The Right Size Mattress For You

Are you new to Texas? Is your bed a little worn for wear? Or maybe you’re still sleeping on your old futon from college? All of these are good reasons to invest in new sleeping accommodations. When shopping for a new mattress in Houston or San Antonio, you may have some questions about the size of your new bed. Let us help you figure out what’s best for you!

Twin/Twin XL

Measuring in at around 39 x 74 inches, the twin size mattress is the smallest of conventional mattresses, and is generally only purchased by a single sleeper. Many children find twin size to be more than ample space for them, as they have yet to reach a size where they will feel cramped on its surface. For taller children and smaller adults, the twin XL (Extra Long) is a viable option. At approximately 39 x 80 inches, the dimensions of a twin XL dimensions are approximately half a foot longer than the standard twin.

Full

Until fairly recently, the full size bed was standard for the average adult. With dimensions of roughly 54 x 74, this is an ideal option for someone who sleeps alone, as an attempt to share a full sized mattress may end in an uncomfortably tight situation. Many customers who choose a full size bed do so for the convenience of price and space. At a modest price, a full size mattress allows one to purchase a bed that is both comfortable AND fits in a smaller Houston or San Antonio apartment.

Queen

Queen mattresses have steadily been increasing in popularity. Whether that is due to an increased desire for sleeping space or everything really being bigger in Texas, who can say? Queens’ dimensions are around 60 x 80 inches, and as such they contain an ample amount of room for a single sleeper while also being able to comfortably fit a couple. While a standard bedroom, even a small one, should be able to fit a Queen, some may find that it is a little snug. Measuring the length and width of your bedroom is recommended before purchasing a Queen size mattress.

King

Living up to its name, a King size mattress measures in at around 76 x 80 inches. With more than enough room for even the tallest individual, this is the bed for anyone who loves their space. Gone are the days of tossing and turning in your sleep only to end up face down on the floor. Even a couple sharing a King will be able to comfortably settle down into a relaxed, unperturbed sleep. Be forewarned. This giant majesty may take up the entirety of a small bedroom—if it even fits!
