Mattress Sizes and Bed Dimensions Guide 2023

Updated: Feb 27, 2023


Single

Mattress Dimensions: 78 x 39 (Inches) Kids or single sleepers who wish to make the most of their room’s space should choose a twin-size mattress. They can accommodate rooms as little as 7 by 9 feet because they don’t take up much space. Kids prefer twin-size mattresses since they are the smallest size you can purchase and because the bed won’t take up as much area in their bedroom, giving them more space to play and do fun things. Other than that, twin-size mattresses are also pretty affordable. The bedding of twin size is also pretty affordable and easy to find, just like the mattress.


Best For: It is Best for children and bunk beds as well as individual sleepers.


Room Size: A twin bed can comfortably fit in a room that is 7 x 9 feet in size. You may need a room that’s at least 8 x 10 square feet in size to accommodate the bed in addition to other pieces of furniture, like a desk or a dresser. You should think about the stiffness, the materials, and, most notably, the size while choosing the best mattress. Although it may seem obvious, size is one of the most critical aspects. Apart from everything, mattress size determines its price; the bigger the mattress, the more expensive it would be.


Single XL


Mattress Dimensions: 78 x 42 (Inches) The Single XL mattress is a long twin mattress best suited for older kids, college-aged students, or people who only sleep alone and require extra leg space. The smallest room you should use to fit a twin XL mattress properly is 8 by 10.


Mattresses for twin XL beds are somewhat longer than those for regular twin beds. The twin XL mattress size is 80 inches long compared to the twin’s 75 inches. However, both the twin and twin XL mattresses are 38 inches wide and made for a sole sleeper.


A twin XL bed’s extra 5 inches of height makes it more suitable for tall kids, teens, and university students. A Single XL bed will suit you more than a regular twin bed if you are 6 feet or more extensive. The standard-size mattress in a college dorm is most frequently a Single XL. Most college residence halls are this size because they more effectively satisfy single sleepers’ demands. Brands frequently offer two Single XL mattresses as a divided bed. The fact that Single XL mattresses are commonly used in dorm rooms makes it more challenging to obtain bedding that will fit them.


So, when back-to-school shopping season rolls around, you can generally find many Single XL bedding. You might have a limited selection of items to choose from after that.


Best For: It is most suitable for older, taller adolescents, single adults, or anyone with limited space.


Room Size: The least space requirement for a twin XL bed to fit beautifully in a room is 8 feet by 10 feet. In spaces that are at least 7 feet wide, Single XL beds can also be a good option for sleeping arrangements.


Full

MattressDimensions: 78 x 60 (Inches) Full-size mattresses are preferred by young people or partners who don’t mind sharing a bed since they are more extensive than twin mattresses but less expensive than queen mattresses. Full-sized mattresses are one of the most common and hottest selling products of all mattress sizes.


One big reason for its popularity is its adaptive size. Although a full-size mattress may fit two persons, it is most suitable for single users and it could also be a mattress for side sleepers. Two individuals can hardly fit in a double bed. A pair can each have 27 inches of room on a full mattress, which is 60 inches broad.


A Single XL-size mattress is 42 inches broad in contrast. For individuals who share a mattress with a restless sleeper who twists and flips at night, its tiny breadth may be an issue, and a double bed is probably not big enough for you to sleep comfortably.


Memory foam mattresses are an excellent option for those with limited space since they reduce motion transfer when someone is moving about on them.


Best for: It works particularly well for teenagers, couples who enjoy snuggling, and guest rooms.


Room Size: A full-size mattress should be placed in a room at least 10 by 10 feet in size. This mattress can create a sleeping space for two people in a small room. Furthermore, this mattress provides the best value and can be found at affordable prices.


Queen

Dimensions: 78 x 66 (Inches) A queen-size mattress is familiar with couples who don’t need a lot of room or with lone adults who want to spread out when they sleep. It can be an excellent bed for the primary or guest bedroom, quickly allowing extra guests in the home for a few days because the regular queen size is advised for couples.


The most popular standard-size mattress can accommodate many sleepers and conveniently fits into any space. There is also a split queen option for the queen-size mattress.


In this design, the queen size is divided into two equal portions to accommodate couples with various mattress tastes, allowing them to have a mattress that suits them as they share a bed.


Best For: Like couples, people who like to spread out will enjoy it the most.


Room size: A master suite that is at least 10 feet by 10 feet is ideal for a queen-sized mattress.


King

Dimensions: 78 x 72 inches Having a king-sized bed is like sleeping in a palace. There is sufficient space for two people to spread out and have their own personal sleeping area.


Compared to the California King, it has a width that is 4 inches larger, but the length is 4 inches smaller. The king-size mattress is the standard mattress size that is the widest available, making it an excellent option for families.


If the parents want to sleep in the same bed as their children, this size is large enough to accommodate everyone. There is also a split option available for the king-size mattress, which consists of two mattresses of the Twin XL size placed next to each other.


The option of a split king mattress is provided for couples who feel they have distinct requirements for their sleeping surface. This allows the couple to share one bed while enjoying the benefits of two distinct mattresses. This layout is ideal for customizable beds that have split-side functionality. It is also a good choice for bunk beds.


Best For: It is ideal for families or couples who don’t mind sharing a bed with their young children.


Room Size: The ideal setting for a king mattress is a large master suite, preferably one that is at least 12 feet by 12 feet in size.
