Bed sizes in Mexico
When you move to Mexico, most people typically bring sheets that fit your bed home, but they may not fit your new bed here. Why? Mattress sizes differ from country to country, and Mexican-made sheets do not fit US and Canadian mattresses. Bed sizes can vary worldwide due to differences in manufacturing and various countries’ criteria.
This information is handy when purchasing mattresses for your home in Mexico or when purchasing sheets and blankets in Mexico for your beds in the US. Although the difference in sizing is minimal, your US bedding may not fit your Mexican mattress and vice versa. Differences in mattress measurements are a factor when moving from the US or Canada to Mexico.
