Useful tips for choosing the right size
Ensure that the mattress dimensions are 10cm longer than the tallest person using
the mattress. Nobody wants cold feet on a chilly winter's night after all.
You also want to be able to stretch when you wake to really start the day. Get the
width right by tucking both hands under your head and if your elbow touches the
edge of the mattress or the person next to you, you may need a larger mattress.
If you're giving your bedroom a makeover make sure you measure the space you
have in your room. It could be the difference between a modest double and a mega
super king.
