One of the most important design choices you’ll make in a bedroom is choosing the right bed size for the space. So, first thing’s first\u2014you need to analyze your room’s layout. Larger bedrooms with plenty of wall space will fit a bigger bed (like a king size or California king size) nicely. But if you have tighter square footage<\/a>, an awkward layout with limited options for bed placement, or more furniture than average, then you should account for this when choosing your bed. Determining the bed sizes and mattress dimensions that will best suit your bedrooms’ configuration will provide a better canvas for you to design around. Once you’ve measured the room and taken your other bedroom furniture<\/a> into account, it’s time to choose your bed size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with roomy primary bedrooms that love the luxe look might prefer a California king to take center stage; couples living in smaller apartments who still want a spacious bed might opt for a queen; and kids’ and teens’ beds will largely depend on the size of their rooms. Below, we’re giving you a full-scope description of bed sizes and mattress dimensions for each size, along with a bed size guide and tips based on sleeping habits and bedroom needs. Whether you’re upgrading your own bedroom, setting up your guest room<\/a>, or getting a new bed for the kids\u2019 room<\/a>, we’re here to help you make the best decision for you. After you’ve chosen your perfect fit, you can get to the fun part, like picking out the perfect comforter<\/a> and area rug<\/a> to complement your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twin XL<\/td>38\u201d wide x 80\u201d long<\/td>Similar to a twin but with a little extra legroom, this size is most commonly seen in college dorms<\/a>.<\/td><\/tr>
