A welcoming guest bedroom includes a comfortable bed. Whether you need to convert a guest bedroom with two beds into a room with one larger bed or you desire a different mattress firmness, it is simple to create a king-size bed from two smaller twin beds. A king mattress already sits on top of two twin box springs inside of a bed frame.Two twin mattresses and box springs will fit easily into the same bed frame to create a larger bed. Standard Bed Sizes A standard twin bed is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long; a standard king bed is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. Attaching two twin beds will give you a king size bed 2 inches wider than the standard size king and 5 inches shorter. It is not ideal, but it will give you a larger bed that two adults can share reasonably well. Versatility Twin beds are often less expensive than king mattresses. Purchasing two twins and converting them can be more affordable for some people. Other couples find it helpful to have separate mattresses with different levels of firmness;
pushing two twins together will give them the king bed they prefer and the restful night's sleep they need. Converter Belts There are two ways to convert twin beds into king beds. Both methods will require a twin-to-king converter belt, available at most home goods stores. Most metal bed frames are adjustable to fit a range of bed sizes. If yours expands to a king, set up the bed by expanding the frame to fit the two box springs with the two mattresses. Close the gap between the mattresses using the converter belt and a king-size mattress pad. If your frame won't expand or you need flexibility and want to be able to use either two twins or one king, simply push the two twin bed frames together when a king is needed. Hold the mattresses together with the converter belt. Sheets and Bedding Since your new king does not meet standard sizes, buying bedding for it takes a little creativity. Instead of purchasing sheet sets with a fitted sheet and flat sheet, look for sheets sold separately and buy two flat sheets.
One flat sheet will tuck into the mattress easily and act as a fitted sheet. If it is a little short, you can buy clips that will hold the sheet in place at the corners, creating a fitted sheet. King-size blankets, comforters and duvet covers will work. They may be a little long and tad narrow.

Couples who've been sleeping on a "double", also known as a full size mattress, since they got married may think they have enough room, until they learn that each person has only as much sleeping space as a baby's crib! A twin size mattress is attractive to the budget-conscious shopper. Sometimes also referred to as a “single,” the twin size bed is actually one of the more versatile options, with two different dimensions to choose from. Some shoppers opt to purchase two twin XL mattresses, rather than one king-size bed, especially if two people with differing comfort profiles are sharing a room.
Pushing two twins together will actually give you two inches more in width and the exact same length as a standard king-sized mattress – usually for a lower price. The standard twin mattress size in America is 39 inches wide x 75 inches long, or 3.25 feet x 6.25 feet. A twin size mattress is more than large enough to accommodate one child and most adults. Twin mattresses are perfect for small guest bedrooms, cottages, “daybed” napping space, or bunk beds. Why pay for a queen when a twin mattress set fits your growing child, with room to spare? If you enjoy lying in bed to read with your child at night, you’ll find there is just enough room to snuggle without feeling claustrophobic. However, if you’re over six feet tall, your feet will likely hang over the end of a twin bed mattress, so you may want to look into the Twin XL size. Taller shoppers may want to consider the Twin-XL bed, which offers 5 additional inches of length (for a total of 6.6 feet). This length is most commonly seen in college dorm rooms to save space in cramped quarters, while providing enough length to fit a tall sleeper or an array of books and notes during study periods.
For this reason, the best selection of twin mattress and box spring deals can be found in the summertime, just before the school year begins. Twin size mattresses comfortably accommodate one child or one adult sleeper (feet may hang over). When you want to lay with your child it should accommodate you both, but will be a bit crowded. A taller person may want to consider a Twin-XL bed, which will give you 5 inches of added length. Twin mattress beds (also referred to as a ‘single’) are great for smaller guest spaces, bunk beds, and daybeds. Mattress World Northwest has the largest selection of twin mattresses in Portland.
