Taller adults may be more comfortably sleeping on a twin XL bed size. Shop Twin Size Mattresses Popular in many college dorm rooms, the twin XL (extra-long) mattress is approximately 6 inches longer than a twin mattress. This makes it perfect for taller adults. Twin XL beds are approximately 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. Shop Twin Extra Long Size Mattresses The full size mattress, also known as a double mattress, is approximately 16 inches wider than a twin mattress, but does not provide enough added room for two people to sleep comfortably.

King size mattress dimensions are approximately 76 inches wide by 80 inches long, making a king mattress almost the same size as two twin XL beds. This bed size is also preferable if you have children, dogs or cats that will be sharing your bed.
