A full-size mattress, also known as a double, is typically 54 inches wide by 75 inches long, though some brands can list them as 53 inches wide by 75 inches long. The full size is one step up from a twin, which is the mattress size detailed below.
A full-size mattress offers more width, making it more comfortable for single sleepers who need more room or couples who don't mind close quarters. It's also popular for teenagers and the ideal mattress size for smaller bedrooms where having enough space for a restful sleep is a priority.
If you're confused about the differences between a full size and a double bed, it's because there aren't any! These terms are used interchangeably because they refer to beds (and mattresses) that measure 54 inches wide by 75 inches long.
In the past, people used the term "double bed" to refer to a bed double the size of a single, and thus suitable for two people. But over time, larger beds, such as queens and kings, became the standard for many couples, making "full-size" a more common designation for these dimensions.
Full or double mattresses are wider than a twin, but their length is the same. The exact difference between them is 16 inches (or 40 centimeters). Specifically, where a full mattress has a 54-inch width, a twin is 38 inches wide.
This additional width allows more space for a single sleeper or makes it feasible for two people to sleep comfortably side-by-side. Both mattress sizes are suitable for adults and teenagers. The choice between them usually comes down to the number of people sharing the bed and any space limitations in the room.
