I also sometimes find it awkward that metric doesn't promote any natural measure between about 1 cm and 1 m. I hate explaining distances using feet, but for distances or lengths that fall into a certain category, it's often just simpler to say 1 foot than 30 centimetres or 0.3 metres.

You could use decimeter.
