Utilizing a pocket sized guide when buying your next bed is a necessity when considering the dimensions of the bedroom and the physical attributes of the person who will be using it. It can be a tricky endeavor to choose the correct bed if you do not have a convenient guide at your fingertips. It's helpful to know the characteristics of attainable beds and their sizes. The twin sized, or single bed, measures 39 inches wide by 75 inches long - that is unless it's an extra long twin which would then be 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. Usually, extra long twin beds are procured for those who are above average height, but it's not unusual for the extra longs to turn up in college dorm rooms also. A twin sized bed is perfectly adequate for an adult, though many purchase this size with young children or teens in mind. The double bed (also called a full sized) was most often used by couples before the invention of the queen and king beds. And yet it's not uncommon today for many couples to use the double bed and find the 54 inches wide by 75 inches long measurements completely satisfactory. Because of it's more than sufficient size, the queen bed is one probably one of the most sought after sizes for single adults and couples who are mindful of their average sized rooms in which to accommodate a bed. There are three sizes under the queen label: Olympic queen (66 inches wide by 80 inches long), the queen (60 inches wide by 84 inches long) and the standard queen (60 inches wide by 80 inches long). Certainly the varied sizes of the queen option has increased it's consumer appeal. The king sized bed is the largest of all the choices averaging a 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. Unless you are talking about the king which comes in at 72 inches wide by 84 inches long. The spaciousness of the king is comparable to two side-by-side twin beds. It is wise to consider the size of the room the bed will go into, the physical attributes of the person using the bed and whether or not you'll need increased sleeping room in the future before embarking on your bed shopping experience. To assure a more enjoyable buying experience when shopping for beds, be sure to carry along this helpful guide whether you are making your purchases online or at the store itself.
