Twin Mattress Size - Choosing the Best Option for Your Needs
Are you thinking it's time to buy a new bed and mattress for your home? If so, deciding on the right dimensions is a crucial aspect of this purchase. Twin mattress size is one of the most common ones - but who is it suitable for? Let's break down the basics about this mattress dimension and help you choose the best one for you.
Twin Bed - Is It the Same as a Single Bed?
There is often confusion about these two terms and whether they refer to the same bed size. Single is more commonly used in Australia, and most Australian online stores will offer you the option of selecting a single bed but won't mention a twin bed. However, twin and single are essentially the same thing - if you see twin being used in the product description, don't get confused.
Twin Bed - The Name Came From Two Singles Being Put Together
How did we come about the name twin for a bed? Decades ago, manufacturers used to predominantly make single and double beds - you didn't have so many options when it came to dimensions to choose from. So, hotels used to put two single beds together to make a double bed (although the width of two singles isn't the same as a double - two singles together are actually wider than a double). This is how the term twin originated.
What Is the Twin Mattress Size?
So, what size is a twin mattress? Knowing that a single bed equals a twin bed, it's safe to assume that their dimensions are the same, right? Yes, this is correct - twin-size mattress dimensions are 92 cm x 188 cm, just like a single bed. There are two relatively similar options for one person that you may consider instead of a twin mattress - these are just slightly wider and longer than a single:
- Long single (or single XL) - 92 cm x 203 cm,
- King single - 107 cm x 203 cm.
Who Is Twin Mattress Best Suited For?
Twin mattress may be designed for one person, but that doesn't mean it's a mattress of choice for a single adult. In fact, this may be too small of a bed for an adult person, especially if they are on the taller side. No, fully grown single people more commonly opt for a double bed or even a queen bed if their bedroom size allows it. So, where does that leave us with twin or single beds?
Twin beds can be a nice addition to a guest bedroom if you can't fit a double or a queen bed in that space. Optionally, you can pretend you're a hotel and put two singles together to make a larger bed for your guests.
Twin Bed - The Go-To Option for a Child's Bedroom
Naturally, a single bed is the bed of choice for a child of all ages. It's a great option for your little one's first bed when they're out of the cot. The dimensions of this bed are suitable for any room size, which is especially important if the kids' bedroom is a bit smaller than usual.
When it comes to design - something that's very important for a child - Simple Deals offers a huge selection of fun, colorful, and unique designs that appeal to every child. Of course, our beds are made of top-quality, durable materials, so your little ones are bound to enjoy a good night's sleep for years - until they grow out of their single beds. This will be somewhere around the start of their teenage years - single beds are rarely recommended for teenagers (they usually prefer a double or a queen).
