A full-size bed is sometimes called a “double bed” or simply a “full bed”; it is bigger than the twin bed (a.k.a. single bed) and smaller than a queen-size bed. A full size bed is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long while queen size beds are 60 inches in width and 80 inches in length.

Usage Full beds are better for a single person and can be used in teenagers’ rooms. Some smaller couples can use them. Queen beds are generally put in guest rooms and smaller master bedrooms. Popularity 21% of all mattress purchases
32% of all mattress purchases Frame The frame for a full bed is just a rectangular box. The frame for a queen bed is required to have a center leg support besides the normal rectangular structure. Advantage The size of the bed is just right for a single sleeper who is under 5′ 9″ tall. It is better suited for two people or for somebody who is tall. Size Full size bed dimensions: 54″ wide x 75″ long. Queen bed dimensions: 60″ wide, 80″ long Disadvantages Some people find the full bed too narrow for a couple and sometimes too short also. Comforter bedding for a full bed may not be available in different styles. Even in a queen bed, the space available for a couple is 30″ each which can be insufficient for everyday comfort. Contents: Full Bed vs Queen Bed Full size beds are 54″ (137 cm) wide and 75″ (191 cm) long, making them smaller than a standard queen size bed that measures 60″ x 80″ (152 cm x 203 cm). The following picture is a handy reference for — and easy visual representation of — all the different bed sizes: twin, full, queen, king and California king size.
A handy reference for the various bed sizes available in the U.S. For folks who prefer video, the following is a good guide to mattress sizes: There are several nonstandard full- and queen-sized mattresses. Because of this, it is important to measure mattresses, box-springs, and bed frames to ensure they all match before purchase; refer to manufacturer details when possible. The most common non-standard dimensions for full size and queen size beds include the following: Full XL beds are extra-long. They still measure 54 inches (137 cm) across but are 80 inches (203 cm) long, just like a standard queen size bed. This is ideal for tall people who want a bed that isn’t too wide. Olympic queen, or expanded queen, mattresses are 6 inches (15 cm) wider than standard queen mattresses. They remain 80 inches (203 cm) long. Split queen mattresses are exactly what they sound like: queen mattresses that are divided into two maneuverable pieces that each measure 30″ x 80″ (76 cm x 203 cm).
California queen beds are mostly obsolete, as they are waterbed mattresses; however, they can still be found on Amazon and in specialty stores. These waterbed mattresses are usually four inches (10 cm) longer than the standard. IKEA has grown in popularity in the U.S. as the company has expanded to a number of different locations. As such, many more Americans are buying furniture and mattresses from IKEA now than in the past.[1] However, those who are looking for a mattress and/or bed should be careful as IKEA mattresses are not made to standard lengths. All of their mattresses run a half-inch to inch (1.27 cm to 2.5 cm) shorter. Using an IKEA mattress with a non-IKEA bed frame can leave a gap between the furniture and mattress. Similarly, IKEA bed frames will struggle to contain standard mattress sizes, if they can contain them at all. In the case of very small bedrooms, a full bed allows for much greater maneuverability than a queen bed. In general, full size beds are ideal for teenagers, young adults in dorm rooms, and single individuals of any age who do not mind trading bed space for room space.
Twin beds may be more appropriate for younger children. Slender, smaller couples can perhaps use full size beds as well, but these beds offer very little space — 27 inches (68.6 cm) — per person. Couples will almost certainly be happier with a queen or king size bed, which will give each person 30 inches (76 cm) or 38 inches (96.5 cm) of space, respectively. A queen bed is able to "grow" with a person — go from being a single-person bed to one a couple can share — in a way that a full bed cannot (for most). Mattress, box-spring, and bed frame prices vary significantly according to the materials used (e.g., spring, memory foam; hardwood or softwood furniture, etc.). Manufacturers and distributors also affect pricing. In all cases, though, a full size bed will be cheaper than a comparable queen size bed from the same company and/or store. Linens, comforters and duvets, and other bed accessories will likely be more expensive for queen size beds than full size ones.
Queen beds are the most popular bed size in the U.S. In a (somewhat dated) survey by the Sleep Products Association, queen beds accounted for 32% of the U.S. mattress market, followed closely by twin beds (31%). Full beds (21%) and king beds (7%) trailed behind in sales.[ Mattress Sizes - Venus Rising Limited Full Twin Size Bed Eurotop Mattress Pillowtop Mattress King Queen Size Bed California King King Size Bed Electric Dryer Gas Dryer If you read this far, you should follow us: "Full Bed vs Queen Bed." . Diffen LLC, n.d. Web. How can Purple be firm and soft at the same time? Purple’s Smart-Comfort Grid System™ is designed so that each individual cell wall of Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ has a specific pressure/weight threshold. When that threshold is breached, the wall releases, distributing the weight and pressure to surrounding cells. This means that high-pressure areas like your hips and shoulders sink in while the broader, low pressure areas like your back get fully supported.
Even when the cell walls release, they don’t collapse and lose support; they will maintain the exact right amount of support needed for that part of your body so you don’t bottom out. How much weight is the Purple designed to support? The Purple® Bed should easily support 600lbs total or 300lbs weight per person per side. If you’re worried about accommodating someone significantly heavier than that but still want the power of Purple, please be assured that all users, regardless of weight, should find comfort benefits with the Purple® Bed. Please be advised that, while with the use of significantly heavier users will not void the warranty, it may cause the bed to soften more quickly than with an average-weighted user and therefore may eventually alter the Purple™ Bed’s comfort providing abilities. Will you be adding more sizes to your mattress options? As we grow we are only producing the four most popular sizes of mattress Twin XL, Queen, King and California King.
This certainly doesn’t mean we won’t add sizes, but we apologize if we don’t have the sizes you’re looking for right now. To be notified if we ever do add more sizes, fill out this Google Form and we’ll be sure to let you know if your desired size becomes available! What does the Purple 30-Night Challenge work? If you’re not convinced that Purple® Mattress is right for you after 30 or so nights, head over to your guest room, take your sweetie on a romantic getaway, or simply spend a night or two where you can sleep on a different mattress and compare it to your Purple. You may just realize how awesome Purple really is! Don’t worry, you still have your full 100 nights to decide. Is the Purple® Mattress cover washable? For the mattress cover, we recommend using a stretchy mattress protector and spot-cleaning with upholstery when it does get dirty. **The cover does zip off, but we recommend not putting it through your washing machine unless absolutely necessary.
If you do, use a completely cold cycle and hang or lay flat to dry only (there is a LOT of spandex in it, so if you put it in the washer/dryer, it will shrink and that could potentially interfere with the benefits of Purple™). Why do I need stretchy sheets for my Purple® mattress? The stretchier your sheets and mattress protector, the more you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of Purple. Too tight and/or non-stretchy fabrics can act as a barrier between you and the Purple so you don’t get as much pressure release as you could. Also, don't forget to check out our amazing sheets that will work perfectly on your mattress! What is the quality of the foam? We use a premium high-density density foams, which include: 3.25” – 1.8 lb/ft³ medium-soft comfort layer 4.00” – 2.0 lb/ft2³ medium-firm support layer All of our foam is certified by CertiPUR-US® CertiPUR-US® approved foams are: Made without ozone depleters Made without PBDEs, TDCPP or TCEP (“Tris”) flame retardants
Made without mercury, lead and other heavy metals Made without phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million)All of which is, of course, topped with and protected by 2″ of Purple™ — so it’ll last even longer than your average high-density foam. Will you be selling a Purple® Topper? We may add the option of a Purple® Mattress topper in the future, but we don’t have any sort of timeline. But if you want to to be notified if/when a Purple® Topper is available, fill out this quick form and you’ll be among the first to know! Does the Purple® Bed need a boxspring? Of course we recommend our platform base! However, the Purple just needs a sturdy surface to sit on, whether that’s a platform, slats (3″ apart or less), box foundation, an adjustable bed frame, or even the floor — it all works just fine. Make sure your mattress won’t be on a sagging frame or foundation and you’re good to go!
What type of flame retardant is in the mattress? We use a fabric knit barrier that meets all of the industry standards for your safety without filling your mattress with toxic chemicals. Does it emit off-gassing? There may be a faint “new mattress” smell right when it comes out of the packaging, which the few who have noticed it have described as nutty and sweet. If it is noticeable, it will fade within a few days and is not toxic (most toxic off-gassing that is associated with mattresses comes from memory foam, which we do not use). To find out more about the certification for the foam we use, visit CertiPUR-US® Why did you choose the cover you did? We specially designed a patent-pending, high-quality, white-on-white cover that has never been seen in the industry. It’s super stretchy so you get the best experience with Purple possible, and will look great in your room, even while you’re washing the sheets! What are the dimensions of the Purple™ Beds?

The inventors (which means we don’t have to pay royalties) The manufacturers (Which means we don’t have to pay someone else to do it) The Wholesalers (the most commonly referred to middle-man) The Retailers (The stores and the sales people) If we had gone a more traditional route, Purple would be a $3000-$5000 mattress, and let’s face it, most people can’t afford that.

The Purple® Mattress also shouldn’t be flipped or you could lose its benefits!
You can rotate the mattress, although it’s not necessary! How do I unpack my Purple® mattress? There will be a great little Purple slicer – that looks suspiciously like a letter opener – included in the package. Use that to cut down the length of the plastic tube, (Yes, it will cut between the teeth of the zipper and through the fabric and plastic) and unroll the mattress from the several layers of purple fabric holding it together. Your bed will be ready to sleep on right away. How firm is the Purple® mattress? Most of our customers rate our mattress a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, but it really just is personal preference! Is the Purple® mattress vegan? There are no animal products used to produce The Purple® Mattress. Can you feel your partner moving next to you on Purple? The Purple® Mattress has very limited motion transfer! You won’t feel your partner stir, those cute little ones climbing into the sheets, or those little paws finding the most comfortable position.
