Mattress 90x220 cm – Extra Length for Taller Sleepers
Are you tall and regularly find your feet hanging over the end of the bed? Then a mattress 90x220 cm is well worth considering. Offering 20 cm more length than the standard size of 90x200 cm, it ensures that even taller people can stretch out comfortably and enjoy a restful night's sleep.
Mattress 90x220 cm at a Glance
- Extra-long single mattress
- for people approximately 190 cm tall and above
- 20 cm longer than the standard size
- ideal for long single beds or double beds 180x220 cm
Für wen eignet sich die Matratze 90x220 cm?
Ideally, a mattress should provide at least 10 cm of spare length at both the head and foot end. That is why a mattress 90x220 cm is ideal if you are particularly tall. It gives you enough space to stretch out fully without having to bend your legs or curl up. Of course, shorter people can also sleep comfortably on a mattress 90x220 cm.
As for width, bear in mind that 90 cm is the standard width of a single mattress. If you are not only tall but also broader in build, a wider mattress size may be a better choice, such as a mattress 100x220 cm, 120x220 cm or 140x220 cm.
| Height | Recommended Mattress Length |
|---|---|
| up to 180 cm | 200 cm |
| up to 190 cm | 210 cm |
| 190 cm and above | 220 cm |
For Single or Double Beds
You’ll enjoy a mattress 90x220 cm most comfortably on your own. Placed side by side, two of these mattresses become part of an extra-long king-size double bed 180x220 cm. This option is particularly useful if you and your partner prefer different firmness levels. If that is not the case, a single-piece mattress 180x220 cm may be the better choice. Not only is a continuous double mattress often a bit more affordable than two single mattresses, but it also eliminates the uncomfortable gap between the mattresses.
Buying a Mattress 90x220 cm – What to Look Out For?
The Right Material
When buying a mattress, many people ask themselves: pocket sprung or foam? Or perhaps even latex? Each construction has its own advantages. Provided the right quality, any of these materials can offer excellent support. Beyond that, it largely comes down to personal preference. Thanks to their high breathability, pocket sprung mattresses generally provide a cooler sleeping environment. If you tend to feel cold at night, a mattress 90x220 cm made of cold foam may be the better choice for you.
Made from a Single Piece
For manufacturing reasons, many mattress brands only offer mattresses up to a length of 200 cm. Extra-long sizes are often made to order, non-returnable and sometimes extended with glued-on sections, which can compromise durability. That is why it is worth choosing a model that is produced as a standard size. BODYGUARD® mattresses are also available in extra-long and custom sizes as part of the regular range – with no glued seams, free delivery, a 100-night trial and a money-back guarantee.
Hygiene Starts with the Cover
With many mattress models, the cover can only be washed at up to 40°C or cannot be removed at all. This can create an ideal environment for dust mites and bacteria. The HyBreeze® Cover used on BODYGUARD® mattresses can be removed, separated into two parts and machine-washed at 60°C. For better hygiene in your bedroom.
Tested for Harmful Substances
Certifications such as OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 ensure that the finished product has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health – particularly important for products like mattresses that are in close and prolonged contact with the skin.
The Right Firmness Level
Choosing the right firmness level is a matter of personal preference – not body weight. A good mattress will support you properly regardless of its firmness. BODYGUARD® mattresses have to sides. One side offers a firmer feel, while the other is softer. This means you can still change your mind even after purchase. Incidentally, most people in Germany prefer a medium-firm mattress.
Sleep Trial
Your body needs time to adjust to a new mattress. A few minutes of trying it out in a store, in unfamiliar surroundings and under the watchful eyes of sales staff, is simply not enough. Therefore, when buying a mattress, make sure there is an option to test it over an extended period. With BODYGUARD® mattresses from bett1.de, you can enjoy a 100-night sleep trial – in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace.
Cold Foam Mattress 90x220 cm – Proven and Versatile
The core of a 90x220 cm cold foam mattress is made from cold-cured polyurethane foam. However, there are many different types of cold foam. Compared to conventional cold foams, QXSchaum® Mattress Foam by bett1.de offers numerous advantages.
QXSchaum® Mattress Foam – The Innovative Mattress Foam
BODYGUARD® mattresses feature a core made of QXSchaum® Mattress Foam. This is a cold foam specifically developed for mattresses. Through a process known as crushing, QXSchaum® Mattress Foam acquires its open-cell structure, which provides better airflow than you may be accustomed to from other types of foam. QXSchaum® Mattress Foam is also distinguished by its high point elasticity and shape stability. It relieves pressure points precisely where needed and provides ergonomic support for your body.
Advantages of a 90x220 cm Cold Foam Mattress Made from QXSchaum® Mattress Foam
- High point elasticity --> provides targeted support for the shoulders and hips
- Retains its shape even after years of use --> long-lasting ergonomic sleeping comfort
- Excellent airflow thanks to its open-cell structure --> balanced sleep climate
- Easy handling due to its lightweight material --> effortless turning to try both firmness levels
- Suitable for back, side, and stomach sleepers
The Right Fitted Sheet
A high-quality fitted sheet helps preserve your mattress cover and protects it from dirt and stains. For your 90x220 cm mattress, you will also need a matching 90x220 cm fitted sheet. Thanks to their all-around elastic band and elastane content, BODYGUARD® fitted sheets made from durable cotton jersey fit smoothly and wrinkle-free on your 90x220 cm mattress. Also make sure to choose the correct pocket depth for your fitted sheet. If you opt for a extraodinarily thick mattress, such as the BODYGUARD® Box Spring Mattress, an extra-deep fitted sheet may be required.
The Right Slatted Frame
A 90x220 cm mattress needs the right foundation. That foundation is a 90x220 cm slatted frame. The BODYGUARD® Slatted Frame, made from 100% flexible beech wood, is also available in extra-long sizes. It offers the ideal combination of cushioning and support while ensuring good air circulation beneath your mattress, helping to prevent mold and other moisture-related issues.
90x220 cm Mattress Test Winner – Which Mattress Is the Best?
The most commonly tested mattress sizes are the standard dimensions, especially the 90x200 cm mattress. Mattress tests specifically for extra-long sizes such as 90x220 cm are relatively rare. However, you can generally assume that the other sizes of a test-winning mattress perform just as well.
The Best Cold Foam Mattress Ever Tested: Rating 1.6
The best cold foam mattress ever tested by Stiftung Warentest is the BODYGUARD® Anti-Kartel-Matratze®. The classic 90x200 cm single mattress was tested in the medium-firm & firm version ("test" 2/2024). The BODYGUARD® Anti-Cartel Mattress® received good or very good ratings in every category evaluated.
A 90x220 cm mattress is particularly suitable for taller individuals from around 190 cm in height. The additional 20 cm of length compared to the standard 90x200 cm size ensures that your legs and feet rest comfortably on the mattress, allowing you to sleep comfortably and fully supported.
Yes. Two 90x220 cm mattresses together create the sleeping surface of a 180x220 cm double bed. This is especially practical if both sleepers prefer different firmness levels. Alternatively, a single-piece 180x220 cm mattress can eliminate the gap between two mattresses.
Look for high-quality materials, a cover that can be washed at 60°C, certified testing for harmful substances, and the option of a sleep trial. It is also important to ensure that the 90x220 cm mattress is manufactured in this size as a standard product and is not simply an extended version of a standard mattress.
