Mattresses are one of the few items that come in truly standard sizing. While other items may come in manufacturer’s standard sizing, not many will be the same. Take clothing for instance; one brand’s medium may not be the same as the next. Here is a list of the different mattress sizes from twin all the way up to a king.
Twin
A twin mattress is the smallest adult size mattress and measures in at 75 inches long by 38 inches wide. This comes out to just over three feet wide which is not much for most people. These mattresses are best used for children’s rooms, particularly shared bedrooms.
Full
A full-size mattress is the next on the list and is what most people will end up using until they get their own home and often beyond that. A full-size mattress is 75 inches long, like a twin, but it is 53 inches wide. This is 15 inches wider than a twin. While this is great for one person, two people sleeping on a full-size mattress can get cramped since that only gives each of you 26.5 inches of space, less than a twin.
Queen
Queen size mattresses are one of, if not the most popular mattress sizes. It is 80 inches long, a full 5 inches longer than a twin or full, and is 60 inches wide. This gives each person 30 inches of space. This is still less than a twin, but it is still much more comfortable than a full.
King
When it comes to the biggest and the best you have the king size mattress. These mattresses come in at 8- inches long and 76 inches wide. Yes, a full six feet wide. If you and your partner each want plenty of room, then this is the best way to go short of buying separate beds.
These are the standard mattress sizes. If you are looking for a large bed for two people, then your best bet is to get a king mattress in Lafayette or your area. On the other hand, if you need a bed for a guest room or you do not need as much space then a queen or full is also a great option.
