Manufacturer variation matters.

Bed height changes the finished size much more than the mattress label alone.

Measurement method

Start with the product and space you actually have.

  1. 1

    Measure the mattress. Record width, length, and full depth without relying on the label.

  2. 2

    Add every layer. Toppers and pads change fitted-sheet pocket needs.

  3. 3

    Choose coverage. Decide the side drop, foot drop, top alignment, and any tuck.

  4. 4

    Read finished dimensions. Compare your target with the actual product specification.
