To properly measure your mattress size, you need to understand these basic measuring terms:

Length
Let’s first get to know the fun fact about length. It is from the old English ‘Lengou’, but in middle English, it became ‘Lengthe’ and today we have it as ‘Length’. The term Length is used to identify the size of a thing or object; it measures how “long” it is between two distance points. It is often the longest side of an object. So, bear in mind that the length of your mattress is what tells you how long the mattress is.

Width
Next is the width. Measuring the width of an object is equivalent to sourcing or measuring for the wideness. This requires you to measure from one side to the other. So, when you are asked for the width of your mattress, never forget that what you are answering for is the wideness of your mattress.

Inches
The mattress inch is what tells you the height of a mattress. It is how you know that a mattress is too low or too high for you. However, in Nigeria, the height of a mattress is measured in inches.

Things like measuring tape, ruler, and notes of money can be easily used to take measurement of your mattress.
