Whether you’re shopping for a new mattress or just daydreaming about better sleep, we’ve got the answers to your mattress questions! Let’s start with the basics; the most popular mattress sizes are twin, full, queen, King, and California King. Let’s start learning!
Twin
Twin beds are 38x75 in. These mattresses are frequently used in children’s rooms. These beds are best for single adults who are shorter than 6’, teens, and children.
Pros: Twin beds are very affordable. They can fit in small spaces. Due to their smaller size, they are optimal for bunk beds or for fitting two mattresses in one room.
Cons: They can easily be outgrown.
Full
Full beds, also known as “Double” are 54x75 in. These beds are best for single adults, but couples can fit if necessary.
Pros: Perfect size for single adults. These beds are great for guest rooms because they don’t take up too much space but couples can fit comfortably.
Cons: Fulls are a bit shorter than queens and kings. So while these are a great option for single adults, they are not a great option for tall single adults.
Queen
Queen beds are 60x80 in. Queen beds are perfect for couples. But if you like your pet to sleep with you and your partner, you may want to consider sizing up.
Pros: Queens offer great space for couples. Queen mattresses are the most popular and common mattress size, making it easy to find accessories and bed frames.
Cons: Less room than a King bed. If you have kids or pets who like to crawl in bed with you and your partner, this bed may feel a little cramped.
King
King beds (also known as Eastern Kings) are 76x80 in. King beds are great for couples who prefer a lot of space when they sleep. King mattresses can be split in half (split Kings) for those couples who prefer different firmnesses in their mattresses.
Pros: King beds offer great sleeping space. Accessories and bedframes are easily found.
Cons: These beds take up quite a bit of space, so they are not optimal for smaller rooms. They can also be difficult to move.
California King
California King beds are 72x84 in. These beds are great for extra tall couples. Contrary to popular belief, California Kings are a bit slimmer than Kings! California Kings can also be split in half, creating a split California King. To see split California Kings in action, watch our video!
Pros: They offer maximum length which is perfect for tall couples.
Cons: They are incredibly long which can make it difficult to move them. It can be difficult to fit them in small rooms.
