Why buy more mattress than you need to fill a space and sleep well? A full size bed is the smallest size for adults that may fit the bill, depending on your need. If you’ve been sleeping alone, then you may have been able to get by with a Twin. Upgrading to a full size bed gives you more room for a partner or additional sprawl space.

A full size bed frame is the next dimension up from a Twin (39×75”) or Twin XL (39×80”) – and is considerably larger. You may also see a full mattress referred to as “a double.” By American standards, the size of a full mattress is 54 inches wide x 75 inches long. The dimensions of a full size mattress give you an additional 15 inches of width and five inches in height than a Twin size mattress.
You may sometimes also see a “Full XL” size mattress, which is as long as a queen size mattress, adding another five inches onto the height (54” x 80”) to accommodate slightly taller sleepers who may not have the need or the space for added width.

If two people use a Full size mattress they will both cross over the center line and interfere with the quality of their partner's sleep.
