size of the room will also be a factor; after all, you don't want to bump into the furniture every time you try to get into bed so leave a clearance of at lease 22 inches on all sides of the mattress
• If you are shopping for kids or teenagers remember that they are going to grow, so purchasing cheaper small bed mattress sizes today will just pave the way for extra expenditure to buy a larger mattress in a few years or even months.
