Mattress Size Information

King (76" x 80")

King size mattresses are designed for couples who want spacious luxury. King size mattresses are great for couples with an active and/or very light sleeper, providing plenty of space for one person to move without disturbing the other. As the largest of the standard mattress sizes, you can expect King mattresses to be the most expensive for any given model, but the extra cost is well worth the spacious comfort in the long run. Be sure to measure out how much floor space a King will take up before buying one, you may be surprised how much your walkways will shrink! Shop King Size Mattresses

California King (72" x 84")

The California King size mattress is designed for tall people whose feet hang off the end of most beds. Trading 4-inches of width for an extra 4-inches of length compared to the standard King, the Cal King is the longest of the standard mattress sizes. Still plenty wide enough for sharing, California King mattresses are a great solution for tall people whether or not they share the bed. Shop California King Size Mattresses

Queen (60" x 80")

Queen size mattresses are the gold standard in the industry today. They have a width suitable for sharing, and a length that works for all but the tallest people. The Queen is most commonly used for advertised prices, and in most cases the most cost-effective size (area vs. price). The Queen size is ideal for couples who are looking for a cost-effective, floor space-friendly mattress, making it the most common bed size for master bedrooms.Shop Queen Size Mattresses

Full XL (53" x 80")

Full XL size mattresses are the same width as the Full, but 5-inches longer. Full XL mattresses are great for tall individuals who don't need the spaciousness of a Queen, but enjoy something roomier than a Twin. Full XL mattresses still don't have the width to effectively accommodate couples, and the Full XL size of many models costs the same as the couple-oriented Queen. Full XL mattresses work well for tall, active sleepers who want the largest size intended for single person use. Shop Full XL mattresses

• Designed for single sleepers
• Extra long
• Most spacious standard mattress size for single sleepers

Full (53" x 75")

Also known as a Double, modern Full size mattresses are designed for single sleepers who want something more spacious than a Twin. Not long ago, the Full size mattress was the standard for couples; but with the introduction of the Queen, the Full has become obsolete for sharing. Some couples may still find certain Full size models viable, but the small price difference between a Full and a Queen is never worth the inferior comfort unless you have a space constraint so strict that the Queen simply won't fit. Full mattresses work well for active sleepers and children/teens during their transition years. Shop Full Size Mattresses

• Designed for single sleepers
• Wider than the Twin

Twin XL (38" x 80")

Twin XL size mattresses are the same width as the Twin, but 5-inches longer. Twin XL mattresses are intended for tall individuals who are not active sleepers and want a mattress that won't take up a lot of space in their bedroom. Twin XL size mattresses are not wide enough for sharing, but are recommended for growing teens or tall adults looking to save space and money. Shop Twin XL Size Mattresses

Twin (38" x 75")

Twin size mattresses are the smallest, and therefore least expensive, of the standard mattress sizes. Twin mattresses are designed for single sleepers who are not active during the night and want to save space in their bedroom, apartment, or dorm room. Twin size mattresses are not viable for sharing, but work well for kids and adults who don't need a spacious sleeping surface. Shop Twin Size Mattresses
