One detail surprises almost every foreign homeowner: <strong>Italian bed and mattress sizes are different from those in the UK, the rest of Europe and the US<\/strong>. Here is a clear guide, plus how we can help.<\/p>\n<h2>Why bed sizes matter when you furnish a home in Italy<\/h2>\n<p>If you bring a bed frame from home, or order linen and duvets from abroad, they may not match Italian mattresses \u2014 and vice versa. Italian mattresses are usually <strong>190 or 200 cm long<\/strong>, and widths follow their own standards. Getting this right from the start saves you time, money and returns.<\/p>\n<h2>Italian bed &amp; mattress sizes (standard)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Singolo<\/strong> (single): 80 \u00d7 190\/200 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Singolo XL<\/strong>: 90 \u00d7 190\/200 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Una piazza e mezza<\/strong> (small double): 120 \u00d7 190\/200 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Francese<\/strong> (French \/ small double): 140 \u00d7 190\/200 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matrimoniale<\/strong> (double): 160 \u00d7 190\/200 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matrimoniale maxi<\/strong>: 170\u2013180 \u00d7 190\/200 cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>UK bed sizes (for comparison)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Single: 90 \u00d7 190 cm<\/li>\n<li>Small Double: 120 \u00d7 190 cm<\/li>\n<li>Double: 135 \u00d7 190 cm<\/li>\n<li>King: 150 \u00d7 200 cm<\/li>\n<li>Super King: 180 \u00d7 200 cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>European (EU) bed sizes<\/h2>\n<p>In much of Northern and Central Europe the standard length is 200 cm.
