Lets work with the first important factor and that is who will be using the bed. Consider the sizes of the people using the bed. Nowadays, beds come is a larger variety of sizes.
The smallest size, the twin, is most suitable for children. Also, suitable is a bunk bed, which uses the same amount of space as one twin bed and can be used for two people.
The next size up is the full size. This is also known as a double size bed. This size bed is used for older children or adults that need more space in their room. The full size is in between a twin and the next size up, which is queen. This is also a good size for someone who sleeps alone. It takes up less room space and is more than suitable for an average sized single person. Two average sized people can fit in a full sized bed as well, just be sure to take measurements and see if it is the right choice for both of you.
The next size up is a queen size bed. This bed is the most suitable size for 2 people. The size provides a good about of space for the average couple. A queen size bed seems to be a very popular choice among average couple. It is not hard to find bedding in that size. There is a huge selection to choice from. There is another version of the queen size bed available in some places called the Olympic queen. This bed is about 6” wider than the standard queen, for those that need the extra room.
The biggest size available is the king size. The king size now comes in many different versions; the Standard king, California king, and Eastern king. The Standard king measures 76”x80”. The size is basically the same size as two twin size beds lying side by side. This is quite a large bed and great for a big room. The California king size is a bit narrower, but has a longer length for taller people that do not want their feet to hang off the end. An Eastern size bed it a bit shorter and wider on the sides, for those who want more room this way.
