One of the most important factors in achieving a better nights sleep is comfort. With this in mind it is important to consider the amount of actual sleep space you will have available on your new mattress. In general, the mattress should be longer and wider than the amount of space you or you and your sleeping partner take up when laying on it. For two adults it is recommended to sleep on a queen or king mattress size. The following illustrations are a general guide to help you make the best decision. Twin Mattress Size 39''x 75'' (inches) Twin bed size is generally made to accommodate one child or one adult sleeper. On occasion when you need to lay with your child it should accommodate, but will be a bit crowded. If you are a taller adult you may want to consider a twin-XL which will give you added length. Twin (also referred to a ‘single’) is great for smaller guest spaces, bunkbeds, and daybeds. Twin XL Mattress Size 39''x 80'' (inches) Twin XL bed size (Extra-Long) is 5 inches in length longer than the standard twin.
This size is great for taller youth or adults. Twin-XL is the same length as a queen or king, In fact two of them side by side equals a king. Full Mattress Size 54''x 75'' (inches) Full bed size, also known as a ‘double/standard’, was commonly used for two adults 30 - 40 years ago when the homes and bedrooms were built much smaller. Now it is usually purchased for single person use and sometimes smaller guest rooms. It is a tight fit for two adults and the same length as a twin. Two adults sleeping on a full size is equivalent to each person sleeping on a crib mattress (27 inches of sleep space). Most people with a sleeping partner opt for the queen size. Full can sometimes be special ordered in extra long. Queen Mattress Size 60''x 80'' (inches) Queen bed size is the most popular size sold. Great for two adults that want to save living space in their master bedroom and great for single use for those who just like to stretch out. King Mattress Size 76''x 80'' (inches)
King bed size (also known as an eastern king) is the same length as a queen but much wider (16 inches). If you have the space it offers the most room for couples. King size beds are also great if you have kids or pets who like to share your bed.

They are also surprised to learn just how widely bedding sizes can vary. It’s easy to get confused about how to match bedding sizes and bed sheet sizes with the many different mattress and bed dimensions there are.
It’s even more confusing when you find that mattress sizes differ from country to country. There are even mattress sizes peculiar to single companies! The “Olympic Queen” (66” x 80”) from Simmons is six inches wider than a standard queen bed, Select Comfort’s “Grand King” mattress is 4” wider and more than a foot longer than a normal king (80” x 98”), and McRoskey, a Bay Area mattress company, sells a seven foot by seven foot square “San Francisco King” (84” x 84”). In this guide we detail standard North American mattress dimensions and show the bedding sizes that work best with each of them. Then we offer some helpful suggestions about how to get the right bedding for novelty-size mattresses. Standard Bed Dimensions and Bedding When shopping for bedding, you have some room for error when it comes to the size of duvets, comforters and flat sheets, but not fitted sheets. How much room you have depends on how far the top of your bed is from the floor.
Bedding that is too wide will drape onto the bedroom floor. For example, a bed with a thick mattress and box spring allows for a lot more variation in the size of top sheets, blankets, and duvets than a futon frame close to the floor. To get your maximum bedding width, measure the distance from the top of your bed to the floor, double it, and add the width of the mattress. Since fitted sheets are designed to exactly fit the mattress you have much less room for variation. A slightly too large fitted sheet can be usable if you tuck it in tightly, but it’s much better to get fitted sheets that exactly match the dimensions of your mattress. If a fitted sheet is too small, you won’t be able to get it on the mattress at all.
