Quoting%20commentary for Kelim 19:3

מִזְרָן הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַמִּטָּה, כָּל שֶׁהוּא, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, עַד עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים. שְׁיָרֵי מִזְרָן, שִׁבְעָה טְפָחִים, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹתוֹ חֶבֶק לַחֲמוֹר:

A mattress strap that hangs over the bed [is impure] whatever its length; the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yose says: up to ten <em>tefachim</em>. The remnant of a mattress strap remains unclean if the length is at least seven <em>tefachim</em>, enough to make a donkey's saddle girth.
