Mattress Protector Sizes Australia (Size Chart in cm)

Australian mattress protector sizes in cm: Single 91 x 188, King Single 107 x 203, Double 137 x 188, Queen 152 x 203 and King 183 x 203, each with a 40 cm fitted skirt. Cot (68 x 130 cm) and bassinet (40.5 x 56 cm) sizes are also made. Choose the protector that matches your mattress size; the fitted skirt stretches to hold it on.

How to measure your mattress for a protector

Measure the width and length of the mattress top, then the depth from the top surface to the base. Width and length tell you the size to buy from the chart; depth tells you whether the skirt will reach. The 40 cm fitted skirt on Tontine protectors covers standard mattresses, pillow-top mattresses and most mattress-plus-topper combinations, with the elastic pulling the excess under the mattress. A protector is cut to the mattress size rather than oversized, so it sits flat and does not bunch under a fitted sheet.

Protector, topper and sheet: what goes where

The order from the mattress up is mattress, topper (if you use one), mattress protector, then fitted sheet. Putting the protector over the topper keeps both the mattress and the topper clean and dry; if you add a topper, the skirt depth still matters because the protector now has to reach around both layers. Waterproof, anti-allergy and cotton protectors all use the same size chart, so choose the fabric for your needs and the size from the table. The Mattress Protector Buying Guide compares the fabrics.
