European Single Mattress

European Single Mattresses in Ireland - 90 x 200cm Mattresses with Free Delivery

A European single mattress measures 90 x 200cm — the same width as a standard Irish single (90cm) but 10cm longer at 200cm instead of 190cm. At Beds.ie, we stock European single mattresses with free delivery across Ireland and Northern Ireland, specifically for bed frames that use the continental 90 x 200cm sizing standard.

The European single mattress size — sometimes listed as 3ft by 6ft6, 90 x 200, or continental single — is the standard single bed size across mainland Europe. In Ireland, our standard single measures 90 x 190cm. The difference is just 10cm in length, but it matters: a 190cm mattress on a 200cm frame leaves an uncomfortable gap at the foot, and a 200cm mattress will not fit a 190cm frame.

When Do You Need a European Single?

The most common reason is an IKEA bed frame. IKEA uses European sizing across their entire range, so any IKEA single bed frame needs a 90 x 200cm mattress, not a standard Irish 90 x 190cm. If you have bought a bed frame from IKEA, a European furniture retailer, or imported a bed from the continent, check the sleeping platform dimensions — if it measures 200cm long, you need a European single mattress.

European single mattresses are also used in some bunk beds and high sleepers that use the longer 200cm sleeping platform, particularly models manufactured in Europe.

European Single Mattress Dimensions

Width: 90cm (3 feet). Length: 200cm (6 feet 6 inches). This is 10cm longer than a standard Irish single (190cm / 6 feet 3 inches). Some retailers list this as 3ft x 6ft6 or simply as the metric dimensions 90 x 200cm. All refer to the same size.
