Mattresses can come in different sizes. One of the most common is the twin size bed mattress. This size is often used in children's bedroom and school dormitories.
The name itself suggests that it's used for twin size beds. This is also better known as single bed mattress. It has a dimensional size of thirty-nine (39) inches in width and seventy-five (75) inches in length. It is considered to be the smallest size available in the market.
Most are made up of the same materials as with other sizes. It can be composed with a foam, latex, and fiber. Its thickness does not also necessarily follow with its size.
It is being claimed by many people that this is ideal for rooms that have less space. In households, it is commonly used for the bedrooms of the children and for multi-user guest rooms. The narrow size that this kind of mattress has makes it also appealing among the users because its small size gives more space in the room to move around.
The twin size's practicality is also another advantage to buyers. Instead of buying the expensive king size bed mattress, some people opted to join or connect two twin-sized in order to have a somewhat king size mattress. Moreover, a twin size bed mattress is also known to be cheaper compared to other sizes of mattresses. One good thing about it is that you can buy this type of mattress with a great brand with nothing to worry much about on the cost.
These also come in another variation - the twin XL size bed mattress. It has a width of thirty-nine (39) inches and a length of eighty (80) inches. So, practically it is a just five-inch higher in length that of the mattress. The twin XL size bed mattress was designed to accommodate tall teenagers who are staying in school dormitories. It is also used among bunk beds, giving more space to move around.
Although this size is practical, there are still some people who would want the bigger sizes. The small dimension of the twin size mattresses makes it unappealing to people who have large built and high in height. Accordingly, it is better to buy a mattress that is bigger, regardless on the person who will be using it (can be a petite person or heavy in built), because it can surely fit all - than buying something that is less in size and only the small ones can be accommodated. On the twin XL size bed mattress, people might find a little difficulty finding bedding or a cover that can fit with it because such size is not common and is not always available in the market.
No matter the size, the most important thing is that you are comfortable lying on it. It should also suit well to the interest and "level of comfort" to the one using it.
