I have a growing boy in my house! He is currently 6'3 and 225 and 15 year old. His feet hang off his twin. He likes our pillow top, however I know a pillow top won't last long with his size. Suggestions? An extra long full sounds great but the extra cost is huge at the local store.
Hi Maureen,
At 15, I'm guessing that your son will be off somewhere in a few years. It would be silly to spend a lot of money when there are good quality, strong mattresses available at reasonable prices.
The Full XL size is totally impractical. Very few mattress are available in that size. the ones that are, are expensive.
And, sheets that size are hard to find.
Better options are: A standard Full, with him sleeping catty corner...Twin XL...or Queen size if you have the extra 6" in width in the room.
A perfect solution for his desire for comfort, is a 2" soft Talalay removable pillowtop latex topper. Latex is, by far, superior to any of the other foams used in regular, sewn-on pillowtops. It holds up well under me, and I have 15 pounds on him. I wish I were as tall.
