Fun Fact: The longer side of an A4 paper, e.g. a foolscap or most printing papers, is exactly 1 ft (foot).
P.S. Foot here refers to the standard unit of measurement, not your leg 🙈.
This means that a 5 by 6 mattress is 5 foolscaps wide and 6 foolscaps long, as seen in the image above.
Using this hack, you measure the size of your bed and quickly proceed to order your mattress. As you best dianabol do so, please ensure that you measure the inner frame of the bed; where your mattress will lie. Measuring the outer frame could skew your measurements and you might end up buying a 3.5×6 mattress when your bed actually needs a 3×6.

And what’s the difference between a 6-inch and 8-inch mattress?
Most mattress in Kenya are available in two thicknesses: the 6-inch and the larger 8-inch. For MoKo mattresses, both the 6 and 8-inch offer the same comfort and durability, they only differ in thickness. The 8-inch comes with extra foam for dreamers that like a raised mattress. It also comes in handy if you have a slightly raised bed frame sideboard and you’d like your mattress to rise above it. It especially makes it easier to tuck your sheets when spreading your bed.
We have another easy MoKo hack to help you figure out the difference between the two mattress thicknesses.
