Read on to ensure your mattress stays pristine and protected with a properly-sized mattress protector.
Mattress Protector Size Chart
Choosing the right mattress protector starts with understanding the six standard mattress sizes. Here is a handy mattress protector size chart covering dimensions for all the common mattress types:
This size chart provides the length, width, and recommended sleeper size for each mattress type. Make note of your specific mattress dimensions to ensure you get an accurately sized protector.
The most popular mattress sizes in Canada are:
- Queen — Ideal for single adults and couples. Provides ample room to stretch out.
- King — Made for couples who like extra spaciousness for sleeping.
- Twin/Twin XL — Great for kids and teens. Twin XL suits tall teenagers.
Now that you know the basic mattress protector dimensions, let’s go over how to accurately measure your bed.
How to Measure Your Mattress
Taking precise measurements of your mattress ensures you order the right protector size. Follow these steps:
- Use a soft measuring tape and lay it across the longest length of the mattress. Note the measurement in inches.
- Next, measure the width of the mattress from edge to edge in inches.
- Finally, measure the mattress depth. This is especially important for extra thick pillowtop or euro style mattresses.
- Record all the length, width, and depth figures. Compare them to a mattress size chart.
- For added accuracy, repeat the measurements a second time.
Other tips for measuring mattress size:
- Include any thick mattress topper or pad in your measurement if you plan to keep using it.
- For platform beds, measure inside the wooden frame as the protector fits inside.
- Round your measurement to the nearest whole inch.
- If in between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size protector.
Accurately measuring your mattress avoids issues like gapping, slipping, and poor fitting you can get with an incorrectly sized protector.
Let’s look at some examples of taking mattress measurements:
Example 1
- Length: 76 inches
- Width: 82 inches
- Height: 12 inches without topper
This mattress would best fit a king size mattress protector. The 2 extra inches in width still allows a good fit. And the protector depth fits the 12 inch height.
Example 2
- Length: 35 inches
- Width: 75 inches
- Height: 8 inches
These dimensions indicate a twin size mattress. The shorter length means a twin XL or larger protector would be too big.
Example 3
- Length: 60 inches
- Width: 70 inches
- Height: 18 inches with 3 inch topper
This measures closest to a queen size mattress. The width is slightly shorter but a queen protector will still fit. And the total height of 18 inches needs a deep pocket protector.
Next, let’s go over how to use your mattress dimensions to find just the right protector size.
Finding the Right Mattress Protector Size
With your precise mattress measurements in hand, use the following tips to determine the ideal mattress protector size:
- Compare your mattress length, width, and height figures to standard sizes on a mattress chart. This gives a starting point.
- Look for a protector that matches your mattress length and width as closely as possible. Being 1–2 inches under is okay.
- For depth, find a protector designed for your mattress thickness or slightly larger. Protectors are elasticized and allow some leeway in depth.
- Order the next size up if you are between standard mattress sizes. Oversized is better than undersized.
- View mattress protector size charts from manufacturers to pick the recommended size for your bed.
The protector you choose should fit like a fitted sheet — nice and snug but not tight or baggy. With millions of combinations of mattress sizes and protector sizes, knowing your exact mattress dimensions takes the guesswork out.
At Mattress To Door, our mattress protector sizes range from twin to California king so you can always get an exact match. And we’ll help determine sizing if you have any uncertainties.
