How to Measure a Mattress Correctly? Full Steps!

When you purchase a new mattress, or a hybrid mattress, of course,you will want to know the actual size and whether it is the same size as the one you purchased. When you find that the mattress size differs too much from the size you purchased, then you need to check if there is something wrong with your measurement method.

If the measurements are still the same after several times, then you may need to contact the mattress company to verify and replace the product.

How to properly measure the length, width and depth

1. Remove all sheets, blankets, and pillows from the mattress

The first step is to remove any bedding, including sheets, that may interfere with the measurement. This will give the most accurate measurement results. (Recommendation: general bedding should be washed once a week to help prevent allergen build-up.)

2. Measure from the left side of the mattress to the right side to obtain the width

If your mattress bends outward on either side, you need to measure where the mattress protrudes the most. Make sure you measure from top to bottom at the widest point.

3. Measure from the back of the mattress to the front edge to obtain the length

If the edges of your mattress curve outward at the front and back. Then remember to measure from the furthest point of each edge.

4. Measure from the bottom to the top of the mattress to obtain the height

If you still want to know the thickness of your mattress, measure from the top of the mattress to the bottom. Depending on your bed frame, you may need to remove the mattress and place it on the floor to get the most accurate measurement.
