Custom Outdoor Mattress – The Complete Size Chart from 90×200 to 200×200
What size suits your daybed, your sun lounger or your outdoor bed? Most people choose their outdoor mattress by gut feeling – and only realise after delivery that 10 cm was too little or too much. In this guide, you'll find the complete size chart for made-to-measure outdoor mattresses: all standard sizes from 90×200 cm to 200×200 cm, which use case each one suits, and which thickness is recommended for each. Plus: what to do if your desired size isn't a standard size.
Outdoor mattress size chart – the overview at a glance
Before we go through each format individually, here are the key standard sizes in direct comparison. This table helps you quickly see which format suits which use case.
| Format | Recommended use | Recommended thickness | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90×200 cm | Single lounger, classic sun lounger | 8–10 cm | Classic wooden loungers, aluminium sun loungers |
| 100×200 cm | Comfort single lounger, wide sun lounger | 10 cm | Premium sun loungers, wide single loungers |
| 120×200 cm | Narrow daybed, single lounge | 10 cm | Pallet daybed, narrow lounge chairs |
| 140×200 cm | Standard daybed, double lounge | 10–12 cm | Classic outdoor daybeds, Bali loungers |
| 160×200 cm | Queen-size daybed, double sleeping spot | 12 cm | Pool daybed, guest sleeping spot outdoors |
| 180×200 cm | King-size daybed, wide outdoor bed | 12 cm | Premium pool loungers, outdoor sleeping area |
| 200×200 cm | Square daybed, XXL outdoor bed | 12–14 cm | Lounge islands, Bali daybeds, pavilion beds |
All sizes are available for the Marocco outdoor mattress – made entirely to measure, with a 100% olefin cover and mattress-quality PUR foam. Custom sizes between these standard sizes are available at no extra charge.
90×200 cm: the classic single-size mattress
The 90×200 cm size is the absolute classic for outdoor mattresses – and for good reason. It matches the standard size of a single mattress in the bedroom and fits almost any wooden sun lounger, aluminium sun lounger, or classic outdoor single lounger.
What is 90×200 cm suitable for?
- Classic teak sun loungers
- Aluminium sun loungers with webbing
- Narrow wellness loungers by the pool
- Sauna and wellness areas in hotels
- Guest loungers on patios
Recommended thickness: 8–10 cm
At 90×200 cm, a thickness of 8 cm is standard. If you regularly spend more than two hours on the lounger, you should go for 10 cm. You'll find more details in our guide What foam thickness for outdoor cushions?
Real-world tip
With a 90×200 lounger, buyers often check whether the lounger itself is actually 90 cm wide – or whether the seating surface is narrower. If there's only 85 cm of usable surface, order 85×200 instead (a custom size at no extra charge with Lulu-Belle). Our guide Sun lounger cushion made to measure: taking measurements correctly explains how to measure this properly.
100×200 cm: comfort single size for more legroom
100×200 cm is the more modern format for anyone who wants a bit more width without going all the way to daybed size. Ideal for premium sun loungers and comfort single loungers.
What is 100×200 cm suitable for?
- Premium sun loungers made from teak or acacia
- Wider wellness loungers
- Bali-style single loungers
- Lounge chairs with a wider seating surface
Recommended thickness: 10 cm
At this size, 10 cm thickness is worthwhile – the extra 10 cm of width calls for corresponding lounging comfort. If you're using this format on a Bali daybed or a premium lounger, you can also choose 12 cm.
120×200 cm: narrow daybed, wide single lounger
120×200 cm is the transitional size between a single lounger and a daybed. This size is popular for pallet furniture (a standard Euro pallet is 120×80 cm – two placed end to end give you 120×160 cm, and with a little overhang, 120×200 cm), for narrow lounge chairs, and for outdoor daybeds with a compact lounging surface.
What is 120×200 cm suitable for?
- Pallet daybeds (2 pallets lengthways)
- Narrow outdoor daybeds
- Oversized lounge chairs
- Transitional models between sun lounger and daybed
Recommended thickness: 10 cm
120×200 cm combined with 10 cm thickness gives an almost mattress-like lounging surface that's sufficient for longer lounging sessions. For pallet furniture and self-built daybeds, you'll find detailed tips in our guide Turning pallet furniture into cushioned comfort.
140×200 cm: the most popular outdoor mattress size
140×200 cm is by far the most common size for outdoor mattresses – and for good reason. It matches the standard French bed size (140 cm) while remaining compact enough for most outdoor daybed models.
What is 140×200 cm suitable for?
- Standard outdoor daybeds
- Bali loungers with classic dimensions
- Double lounges for relaxed summer days
- Outdoor sleeping spots for two adults
- Pallet beds made from 2 pallets crosswise plus a little overhang
Recommended thickness: 10–12 cm
At 140×200 cm, 10 cm is the minimum standard for comfortable use. If you use the daybed regularly or as a sleeping spot, go for 12 cm – that gives a genuine mattress feel.
Why 140×200 is the favourite size
Lulu-Belle customers order 140×200 more often than all other sizes combined. The reason: it's large enough for two people to relax, small enough for most patios and gardens, and fits the majority of commercially available outdoor daybeds.
160×200 cm: queen size for outdoor double use
160×200 cm corresponds to a queen-size mattress and is the format of choice for anyone who really wants to use their daybed for two – for reading, dozing, or as an occasional outdoor sleeping spot.
What is 160×200 cm suitable for?
- Premium outdoor daybeds
- XL-format Bali loungers
- Pool daybeds for two people
- Outdoor guest rooms and pavilion beds
Recommended thickness: 12 cm
From 160×200 cm upwards, we consistently recommend 12 cm thickness. This size is rarely used just for sitting – it's mostly for genuine lounging. A mattress-like thickness is essential for comfort here.
180×200 cm: king-size outdoor comfort
180×200 cm is the international king-size standard, and it's also a premium format for outdoor mattresses. It suits especially wide daybeds, large pool loungers, or full outdoor sleeping areas.
What is 180×200 cm suitable for?
- Premium pool daybeds and lounge islands
- Outdoor bedrooms on covered patios
- Spacious Bali loungers
- Hospitality and wellness areas with premium standards
Recommended thickness: 12 cm
At 180×200 cm, we stick with 12 cm as our recommendation. More thickness would be possible, but it makes handling noticeably more cumbersome on larger surfaces. A 180×200×12 mattress weighs around 18 kg – still manageable, but no longer lightweight.
200×200 cm: the square format for XXL daybeds
200×200 cm is the maximum among standard sizes – a square format suited to lounge islands, XXL daybeds and pavilion beds. If you're ordering 200×200, you typically have an exceptional piece of furniture that calls for a special cushion.
What is 200×200 cm suitable for?
- Lounge islands on large patios
- XXL Bali daybeds with pavilion
- Outdoor master-bed areas
- Exceptional pool lounges for four-person use
Recommended thickness: 12–14 cm
At this size, 12 cm is standard, 14 cm the premium option. If you use the XXL daybed regularly as a sleeping spot, go for 14 cm. If you use it as a lounge area, 12 cm serves you well.
Important to know
At this size, the cushion's weight (around 24 kg at 14 cm thickness) means it's no longer something you'd carry in and out of the garden every day. If you order 200×200, plan for a sheltered storage spot – pavilion, carport, covered patio, or a permanent place with a protective cover for the colder season.
Custom sizes: what if your size isn't listed?
The standard sizes above cover most outdoor furniture. But Lulu-Belle makes every size – at no extra charge. In this industry, custom sizes are almost the rule rather than the exception.
Common custom sizes among Lulu-Belle customers:
- 80×200 cm – narrow beach loungers and folding loungers
- 85×195 cm – older sun loungers with unusual sizes
- 110×190 cm – self-built loungers
- 130×210 cm – oversized sun loungers with adjustable backrests
- 150×220 cm – Bali daybeds with custom sizes
- 175×195 cm – self-built pavilion beds
If you have a piece of furniture with unusual dimensions, simply enter the length and width in the configurator. Tolerances: ±1 cm up to 100 cm length, ±2 cm up to 200 cm, ±3 cm beyond that. Our guide Daybed cushions: how to find the perfect outdoor mattress shows you how to measure your daybed correctly.
Which thickness suits which size?
A rule of thumb: the larger the lounging surface, the more thickness matters. On a narrow sun lounger, you only notice a too-thin cushion after lying on it for a while. On a large daybed, a thin cushion is a comfort killer from the start, because this kind of furniture is meant precisely for extended use.
| Size | Minimum thickness | Comfort thickness | Premium thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90×200 cm | 8 cm | 10 cm | 12 cm |
| 100×200 cm | 10 cm | 10 cm | 12 cm |
| 120×200 cm | 10 cm | 10 cm | 12 cm |
| 140×200 cm | 10 cm | 12 cm | 12 cm |
| 160×200 cm | 10 cm | 12 cm | 14 cm |
| 180×200 cm | 10 cm | 12 cm | 14 cm |
| 200×200 cm | 12 cm | 12 cm | 14 cm |
A practical note: more thickness means more weight. A 200×200×14 mattress weighs around 24 kg, while a 90×200×8 mattress weighs only about 4 kg. Keep this in mind when planning winter storage. If you want to know more about foam quality and thicknesses, you'll find detailed knowledge on our foam page.

Frequently asked questions about outdoor mattress size
Which outdoor mattress size is ordered most often?
140×200 cm is by far the most popular format. It fits the majority of commercially available outdoor daybeds, is large enough for two people to relax, and compact enough for most patios.
What does an outdoor mattress in 140×200 cm cost?
A Marocco outdoor mattress in 140×200×12 cm with standard fabric starts at around 380 euros. With premium fabric, around 420 euros. The exact price appears in the configurator on the product page as soon as you enter your measurements.
Can I also order custom sizes?
Yes, every size is possible – at no extra charge. Simply enter the length and width in the configurator. We manufacture with tolerances of ±1 to ±3 cm depending on size.
Which thickness is right for my daybed?
As a rule of thumb: 10 cm for standard use, 12 cm for regular lounging, 14 cm for outdoor-bed function. For sun loungers, 8–10 cm is usually enough. You'll find more on this in our guide to foam thickness.
How do I measure my daybed or sun lounger correctly?
You measure the inner usable lounging surface, not the outer frame. You'll find detailed instructions in our guides on sun lounger measurements and daybed cushions.
What if my mattress gets too heavy?
With large formats (180×200 cm and 200×200 cm) at 12–14 cm thickness, the weight can reach 18–24 kg. In that case, plan for a fixed spot with weather protection – the cushion isn't designed to be carried in and out every day.
Does Lulu-Belle deliver all sizes in the same lead time?
Yes, production time is independent of size – always 2 to 3 weeks, possibly 3 to 4 weeks in peak summer. Shipping is free within DACH and other EU countries.
Conclusion
The right outdoor mattress size is the foundation for years of outdoor comfort. The standard sizes 90×200, 100×200, 120×200, 140×200, 160×200, 180×200 and 200×200 cm cover most outdoor furniture – and for everything in between, custom sizes are available at no extra charge. Alongside length × width, the most important decision is thickness: 10 cm for standard, 12 cm for comfort, 14 cm for a full mattress feel outdoors.
Made-to-measure outdoor mattresses from Lulu-Belle are handcrafted in our own workshop in Hungary, made from mattress-quality PUR foam and a 100% olefin cover. For a complete overview of all cushion types, see our comprehensive guide Custom outdoor cushions.
