A lot of European-made single beds are built for 90 x 200 cm, including many from IKEA, but not every IKEA bed is a European size, so measure the inside of your frame rather than going by where it came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWill a UK single mattress fit a European single bed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA UK single mattress will go into a European single bed but leaves a 10 cm gap, because the mattress is 190 cm long and the frame is 200 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an adult's bed, that gap mostly means a mattress that shifts up and down the frame, and pillows that slip into the space when it opens up at the head end. On a child's bed, bunk or high sleeper it's more serious, because a gap between mattress and frame is a place where an arm or leg can get trapped. Many European-made bunks take 90 x 200 cm, so check before reusing an old UK mattress on one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn't work the other way round either. A 90 x 200 cm mattress is 10 cm too long for a UK single frame, so it won't lie flat in it. For a 190 cm bed, choose from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/single-mattresses\"\u003eUK single mattresses\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is a European single mattress good for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA European single is good for anyone who needs a single bed with more length: tall teenagers, tall adults, and anyone whose single, bunk or high sleeper frame was made for 90 x 200 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mattress should be about 10 to 15 cm longer than the tallest person who sleeps on it. On that rule, a 190 cm UK single suits sleepers up to about 175 to 180 cm, and a 200 cm European single suits sleepers up to about 185 to 190 cm. For a teenager who's still growing, that extra length is room to grow into. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/teen-mattresses\"\u003eteen mattresses\u003c\/a\u003e page has more on choosing for that age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a raised bed, check the depth as well. European-made high sleepers have a maximum mattress line like any other, and many raised beds take a mattress up to 15 to 16 cm deep, but the line on your own bed is the figure that counts. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/high-sleeper-mattresses\"\u003ehigh sleeper and cabin bed mattresses\u003c\/a\u003e page explains how to read it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan two European singles make a super king?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, two European singles side by side make exactly 180 x 200 cm, the size of a UK super king. Two UK singles only make 180 x 190 cm, which is 10 cm too short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's handy in a guest room that switches between twin beds and one big bed, or for a couple who want a different firmness each side. You will feel a join down the middle, and the two mattresses need a frame that holds them snugly together. If you'd rather have one unbroken surface, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/super-king-mattresses\"\u003esuper king mattresses\u003c\/a\u003e are the simpler choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat bedding fits a European single bed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA European single bed needs fitted sheets and a mattress protector made for 90 x 200 cm, because UK single ones are cut for a 190 cm mattress and come up 10 cm short. A standard UK single duvet (135 x 200 cm) works well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you buy fitted sheets, check the pocket depth as well as the size: it needs to be deeper than the mattress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the rest of the European range, from small double to king, see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/european-mattresses\"\u003eguide to European size mattresses\u003c\/a\u003e.
