Mattress 100x220 cm: Comfort in Both Length and Width
The 100x220 cm mattress is an extra-large mattress. If you are taller than 190 cm, the 220 cm mattress length is probably the right choice for you. It is well suited to bedrooms where space is limited. This size offers plenty of space for a single tall person and is classified as an oversized mattress due to its exceptional length. When used in combination, two 100×220 cm mattresses can also be a good option for two people.
100×220 cm Mattress: Not Just for Tall People
Whether it’s a room in a shared flat, your first flat of your own, a child’s bedroom or a studio flat – bedrooms often don’t offer enough space for all the furniture you need. A 100×220 cm mattress is a good compromise here. Thanks to its larger size, you’ll enjoy slightly more comfort than on a 90×220 cm mattress and, above all, have more space lengthways than usual.
Note: As a general rule, make sure your mattress is about 20 centimetres longer than you are. However, even if you’re not two metres tall, you can still benefit from a 100×220 cm mattress. Thanks to its length, you’ll have significantly more legroom and freedom of movement in bed than with standard sizes. There are no ergonomic drawbacks to a 100×220 cm mattress.
An Adjustable Sleeping Surface
The 100×220 cm mattress only has room for one person. However, you can use two 100×220 cm mattresses in a 200×220 cm king-size bed. This provides space not only for two tall adults but also for children and pets. When combining two 100×220 cm mattresses, it’s important to cover the gap that can form between them. There are various ways to do this:
- Use a so-called ‘love bridge’. This is usually a foam wedge that closes the gap between the edges of the mattresses.
- With a 200×220 cm topper, you can cover the entire sleeping surface. To do this, your topper should be at least a few centimetres thick and offer a certain degree of stability. Only use ergonomic toppers that do not mask the properties of your mattress.
- Ideally, a narrow bed frame into which both mattresses are fitted can hold the mattresses so close together that the gap is barely noticeable.
- If you want a simple solution without having to worry too much, you can also use a single, continuous mattress.
Suitable Bedding for 100×220 cm Mattresses
Never place your mattress directly on the floor for any length of time. Otherwise, mould may form due to a lack of ventilation beneath the mattress. A 100×220 cm slatted base should be used under a 100×220 cm mattress. An extra-long slatted base or bed often costs more than standard models. In the worst-case scenario, a 220 cm length might even be sold to you as a bespoke item, meaning you have no right of return. bett1 also stocks extra-long slatted bases up to 220 cm as part of its standard range.

What’s Inside a Mattress Core?
At first glance, most 100×220 cm mattresses look very similar. Inside, however, they can have a number of distinctive features. Here is a brief overview of the properties of the most common materials used in mattress cores:
- Latex offers high point elasticity, but a 100×220 cm mattress made from this material is comparatively heavy and tends to feel quite firm.
- Spring mattresses are also tending to be heavier due to the metal springs in the core. When it comes to point elasticity, the meticulously crafted – and therefore somewhat more expensive – pocket spring mattresses offer the most precise support.
- Well-made foam mattresses, such as the BODYGUARD® Mattress 100×220 cm, impress with their point elasticity and particularly light weight.
As there are significant differences between types of foam, make sure when buying that the product is of high quality. There are numerous myths surrounding the quality of mattresses, which often sound promising but fail to deliver on their quality promises. These include, for example, the claim that a high density is synonymous with a high-quality mattress. The BODYGUARD® Mattress 100×220 cm has a low density of just 35 kg/m³. Thanks to the use of QXSchaum®, it nevertheless offers good ergonomic properties whilst being both stable and durable. Its light weight also makes it easy to carry, turn over and fit with a cover.
Mattress 100×220 cm: Wide Selection of Fitted Sheets
Fitted sheets are essential for comfort and hygiene. When using two mattresses together, a well-fitting fitted sheet is the finishing touch to cover the gap between them. If you use a topper on a 100×220 cm mattress, this increases the height your fitted sheet needs to cover everything properly. The height refers to the distance from the bottom edge of the mattress to the top edge of the sleeping surface. The BODYGUARD® Jersey Fitted Sheet is ideally suited to mattresses in standard use and, with a height of approx. 23 cm, still offers plenty of room if you’re also using a 100×220 cm topper or mattress protector. For particularly high mattresses, such as the BODYGUARD® Box Spring Mattress, the BODYGUARD® Fitted Sheet extra deep is ideal, with a generous height of approx. 50 cm. This allows you to fit mattresses up to a height of 34 cm perfectly.
