How to choose the mattress size? 

When choosing the ideal mattress size, you must take into account some personal factors that can directly influence the quality of sleep and your comfort. Answering some fundamental questions can guide you in this decision, and ensure that the size of the mattress matches your needs.

Do you sleep alone or share a bed?

• If you sleep alone, an individual-sized mattress can be a practical choice, optimizing space in the bedroom.
• If you share a bed, also evaluate your partner's space preferences. A double or larger mattress may be best suited to provide enough space for both of you to move around comfortably during the night.

What is the size of your room?

• Measure the available space in your room to determine the maximum size the mattress should have, without compromising the aesthetics and functionality of the space.
• Pay attention to the arrangement of other furniture in the room - such as the wardrobe and bedside tables - to ensure there is enough space for circulation.

Do you prefer more space to move around during the night?

• Evaluate your sleeping and movement style at night. If you like having space to stretch your arms and legs, a larger mattress - such as Queen or King Size - may be the most appropriate size.
• On the other hand, if you prefer to sleep cozily and find it easy to adapt to more compact spaces, a standard size mattress may be sufficient.

By answering these questions, you will be able to make more informed decisions about the ideal mattress size, ensuring not only a restful night's sleep, but also a harmonious adaptation to your bedroom environment and your individual preferences and needs.
