When shopping for a
Twin Mattress, decide upfront what length you would like. A standard
Twin Mattress measures 39”x75”, but extra long Twin Mattresses are available at an 80” length. Standard fitted sheets will fit the regular sized
Twin Mattress, but sheets can be ordered online to accommodate the longer size. Occasionally they can also be found in retail stores or ordered through catalogs. Twin mattresses will fit single beds made of metal or wood. Often they are used in pairs in bedrooms shared by siblings or college roommates. If you’ve always wanted a king-sized bed, putting two twin beds together will achieve the size that you desire, but you will have to use the extra long
Twin Mattresses to achieve this. Fitted king sized sheets will work with this arrangement. This is sometimes a good option if small spaces make it difficult to maneuver a king-sized mattress or box spring into the room. A
Twin Mattress can come in the same variety of styles as the full, queen and king mattresses. Whether you choose firm, pillow top or foam, test all the types before you purchase a mattress.
