: The Full Mattress use in Asia

When you are in Asia you might find that the double mattress, sometimes called the full mattress, turns up in your hotel or hostel room from time to time. In ski resorts in Japan you might have a surprise when the mattress is too short for the men in your family.

The full mattress is 5 .5 feet and might be too short for Europeans and increasingly for Asians as well .It might be practical to mention when you reserve your room at an Asian hotel, what the height of the people in your party is. Then the hotel will make sure that if your party includes taller people or tall teenagers, they will give you a room with a bed that has a mattress that is longer than the full mattress.

People who are tall know to ask and hotels are not offended if you do. They usually have rooms with full mattresses and also with larger ones. Most hostels use the full mattress when they are purchasing beds for students and also for hotels that cater to mothers and children. In Japan there are a variety of ski resorts that cater to mothers and children, as well as to students on ski vacations.

In Asian ski resorts you will find that the additional 15-inch width of the full mattress makes it a very popular brand.
