Full size mattresses (sometimes called “Double”) are 54″ wide and 75″ long. Full size mattresses really aren’t “double” of anything.
Being 54″ wide full size mattresses are just 16 inches wider than a single. Many just married couples start out on in Full size mattresses and think they have enough room. At just 27″ per person they quickly realize that a full size mattress just isn’t big enough for the 2 of them…
The length of a full size mattress is the same as a twin, 75″. A full size bed is really only big enough for one adult, but 2 full size adults is pushing it when it comes to having enough room.
The next size up from a full size mattress is a queen size mattress which is both longer and wider than a full size mattress.
When shopping for a full size mattress you should definitely consider comparing to a queen size mattress since the cost difference between the two sizes is not that much.
Full size mattresses are great for toddlers moving into their first “big boy” or “big girl” bed and if you buy a good quality one should last them well through their teen years.
We recommend shopping for a good quality full size mattress instead of settling for the least expensive. Your children’s backs will thank you for it as they grow up. They are developing right now and you don’t want to short change their development cycle and you do want to support their backs correctly with a good quality full size mattress.
