Need Some Help With Mattress Dimensions? We’ve Got You Covered!

You may think that picking a mattress is easy, but it isn’t for everyone. While you may fit comfortably on a standard size mattress, that might not be the case for someone who’s tall or a person who sleeps with a partner but needs their own sleep space. How can you make sure that a given mattress is the right choice for a specific bedroom? By considering who’ll sleep in that room and carefully considering the mattress dimensions of the bed you want to put in the bedroom, of course.

Crib Mattresses

As you probably guessed, crib mattresses are made for cribs. Because they’re made for babies, crib mattresses are the smallest mattresses available. While they are made to fit inside cribs, many crib mattresses will also work on toddler beds. A full-size crib mattress typically measures 28 5/8 inches by 52 5/8 inches. A crib mattress should be no more than six inches thick.

Twin Mattresses

Twin beds are common in kids’ rooms, bunk beds, dorm rooms, and small apartments. Many couples who want to share a room but not a bed also use twin beds for sleeping. A standard twin bed is 39 inches by 74 inches.

If you have a camper, you may be familiar with the short twin mattress. This mattress is five inches shorter and one inch wider than a standard twin. While short twin mattresses are often used in campers, you can also get them for your home in a custom size.

If you’re outfitting a bedroom for a tall individual or someone who sleeps with pets, a twin XL may be a smart pick. Twin XL mattresses are 39 inches by 80 inches, providing plenty of leg or “pet room” at the end of the mattress.

Full Mattresses

Also known as a double bed, a full mattress is what you’ll often find in a hotel room. A standard full mattress measures 54 inches by 74 inches. If you want a longer sleep surface, you may want to get a full XL mattress, which is 54 inches by 80 inches.

Queen Mattresses

There are three kinds of queen mattresses, with the standard queen mattress being the most common kind of mattress in the world. The standard queen mattress measures 60 inches by 80 inches. The Olympic queen mattress provides an additional six inches of foot room while the California queen mattress provides an extra four inches in width for people who move around a lot in their sleep.

King Mattresses

Measuring 76 inches by 80 inches, a standard king mattress is nearly as big as two twin XL beds sitting side by side. While the size of a standard king mattress is considerable, it’s not the longest mattress in the market. The California king mattress is even longer, measuring 72 inches by 84 inches.
