160x190 cm Mattress
The standard 160x190 cm mattress is the most widely used size and is considered the Italian standard for many beds, slatted bases and divan bases in Italy. This is reflected first of all in the production of beds, and in promotions, which always favour the 160x190 size, which continues to account for 90% of requests for double mattresses.
Is it right to consider 160x190 the standard size?
With today's average Italian height and the growing demand for 200 cm long mattresses, why keep producing 190 cm long mattresses? Because those 10 cm often solve space problems, since space is limited in many cases, especially in cities.

Bed with a 160x190 bed base: can you use a 200 cm long mattress?
A mattress larger than the bed base is not recommended because it could become deformed; however, the foot end of the mattress can often still be used if it rests on the edge of the bed frame (if the bed frame and bed base are more or less level). It is certainly a makeshift solution, which may not be aesthetically satisfying, but it can solve the problem of a bed that is smaller than the mattress if you want to change your mattress and buy a longer one for greater comfort because you are tall, without having to face the cost of a new bed.
Standard 160x190 Double Mattress
