Many Dallas home buyers, especially those that are first time home buyers, often have to use their imagination to picture how furniture will fit within the dimensions of a room. First time home buyers often move into their first home from an apartment or a smaller home and then will buy furniture after closing. It is always important to consider bedroom sizes when choosing a home to ensure there is enough room to fit the bed as well as any other bedroom furniture that will be in the room.
While mattress size is always important to consider, always add a little extra to account for the size of the bedframe as well. Bed frames come in a variety of different sizes and shapes and can have a huge impact on the total dimensions of the bed.
HERE IS A LIST OF MATTRESS SIZES:
TWIN SIZE:
Dimensions - 39" wide by 75" long. That's 3.25' X 6.25'. In a 10X10 bedroom, which is a common size bedroom in smaller, production built homes, that leaves almost four feet of room in between the foot of the bed and the wall. It also leaves about 6.75 feet of space in between the bed, depending on whether it's up against a wall or put in the middle of the room to allow for space on both sides.
EXTRA LONG TWIN SIZE:
Dimensions - 39" wide by 80" long. That's 3.25' X 6.67'. The width is the same as a regular twin but it's five inches longer.
FULL SIZE:
Dimensions - 54" wide by 75" long. That's 4.5' X 6.25'. So a full size mattress is the same length as a twin size but is 15 inches wider.
QUEEN SIZE:
Dimensions - 60" wide by 80" long. That's 5' X 6.67'. At this point, it is especially important to take note of the size of the bed frame because many headboards and baseboards on queens are often substantially longer than full size and twin beds.
KING SIZE:
Dimensions - 76" wide by 80" long. That's 6.34' X 6.67'. So a king size bed is the same length as a queen size, but is a full 16 inches wider.
CALIFORNIA KING SIZE:
Dimensions - 72" wide by 84" long. That's 6' X 7'. A California King Size mattress is a little less wide than a regular king size but is four inches longer.
