140x220

140x220 refers to a bed or mattress size with a width of 140 centimeters and a length of 220 centimeters (about 55 by 87 inches). This long, narrow format is most common in continental Europe and other markets that use metric sizing. It offers extra length for tall sleepers while keeping a narrower width compared with larger doubles or queen sizes.

The 140x200 standard is more common in many regions, so the 140x220 size is typically chosen by individuals who need additional length without increasing width. Availability varies by country and retailer, and some manufacturers label it as a long double or simply as a 140x220 option. Bedding such as sheets, fitted sheets, duvet covers, and protectors are generally sold in 140x220 cm, though some brands also offer compatible sets in nearby lengths like 140x210 or 140x230.

Mattress and bed-frame compatibility is important: a 140x220 mattress requires a frame, foundation, or slatted base that matches those exact dimensions. Ensure the frame’s length accommodates the 220 cm mattress, and verify that slats or supports provide adequate center support for the longer sleeping surface.

In practice, 140x220 beds are used in households, guest rooms, and some hotels in regions where metric bed sizes are standard. They are part of the broader spectrum of European bed dimensions and are distinct from the more widely known 140x200 or 160x200 formats found in other markets. When shopping, verify both width and length to avoid fit issues.
