Single bedsJump-start your day with a good night’s sleep. With the comfort and quality you get from our sturdy single beds, you’ll wake up refreshed and ready to roll. To make more of your space, go for a bed with built-in storage or one that you can slide boxes underneath. And we have everything else, like a mattress or a duvet, to complete your bed in style. Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type. See also: Mattress § Sizes, and Bedding § Bedding sizes Modern manufacturing conventions have produced many standard mattress and box spring sizes.
Beds vary by country of origin as per the table below. These dimensions are for the mattress – actual bed frames are a little larger to accommodate the mattress. Mattress thickness varies considerably. The standard bed sizes are: In addition to the sizes described above, other sizes have found some acceptance in North America, including: Common UK and Ireland sizes Most modern beds/mattresses sold in the UK and Ireland are constructed using metric dimensions. It is worth noting that "bed size" in the UK generally refers to mattress size. This is because mattresses have a standard size grading, whereas bed frames do not. While many companies in the UK do offer bespoke bed making services, most mass-produced bed linens, bed frames and mattresses fit only the standard bed sizes above. A common mistake is to use a mattress size as the required space for the full dimensions of the bed and mattress. Single size beds are usually 90 cm wide by 190 cm long. Most common sizes for double beds are:
140 cm wide by 190 cm long 160 cm wide by 200 cm long 180 cm wide by 200 cm long (less common, but increasing popularity).

That being said, here are the standard measurements for bed sizes. Twin: 38" x 75" Twin XL: 38" x 80" Three-Quarter: 48" x 75" Full: 53" x 75" Queen: 60" x 80" King: 76" x 80" California King: 72" x 84"It is important that you MEASURE YOUR BOX SPRING to make sure you order the correct size bed frame.
Many of our bed frames are designed to fit one size only. (We do have a few bed frames that fits twin, full, queen, and king, but those are exceptions, not the rule.) Measure your Box Spring MEASURING YOUR BOX SPRING IS especially critical when you are ordering KING or CALIFORNIA KING size. There IS a difference, and the two sizes are often confused, even by people who sell furniture and bedding. If a salesperson tells you that he is selling you a KING size bed frame or mattress set, DO NOT take his word for it. We cannot stress enough how important it is to MEASURE YOUR BOX SPRING! If you have a KING size box spring, it will be approximately 76" wide by 80" long. If you have a CALIFORNIA KING, your box spring will be approximately 72" wide by 84" long. We recommend measuring your box spring, rather than the mattress, because the box spring is the part that fits into the bed frame. What's Going On with Today's Mattress Measurements? To further complicate matters, mattress manufacturers have begun skimp on the the standard sizes of box springs and foundations in the last few years.
We've seen full size box springs measuring as little as 52 inches wide and 74 inches long. Queen foundations or box springs are usually around 59 inches wide by 78 inches long, not the longtime standard of 60 inches wide X 80 inches long. How Have Bed Frame Manufacturers Responded? Strangely, they've responded to the width problem, but not the length problem. Many of our bed frame suppliers send us full size bed frames that will not go any wider than 53 inches. This is a big problem when we have a customer who has an old box spring. Older box springs (from the 1970s and even 1980s) measure 54 inches wide, while todays newer foundations and box springs measure only 52 - 53 inches. Many of our bed frames won't work with older foundations. Bed rail manufacturers like Leggett and Platt, have not gotten the memo about the ever-shrinking bedding. As queen box springs shrink in length, queen bed rails are still 82 inches long, much to the frustration of many customers (and us!). It leaves too much space at the end of the bed.
