Mattress Basics

Size, support, comfort and price are just a few things to consider when buying a new sleep set. Choosing the correct size can make a big difference in the quality of sleep you get from a new mattress. First you need to make sure you fit on the mattress and secondly that if you have a sleeping partner that both of you have enough “personal” space that you don’t affect each others sleep. The four industry standard sizes are:

• Twin (38 x 75)
• Full (54 x 75)
• Queen (60 x 80)
• King (76 x 80)

Additional “special” sizes are also available to accommodate almost everyone. Comfort, price and support can all go hand in hand. You may be able to find a comfort level you like at a wide price range, but the price usually goes up as the support gets stronger. A good rule is to purchase as high a level of support as you can afford to get the most out of your new mattress set.
