It is sized at 38"x80" and would fit in a bedroom of eight feet by ten feet in size. These bed sizes are ideal for children which are taller for adults who have space constraints. It is a very popular dorm room mattress and is very popular among college students.

Full Size Mattress:-Measuring at 54"x75" full-size mattress has the same length as a twin mattress. These mattresses are ideal for someone sleeping alone but would need some extra space to stretch. They are ideal for people who have smaller bedrooms, as they would be the perfect fit for their bedroom. These beds are also considered ideal for the guest room as they would allow a single person or even a couple to sleep comfortably.

Queen Size Mattress:-Queen size mattress measures 60"x80" and is wider and longer than a full-size mattress. These mattresses are ideal for a couple and are the most preferred mattress in the market. Its preferences arise from the fact that these mattresses are the most ideal bedroom mattress for couples. This mattress is designed for the master bedroom and will also leave you some extra space after its occupation.
