Spain uses a mix of traditional Spanish mattress sizes and common European sizes. Typical options include 90×190/200 cm for one person, 105×190/200 cm as a wider single, 135×190 cm and 150×190/200 cm for compact doubles, and 160×200, 180×200 and 200×200 cm for couples who want more room. There is no single mandatory standard: availability varies by brand, bed base and model.
The most useful rule is simple: choose a size that fits your body and bedroom first; then choose firmness, construction and support. A larger mattress is not automatically better, but one that is too short or narrow can limit comfort.
Common mattress sizes in Spain
| Size | Typical use | Who it may suit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80×200 cm | Compact single | One person in a small room | Common European format |
| 90×190 cm | Standard single | One person | Very common in Spain |
| 90×200 cm | Longer single | One person who wants more length | Common European format |
| 105×190/200 cm | Wide single | Solo sleeper wanting more room | Auping does not make 105 cm |
| 135×190 cm | Traditional compact double | Couples with limited space | Auping does not make 135 cm |
| 140×200 cm | Compact European double | Couples or spacious single use | Available in Auping systems depending on product |
| 150×190/200 cm | Traditional wider double | Couples | Auping does not make 150 cm |
| 160×200 cm | Spacious double | Couples wanting more independence | Auping double bases: 2×80 cm |
| 180×200 cm | Large double | Couples prioritising space | Auping double bases: 2×90 cm |
| 200×200 cm | Extra-wide double | Maximum room | Auping double bases: 2×100 cm |
Labels such as queen size and king size are not used consistently across countries and retailers. The safest comparison is always the actual size in centimetres.
What size should one person choose?
For one sleeper, 90 cm wide is a common reference because it provides enough room without taking over the bedroom. If you have more space or move a lot at night, 100, 120 or even 140 cm may feel more comfortable.
Length matters just as much as width. As a practical rule, the mattress should be longer than the tallest person using it. Auping recommends allowing at least 20 cm of extra length.
If you are 185 cm tall, a 190 cm mattress may therefore feel tight. A 200, 210 or 220 cm length can make more sense if the room allows it.
What mattress size should a couple choose?
A few extra centimetres make a noticeable difference when two people share a bed.
A 140 cm bed can work in a compact bedroom. 160 cm gives each person more room. 180 cm increases independence further, while 200 cm prioritises maximum space.
Auping boxsprings are available in widths of 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 and 200 cm, with lengths of 200, 210 and 220 cm. This lets you choose the size as part of the complete sleep system.
When choosing between 160, 180 and 200 cm, consider the usable bedroom space, how much each person moves, whether you prefer different firmness levels and whether you want two independent sleep surfaces.
160, 180 or 200 cm: what actually changes?
The main difference is the amount of personal space.
At 160 cm, each side is roughly 80 cm wide. At 180 cm, it is about 90 cm per person. At 200 cm, each side is about 100 cm.
In Auping double adjustable systems this is literal: 160 = 2×80, 180 = 2×90 and 200 = 2×100. Each side can move independently.
See how this works in the adjustable beds range.
Which length should you choose: 190, 200, 210 or 220 cm?
A useful rule is to look for around 20 cm more than the height of the tallest sleeper whenever the room allows it.
| Approximate height | Length to consider |
|---|---|
| Up to 170 cm | 190 cm may be enough |
| 170–180 cm | 200 cm gives more margin |
| 180–190 cm | 210 cm may be more comfortable |
| Over 190 cm | Consider 220 cm |
This is guidance, not a rigid rule. Sleeping position, pillow, available room and bed frame also matter.
Does Auping make 105, 135 or 150 cm mattresses?
No. Auping does not manufacture 105, 135 or 150 cm mattresses.
That matters if you already own an older frame in one of these sizes, because the mattress must fit the base correctly.
The Auping mattress range includes configurations within approximately 70 to 200 cm in width and 190 to 220 cm in length, depending on model. That does not mean every intermediate width is produced.
Main Auping size ranges
| Auping system | Widths | Lengths |
|---|---|---|
| Mattresses | roughly 70–200 cm depending on model/configuration | 190–220 cm |
| Boxsprings | 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200 cm | 200, 210, 220 cm |
| Bed bases | 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200 cm | from 190 to 220 cm |
| Double adjustable bases | 160 = 2×80; 180 = 2×90; 200 = 2×100 | according to configuration |
Does size determine mattress quality?
No. Size and quality are separate decisions.
An 180×200 mattress is not better than a 160×200 simply because it is larger. Size determines space. Comfort also depends on support, body adaptation, ventilation, firmness and the bed base.

What should you measure before buying?
Do not measure only the footprint of your current bed.
Check the available width and length, but also make sure doors and wardrobes can open, both sides remain accessible and you can move comfortably around the bed.
Also distinguish between mattress size and the outer dimensions of the bed. An upholstered frame or headboard can make the total bed larger than the mattress itself.
Frequently asked questions
Common sizes include 90×190/200 cm for one person; 105×190/200 cm as a wider single; 135×190 and 150×190/200 cm as traditional doubles; and 160×200, 180×200 and 200×200 cm as wider double options.
If both fit the room, 160 cm gives 10 cm more total width and is widely used in European systems. Auping does not manufacture 150 cm, so 160 cm is the closest spacious double option in its range.
160×200 cm is spacious for many couples; 180×200 provides more independence and 200×200 prioritises maximum personal space.
As a practical guide, aim for a mattress around 20 cm longer than the tallest person using it.
The term king size is not fully standardised. Always use the actual centimetre dimensions when comparing products.
No. Mattress and base dimensions should match so the full sleeping surface is correctly supported.
Double configurations use two independent bases: 160 cm uses two 80 cm bases, 180 cm uses two 90 cm bases, and 200 cm uses two 100 cm bases.
Choose the size first, then the sleep feel
Once width and length are clear, compare firmness, support and ventilation. Browse the Auping mattress range to see which options fit the size you need.
