Sizes of Beds
What size bed do you need? What is the difference between a single and a
twin bed? How big is a full bed compared to a king size? These are all
questions you should arm yourself with the answer to and here is where
you can find the answers.
Single Bed: Also known as a Twin Bed, designed for one person to sleep
in and will usually be 3 foot wide or 39 inches wide and would be 6 feet
long.
Twin Bed: Also known as a Single Bed, designed for one person to sleep
in and will usually be 3 foot wide or 39 inches wide and would be 6 feet
long There are extra length versions available for the taller sleeper.
Three Quarter Bed: An increasingly rare size bed, it is a 4ft wide bed
which is smaller than a double bed and really designed for just one
person, however when they are found they are usually being purchased by
the parents of teenagers with small rooms, they provide a compromise
between having space for a sleepover but not taking up the whole room,
you may have trouble finding bedding and headboards for these.
Full Bed or Double Bed: Designed to sleep 2 people, what most people
have in their bedrooms as a couple that sleep together. Usually four and
a half feet wide but sometimes a bit more these are easy to find bedding
and headboards for.
Queen Size: Larger than a full bed, a Queen size provides a more
comfortable and spacious sleep for 2 people, increasingly popular as
room sizes shrink in modern housing developments, usually 5 foot wide.
King Size: The daddy of beds, 5 and a half feet wide, plenty of room for
2 people to sleep outstretched.
Super King Size: The big one, six feet of space like having twin beds
pushed together. The ultimate in space for bed sharing couples.
