One of the important factors affecting night sleep of a person is comfortable space. It is essential to know the actual sleeping space that a person requires for a good sleep. Usually, a mattress chosen should be wider and longer than a person, who uses it for sleeping. The size of the bed depends upon who will sleep on it. If a mattress is required for single person, then a twin XL, twin or full size mattress is suitable. However, if it is to be used for two people, a California king, king or queen bed will provide both sleepers abundant space, making sure that the couple receives a good sleep. This is the smallest mattress available in the market and is best suitable for one adult or child. Its dimensions are approximately 74 inches long by 39 inches wide. However, taller people may be more comfortable with twin XL bed size. This mattress is famous in many college rooms, as it is nearly 6 inches longer than twin mattress and is perfect for taller people. The size of this mattress is around 80 inches long and 39 inches wide.
Also known as double mattresses, these mattresses are almost 16 inches wider than twin mattress, but do not give enough added space to two people for a comfortable sleep. It is too short for people who are taller than 5’5”. These beds are generally 74 inches tall by 54 inches wide. This type of mattress is a great choice if your children are growing. Moreover, the extra space provided also parents to lie while wrapping their children for night. If you are thinking to buy a full size mattress for two people, keep in mind that this mattress will give each person an approximate space of 27 inches, which is approximately equal to width of a crib. These mattresses provide with more width than full size mattress, that adds comfort for two sleepers.

This bed is suitable to you if you have dogs, cats or children who will be sharing bed with you. Since this mattress is much wider and longer, its box springs are split, making it convenient to cross around tight corners and stairs. Having size of 84 inches long by 72 inches wide, this mattress is most suitable to those who require more space lengthwise. A California king mattress is approximately 4 inches narrower than a king size mattress, but is 4 inches longer than that. Moreover, this bed size provides each sleeper 6 inches more width than queen size bed. The extra length of this bed makes it a good option for adjustable beds, providing extra length even with foot and/or elevated. Moreover, if you have animals or children who share bed with you, this is a right choice to go with for plenty space to everyone. These mattresses are a good choice for those who require a sofa in day and mattress at night.
These mattresses are very flexible and are made up of synthetic fibers, foams and cotton in various combinations and support sleeping and sitting at the same time. Usually, you should have a mattress for your baby in which his/her crib can be kept firm. Soft mattresses are god choice for your parents or grandparents, but babies require a solid surface to sleep since they can’t move themselves out of positions. You can check firmness of a mattress by pushing down on mattress and noticing how much your hand sinks, the more it sinks, higher is resistance and vice versa. The most important factor to have a good sleep is to choose comfortable amount of space. When people first shop for bedding, many are surprised to learn how many different mattress sizes there are. 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.
