When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, comfort isn’t just about mattress type; it’s also about size. Choosing the right mattress size can make all the difference in how your bedroom looks, feels, and functions. At Garner Appliance & Mattress, we help customers find the perfect fit for their rooms and routines, whether they’re outfitting a master suite or furnishing a guest room.
So, how do you know what-sized mattress is best for your space? Here’s a breakdown of standard mattress sizes and how to choose the best one for your room.
Twin and Twin XL
Twin mattresses (39" x 75") are great for smaller bedrooms, kids’ rooms, or bunk beds. If you need a bit more length, the Twin XL (39" x 80") is a smart upgrade (especially for taller sleepers or dorm setups). These compact sizes are perfect for maximizing space without sacrificing comfort.
Full (Double)
Full mattresses (55" x 75") give solo sleepers more room to stretch out. They’re ideal for guest rooms or smaller primary bedrooms where you want comfort without crowding the space. At Garner Appliance & Mattress, you can test out Full-size options from top brands like Serta, known for pressure relief and long-lasting support.
Queen
Queen mattresses (60" x 80") are the most popular size for couples and individuals alike. They fit well in medium-to-large rooms and strike a great balance between space and practicality. If you're looking for responsive comfort and motion isolation, explore Beautyrest Queen mattresses at Garner Appliance & Mattress, a customer favorite for good reason.
King and California King
For maximum space and comfort, King (76" x 80") and California King (72" x 84") mattresses are ideal. A King offers the most width, perfect if you sleep with a partner, pet, or child. A California King provides a bit more length, ideal for taller sleepers. Whether you prefer plush or firm, both Serta and Beautyrest offer King-size options you can try in person at both of our showroom locations.
How to Choose the Right Size for You
Start by measuring your room. Leave at least 24-30 inches around the bed for walking space and furniture access. Think about who will be using the bed; solo sleeper or couple, occasional visitors or everyday comfort. Consider if you’ll have nightstands, a dresser, or other furniture that affects how the bed fits.
Our team at Garner Appliance & Mattress is happy to walk you through the options and help you compare sizes, comfort levels, and layouts in person. Whether you’re choosing a mattress for a child’s first bed or upgrading your own sleep space, we’ll help you find the right fit from brands you can trust.
