Mattress Size Chart for the UAE: Single to Super King in cm

There is no single legal standard for mattress sizes in the UAE. Retailers import from different markets, so the same name can mean different dimensions depending on where a mattress was designed. The reliable way to compare is to ignore the label and go by centimetres, which is what the chart below does.

The size chart

These are the sizes most commonly sold in the UAE. Exact dimensions can vary by a few centimetres between brands, so always confirm on the product page.

Size name	Typical size (width x length, cm)	Usually suits
Single	90 x 190 or 90 x 200	One adult, children’s rooms, guest beds
Double	120 x 200	One adult who wants more room, or a compact bedroom
Queen	150 x 200 or 160 x 200	Couples in medium bedrooms
King	180 x 200	Couples who want extra space
Super King	200 x 200	Large master bedrooms

If you are choosing for a child, the right size depends on age and growth. Our guide to children’s mattress sizes by age covers that in detail, and the kids mattress range shows what is available.

Why the names don’t always match

Size names change by country. In UK sizing, a “king” is about 150 x 200 cm and a “super king” is 180 x 200 cm. In the US, king and queen mattresses are larger and use inches. In many UAE listings, 180 x 200 cm is called king.

So if you are replacing a mattress you bought abroad, or following a size from an overseas guide, the name may not carry over. Use the width and length in cm as your reference. For a closer look at the most common confusion, read is 180×200 a king size.

Checking the fit before you order

A mattress has to fit more than the room.

• The frame: Bed frames are built around a stated mattress size, but the frame itself is larger than the mattress. Check the frame’s internal dimensions and its footprint, as explained in our post on bed frame dimensions vs mattress size.
• Bedding: Fitted sheets must match both the size and the mattress depth. If you are buying for a 180 x 200 bed, see the fitted sheet guide.
• The room: Leave enough walking space on at least two sides of the bed, and allow for bedside tables and wardrobe doors.
• Delivery: A rolled or boxed mattress is easy to carry, but the frame is not, so confirm it will pass your door and lift.
