The Best Bed Size for Every Sleeper
Best for children: Twin
Twin beds are perfect for kids! They leave plenty of room for play as the most compact bed size. Twin mattresses are also often used in bunk beds.
Best for teens: Twin XL, Full
Twin XL beds are perfect for anticipating growth spurts. Does being over 6 feet tall run in the family? No worries. Since Twin XL mattresses are as long as a Queen or King bed, they can accommodate young kids just as well as teens and adults.
Best for single adults: Twin XL, Full, Queen
Short on space? Twin XL beds offer plenty of room for one adult. In fact, two Twin XL mattresses are the same size as a King mattress, so you get as much space as you would when sharing a King bed with someone!
Best for two adult sleepers: Queen, King, California King
Bigger bed sizes are usually recommended for couples, so you both get plenty of space to relax and unwind at night. However, if your room is smaller than 10' x 12, you might need a double mattress. In this case, you'll really appreciate our mattresses' zero motion transfer technology for uninterrupted sleep on any mattress size!
Best for two adult sleepers with children or pets: King, California King
Got a spacious bedroom? Go for the largest bed size—King or California King! If you have kids (or pets) who like to crawl into bed with you in the morning, you'll be glad to have the extra room. Plus, there's something so inviting about a giant bed filled with cushions and cozy blankets.
Most Popular Mattress Size: Why Do Most People Prefer a King Mattress?
King bed dimensions are roomier than most other mattress sizes. When sharing a bed, a King size mattress allows each person to have plenty of room to relax into a great sleep.
Benefits of King-size mattresses
A larger mattress gives you more room to stretch out and get comfortable. Having a larger bed also means you don't have to sleep as close to your partner as with a Full or Queen size bed. This can help minimize disturbances during your sleep (especially if your partner tends to twitch or toss and turn in their sleep!)
Exceptional comfort from Twin to California King
If you own an Endy mattress, you can reap those same benefits with any mattress size. Our Canadian-made mattresses are made with proprietary Endy Comfort Foam to eliminate motion transfer. So when your partner moves beside you, you won't feel a thing (for real—look it up!) Our zero motion transfer technology is built into every mattress size so you can get amazingly comfortable, undisturbed sleep on any Endy Mattress, from Twin size to California King.
