Edit ArticleHow to Measure Bed Size Two Parts:Measuring a BedDetermining Bed SizeCommunity Q&A Beds are made in standard sizes, such as twin, full, queen and king sizes. It is recommended that you find a bed size that is at least four inches (10cm) longer than the tallest person who will sleep in it. The following measurements can be taken to ensure you get the right bed size. Strip the bed of all bedding. Grab a retractable measuring tape. Keep a pen and paper nearby to write down the measurements for future reference. Place one end of the measuring tape at the left side of the bed. Set the end of the tape at the middle top of the bed. Determine if your small bed is a twin. Most twin beds are 39 inches (99 cm) wide, while a “narrow” twin is 36 inches (91 cm) wide. Standard length will be 75 inches (191 cm) long. In the UK, a single bed is 36 inches (91 cm) wide. An extra-long twin, like the beds in most dorm rooms, is 80 inches (203 cm) long.
Look for sheet sets that say “x-long twin.” This bed size is used for most standard bunk beds. Move on to a full size bed if the bed is 54 inches (137 cm) wide. It should also be 75 inches (191 cm) long. In England and occasionally in the US, this is referred to as a “double” bed. While a twin bed fits one person, a full bed is best for one large person or two small children or adults. Increase your size to a queen bed if the width is 60 inches (152 cm). The length should be 80 inches (203 cm). If the length is 84 inches (213 cm), it is a California queen sized bed. There is no equivalent to a queen sized bed in the UK. The next largest size is a king. Another type of queen, called the “super,” or “expanded” queen is 66 inches (168 cm) wide and 80 inches (203 cm) long. The expanded is also thicker than the super or the standard queen. Queen sized beds and larger are designed with enough room for two adults. Judge if your bed is a king size.
Look through the additional options if your bed or space is even larger. A California king is 72 inches (183 cm) wide by 84 inches (213cm) long and a Grand king is 80 inches (203 cm) wide and 98 inches (249 cm) long. A super king bed in the UK is 72 inches (183 cm) wide and 78 inches (198 cm) long. Show more unanswered questions If you are choosing a bed for a room based on these measurements, remember that you should have a foot or two of space on each side for easy movement about the room. It is a good idea to measure the depth of your mattress before you purchase sheet sets. Pillow-top or extra thick mattresses require deeper pockets. Look for an indication that your sheet sets will fit a pillow-top or extra-thick mattress. It is harder to find non-standard sheet sets, like those for the California queen, super king, or expanded queen. They are likely to be more expensive because of their large size and scarcity. Identify the best estimates for objects This worksheet asks the student to pick which measurements best estimates the length, mass or volume of an object.
Some of the choices may seem downright silly, so long as the students understand what the units means. For example, what would it look like to wash your hair with five liters of shampoo? Five milliliters would be much more reasonable. When was the last time you used a six-mile long desk stapler?Already have a Studyladder account? Get a free trial account!

Data from repeated cross-section surveys are used to estimate volume changes along the length of an 8 km reach. Gravel budgets are based on a continuity approach. An error analysis is performed to evaluate the uncertainty in the best estimate of transport rates. The mean annual gravel transport into the reach over a 9 year period was estimated to be 36600 ± 5600 m3 yr−1.
