What are the dimensions of my mattress?
That's a good question - and one that can come up when you are house hunting
and examining bedrooms and thinking about room size.
Twin (sometimes called a single)
Twin mattress dimensions are approximately 38 inches wide and 75 inches long.
Full size (sometimes called a double)
Full size mattress dimensions are approximately 53 inches wide and 75 inches long.
Queen
Queen size mattress dimensions are 60 inches wide by approximately 80 inches long.
King
King size mattress dimensions are 76 inches wide by approximately 80 inches long.
California King
California king size mattress dimensions are 72 inches wide by 84 inches long – 4 inches narrower and 4 inches longer than a regular king.
Remember that your mattress is likely going to have a headboard and rest on frame, and you need to add inches for that as well when imagining how a bed will fit into a space.
