Twin Mattress Dimensions are 39" x 75" The twin mattress is the most common size found in children's rooms, and has the perfect dimensions to be used on daybeds, trundle units and hideaways. The width of a twin mattress (39") is the minimal amount of space needed for a single person to lie comfortably each night. Pros: The dimensions of a twin size mattress allows one child or adult to sleep comfortably with enough sleeping surface. Twin mattresses easily fit into smaller rooms without taking up too much space. You can also create a king sized mattress by putting two twin sized mattresses together. Cons: Twin mattresses are too small for couples. They also may not be long enough for taller individuals to sleep comfortably.Would you ever purchase a used mattress? In an informal poll, we found that less than 10% of people would buy a used mattress. Surprisingly however, a ton of people try to sell used mattresses all of the time. We looked at the volume in which people were selling used mattresses:
We found Mattresses were the 4th most listed furniture type behind Chairs, Tables, and Beds. Due to how people tend to categorize their furniture, it’s unclear how to make the distinction between bed frames and mattresses, but the data clearly shows that they’re a popular second-hand item listed to be sold. It seems likely that people were much more inclined to purchase a used table. In fact, in the same informal poll 100% of people said they would buy a used table. It’s clear that there is a strong difference between buying a used table and a used mattress. When asked about the reasons behind not buying a used mattress, it came down to concerns over cleanliness (let’s call it differences in uses) for the two furniture items. Using Google Trends we found that new mattresses are listed roughly 2x as often as used mattress on the internet. Again, this is surprising data because we found that only 10% of customers are interested in used mattresses. There are two probable realities for this difference in the data:
August is the most popular month for both used and new mattresses. The second most popular month is January. This lines up with industry experts’ suggestion of buying furniture in August and January due to new furniture entering stores. New furniture releases mean sales and clearance pricing. Many people attempt to sell their used mattress, but not as many people are interested in buying used mattresses. This means that there should be a ton of supply for used mattresses, which should drive prices down. If you’re trying to sell a used mattress… you’re not going to get much for the mattress, due to the simple fact that it’s used. To help increase your chances, try to increase the perception of it being as new as possible. If any of the following is true, add it to your listing to increase your odds of selling! You’ll want to avoid the competition from furniture stores that comes in August and January. If you’re one of the 10% of people who don’t mind buying a used mattress… you’re in a buyer’s market!
Be tough when negotiating with sellers, and don’t be afraid to shoot for a low price. Odds are, they aren’t getting many offers from anyone else. Many people will be looking to take advantage of the pricing deals, therefore getting rid of their old mattress. Take advantage of this! It’s hard to pinpoint an exact value without knowing the details about the mattress. You can run the different attributes through Blue Book for Furniture to get an estimate of its value, but the real market value is probably even lower. The most typical mattress price in the secondhand market is $250. Once the mattress has been taken out of its protective seal, it’s going to lose value similar to how a brand new car loses value after driving off the lot. We’d suggest a healthy dose of low expectations when forecasting the future value of your mattress, otherwise you may be sorely disappointed.Style DaybedsIkea SlipcoverSlipcoversSlipcover PiecesSofa GuestFull Size BedsFull SizedNursery With Full Size BedNursery With Queen BedForwardOne of the things I get asked the most has to do with our family room sofa.

Miracle Mattress posted the video on Facebook for its "Twin Towers Sale." In the video, which has since been deleted, Miracle Mattress manager Cherise Bonanno is heard saying "What better way to remember 9/11 than with a Twin Tower sale?" Bonanno goes on to describe the deals shoppers can score as two men and two towers of mattresses stand behind her. At the end, she pretends to fall on the men, who then knock down the twin mattresses. "We'll never forget," Bonnano says at the end of the video after shrieking in panic. The company's owner, Mike Bonanno, posted a statement on the store's Facebook page on Friday apologizing for their actions and announcing that the store would be closing "indefinitely."
"Effective immediately, our Miracle Mattress store will be closed indefinitely. We will be silent through the 9/11 Anniversary to avoid any further distractions from a day of recognition and remembrance for the victims and their families," Mike Bonanno said in a statement. "We take full responsibility for our actions and sincerely regret the hurt and pain caused by this disrespectful advertising campaign." Bonanno said the company will share a public statement next week and share their plans on how they plan to help 9/11 memorial funds. "We will also describe our plans to offer support for the 9/11 Memorial and victims funds. There is very little we can do to take away the hurt we have caused, but we can begin with silence through the anniversary and then do our best to follow-up with actions that reflect the seriousness of our mistake."At Universal Hotel Liquidators, it doesn't matter if you're a college student, apartment renter, or homeowner, because we have something for everyone!
We specialize in wholesale furniture, as well as home electronics and appliances. Much of our inventory is liquidated from hotels, motels, and other business. Please remember that pre-owned does not mean an inferior product. In our case, it's the exact opposite. This is because the majority of our furniture inventory are of commercial grade. This means they were built to last for decades, even under conditions of heavy use, while still maintaining the allure of upscale hotel furnishings. A good deal of our furniture from hotels is only about 5 years old. This means that these products are only about one third of the way through their lifespan when they come into our hands. Thus, rest assured, our exquisite prices do not come at the expense of the quality of the goods - they come in addition to them. UHL carries basically any furniture item that a residential consumer would require. From kitchen, bedroom, and living room furniture to common household electronics and appliances - Universal Hotel Liquidators is the one-stop shop for the shrewd furniture consumer.
