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.

Occasional sleeping partners won't be taller. Your width is more important. Two adults on a full size is equivalent to each sleeping in a crib.
Your occasional sleeping partner might turn into a frequent sleeping partner in the future. I would get at least a queen if not a king. You've already got the queen so might as keep it.

I am going to be in the market for a new mattress pretty soon, can anyone link me to the thread that has all the information I will ever need to know about mattresses?

I don't understand how a full size bed is not big enough for one adult- if you're sharing a bed, then yeah it's a little cramped, but otherwise, what gives? While I have a queen size bed myself, my parents have used a full size for 30 years with no issues. Queen does have the advantage that it's the easiest to find good frames for... the only reason I ended up getting a queen size years ago was that there were twice the frame options that there were for full size.
Also, no one really needs a King size unless you or your sleeping partner is obese, or one of you are NBA height. edit - also, what otc said. A lot of chicago apartments have small (especially width-wise) bedrooms. I found an awesome apartment when I was searching this summer that I would've taken except for the fact that the bedroom was only 7ft wide...

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.

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%).
