I know it's confusing. We have so much mattress sizes in the market. Practically everything when you think about it. The notorious problem here when you buy beddings is that lengths are always different, even height! A good basic guide is to follow the Uratex sizes with 75" length.

Uratex
Uratex is a local Filipino brand loved by the whole nation for their quality foam and bed products. 78" as far as a I know is a special size and therefore, made-to-order.
Common sizes:
Single = 36" x 75"/78"
Double = 48" x 75"/78"
Full = 54" x 75"/78"
Queen = 60" x 75"/78"
King = 72" x 75"/78"

Tempur
I was contemplating between this and Simmons, however, I did decide to go with the former. I have no experience (aside from pillows) with the Tempur mattress but for those mattress snobs out there, this is absolutely perfect!
100 cm x 200 cm = 39-3/8" X 78-3/4"- equivalent to single
135 cm x 190 cm = 53-1/8"X 74-3/4" - equivalent to double
152 cm x 203 cm = 60" X 80" - equivalent to queen
180 cm x 200 cm = 71" X 78-3/4" - equivalent to king
193 cm x 203 cm = 76" X 80" - equivalent to American King
200 cm x 200 cm = 71" X 71"
I told you it was confusing! I will not even get into the different heights as there is so much! Just one last reminder before you buy your mattress. Check where to buy the beddings as these are all different sizes. Unfortunately, one size does NOT fit all. I hope somehow this enlightens you a little bit. Buying a mattress is not as easy as it seems. Do your research and go visit the mattress showrooms! On another day, I'll give you some tips on how to choose your mattress type.
