Mattress Sizes

Grace writes:

Hi Pete,

This may sound like a much too basic question.

What are the actual sizes, in inches, of mattresses?

Thanks, Grace

Hi Grace,

No question is too big or too small.

Here are the sizes, in inches:

Twin, (aka, single)...38" x 75"

Twin-XL. (half of a king size)...38" x 80"

Full, (aka, double)...54" x 75"

Queen...60" x 80"

Standard, (Eastern) King...76" x 80"

California King...72" x 84"

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Thanks, Pete
