How to Buy a MattressMattress Sizes ChartMattress Names/Terms GlossaryNeed a New Mattress? One of the most important factors to achieve a better night's sleep is a comfortable amount of space. It is important to consider the actual amount of sleeping space you will have available for a new mattress. Generally, a mattress should be longer and wider than the amount of space you and your partner uses to sleep. The recommended size for two adults to sleep on is a queen or king size bed. Please note that mattress sizes are slightly less than the standard bed size to fit inside the bed's frame.

Twin 39''x 75'' (inches) Twin 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 as ‘single’) is great for smaller guest spaces, bunkbeds, and daybeds. Twin-XL 39''x 80'' (inches) Twin-XL 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 54''x 75'' (inches) Full size or 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 60''x 80'' (inches) Queen size is the most popular size sold. Ideal for two adults who don't want a king size in order to save living space. Also great for those who just like to spread out. King 76''x 80'' (inches) King 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. For very tall people you can also special order a California-King which is a 72'' x 84''. How to Buy A Mattress WHAT MATTRESS SIZE IS BEST FOR YOU?
We can help you figure out what’s best! One size definitely doesn't fit all. When it comes to mattresses, one size definitely doesn’t fit all. There are several factors you should keep in mind prior to purchasing your perfect mattress for your bed. The mattress should be longer than the tallest person sleeping on it. The bed width should allow enough space to fold your arms behind your head without going beyond the mattress edge or touching your partner’s elbows (for two adults, we recommend either a queen or a king). TWIN - 39" x 75" Twin mattresses can accommodate one child or one adult sleeper although the length of the mattress might be too short for an adult. Twin size mattresses are used for children's rooms, bunk beds, daybeds and smaller spaces such as guest bedrooms. TWIN XL - 39" x 80" Twin XL mattresses are great space savers and are commonly found in dorm rooms and offer an additional five inches of length to your sleeping space.
FULL - 54" x 75" Full or double mattresses provide more width for your sleeping area. A full size mattress is ideal for one person. If you divided the mattress in half two people would only have 27 inches of sleep space (or the equivalent of a crib mattress). QUEEN - 60" x 80" If you prefer more living space in your master bedroom, a queen size might be what you are looking for. Also, queen mattresses are ideal for someone who likes additional width and height while sleeping; which makes it a great choice for growing children and taller adults. KING - 76" x 80" If you have the space in your bedroom, a king size mattress is the best choice for couples; you each have a sleeping service equivalent to a twin extra long mattress. It is also great for growing families or pet owners. CALIFORNIA KING - 72" x 84" If you are looking for additional length in your sleep surface, a California King might be what is right for you. Four inches of width are taken from a traditional king mattress and added to the length.
