Mattress Sizes Explained: Twin to California King

Picking a mattress size is really about your room and who sleeps in it. Here are the numbers our team at DFW Furniture Warehouse in San Leandro walks customers through.

The sizes

Twin is 38x75 inches, twin XL 38x80, full 54x75, queen 60x80, king 76x80 and California king 72x84. Queen is the most popular for couples; California king trades width for length, which suits taller sleepers.

Measure the room, not just the bed

Leave at least 24 inches on each side you walk past, and make sure the bed clears doors and closets when open. Chalk the outline on the floor if you are unsure.

Do not forget the base

A frame or adjustable base changes total height. If you like sitting on the edge to put shoes on, aim for a mattress top around knee height.
