Is a King, Queen or Double bed the right size mattress for you?<\/h2>\n

\"MattressChoosing the best mattress size for you (and your partner) is as important as choosing the right fit of underwear. Too big or too small and you\u2019ll be uncomfortable all the time. Your personal preferences for mattress size may be about comfort, style or health but there\u2019s no denying your bed sets the tone for how well you sleep and can affect your mood the whole day long.<\/p>\n

Do you need room to move around a lot at night or snuggle in closer with your partner? When it comes to buying a new mattress, there\u2019s a wide range of questions to ask yourself And since you don\u2019t buy a new mattress every year, it\u2019s important to slow down to ensure the mattress you buy exceeds expectations \u2013 and delivers the best sleep possible.<\/p>\n

Thankfully mattresses, like underwear, come in smorgasbord of shapes, styles and sizes. If you sleep with someone else, you won\u2019t be surprised to know that being disturbed by a partner is the number one sleep complaint from couples who share a bed.<\/p>\n

To know if a bed is the right fit for you, lie beside your partner on your mattress, with your hands under your head and your elbows pointing out. If your elbows barely graze each other or don\u2019t touch at all, you\u2019re on the right size mattress.<\/p>\n

This chart will help determine which mattress is the next size up from the one you\u2019re sleeping on. After all, there\u2019s more to understanding mattress size<\/a> than just elbow room.<\/p>\n

\"TwinTwin size mattress<\/h3>\n

Twin (or single) mattresses are most often used by children and college kids in dormitories. They were once a popular option for mature adults who slept alone in their own apartments or homes \u2013 or boarding houses, where space was tight. A regular twin mattress offers a comfortable length for most men and women but a Twin XL mattress (or Cal twin mattress) delivers an extra six inches in length.<\/p>\n

\"DoubleDouble (full) size mattress<\/h3>\n

During the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s, the double \u2013 or full-sized \u2013 mattress ruled marital bedrooms, even though it was only 15\u201d wider than a twin size bed. But our homes were smaller then and we were shorter too. Today, double size mattresses are a popular choice for spare rooms and sometimes a child\u2019s room.<\/p>\n

If you and your partner are less than 5\u20195\u201d tall and sleep in a smaller bedroom, a double (full) bed may be a good choice for you. Sheets are also less expensive than with larger or specialty mattresses.<\/p>\n

\"QueenQueen size mattress<\/h3>\n

Queen size mattresses gained popularity in the 80\u2019s and are now the most popular size mattress for people who share a bed<\/a> with a partner. Here\u2019s why \u2013 the 6\u201d addition in width and length from a double mattress make for a more comfortable and less-disturbed sleeping environment.<\/p>\n

For many couples, a queen size bed is the ideal choice as it fits well into most bedrooms and is larger enough to give both people the space they need to sleep undisturbed.<\/p>\n

\"KingKing size mattress \u2013 standard & California<\/h3>\n

King size mattresses have come into vogue in the last decade, offering couples as much space in bed with their partner as if they were alone in a twin. In fact, if you push two twin size mattresses together, you\u2019ll have a king size bed \u2013 in width at least.<\/p>\n

King size mattresses come in two popular lengths, offering taller people more legroom. The California King mattress is the longest mattress available.<\/p>\n

The pros & cons of a king size mattress<\/h2>\n

Because of the size of king size mattresses, they\u2019re not a viable option for many homes. They can be tricky to maneuver around corners and up the stairs and are heavier than other mattresses. What\u2019s more, they simply won\u2019t allow for walkability around the mattress in smaller homes and apartments. Bedding is also more expensive and extra-long pillows are needed. On the flip side, they offer sprawlers the opportunity to move freely throughout the night with disturbing their partners. And when kids and pets pile into the bed, there\u2019s more than enough room for everyone.<\/p>\n

So how do you find the right mattress size for you<\/h2>\n
