Mattress sizes can be quite confusing. Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type. However, Nigerian manufacturers have standard sizes and knowing the difference between them can help you choose the right one for your home.
