Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mattresses

What are the dimensions of a full-size mattress?

A full-size mattress is designed to offer a balance of comfort and practicality, measuring 54 inches wide by 75 inches long. This size provides ample space for a single sleeper while being compact enough to fit into smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, or studio apartments. It fits perfectly on a full-size bed, making it a versatile choice for various setups.

Is a full-size mattress bigger than a queen mattress?

No, a full-size mattress is not larger than a queen mattress. While a full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide by 75 inches long, a queen mattress is noticeably bigger, measuring 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. This makes a queen mattress a better choice for couples or individuals who prefer extra space to stretch out during sleep.

Can a full-size mattress fit a couple?

A full-size mattress can accommodate a couple, but it may feel cramped for two adults who prefer additional sleeping space. With a width of 54 inches, it provides 27 inches of personal space per person - less than a twin mattress for an individual. As such, it's often better suited for single sleepers, children and teenagers, or as a guest bed for occasional use.
