Local mattress sizes vary by country and by maker, so compare the centimetre dimensions with the usable support area of your frame rather than relying on a size name.
Fitting a frame and choosing sheets
If you plan to use a bed frame built for a local mattress size, measure its inside dimensions and make sure the whole shikibuton is supported. Choose sheets and covers by the centimetre dimensions. Custom sizes are not available.
