Choose by the centimetre dimensions rather than the size names. Measured length × width × thickness, HIMARI is 210 × 100, 210 × 120 or 210 × 140 cm and approx. 10 cm thick; SORA is 200 × 100 or 200 × 140 cm and approx. 12 cm thick. No Japanese width matches a local mattress size exactly, so compare these measurements with the usable support area of your bed or the floor space you have, and check your sheets by the same centimetre dimensions.

Common Vietnamese bed widths: 1m (100 cm) · 1m2 (120 cm) · 1m4 (140 cm) · 1m6 (160 cm). Measure your floor, platform, or frame before ordering.
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 centimeter dimensions. Custom sizes are not available.
