Get an extra-length bed from The Mattress Warehouse for the most comfortable night’s rest

When choosing the right bed for a good night’s sleep, size matters.

Many people are familiar with standard bed sizes like single, three-quarter, double, queen, and king – but there’s a lesser-known option that offers unique benefits: the extra-length bed.

Below, we highlight the advantages of having an extra-length bed and a few of our favourite options.

Extra length beds

Extra-length beds are a variation of standard bed sizes that offer additional length compared to their regular counterparts.

For example, a standard king-size mattress measures 183cm x 188cm, while an extra-length king mattress comes with an additional 12cm, making it 183cm x 200cm in length.

Likewise, standard single, three-quarter, double, and queen-sized beds are all 188cm long, and their extra-length counterparts are 200cm long.

These beds are ideal for taller individuals who struggle with their feet hanging over the edge of the bed and can also benefit couples who value their sleeping space.

Advantages of an extra-length bed

For tall people, traditional bed sizes may lead to discomfort as their feet hang off the end, resulting in poor sleep quality.

An extra-length bed provides sufficient space for taller individuals to stretch out fully, promoting a more comfortable and restful sleep experience.

It also allows tall people to move around in bed and adopt various comfortable sleeping positions without feeling constrained.

This helps to reduce restlessness and contributes to a deeper, more rejuvenating sleep.

The benefits of an extra-length bed also extend to a tall person’s partner – even if they are not tall themselves.

This is because couples generally have different sleeping preferences, and extra-length beds offer enhanced motion isolation, meaning that partners are less likely to disturb each other during the night, and everyone gets a better night’s sleep.
