"First and foremost, measure your bedroom or apartment correctly to know what you actually have room for, and what amount of space you're willing to devote to a mattress. "If you're not sure, go home and measure," Fruchtman advised. Some mattress stores may not do size-based exchanges like they do comfort ones. Second, consider whether or not anyone else will be sleeping with you in the bed-a partner or pets, for example-or anything else that will affect your bed-size needs."
"Finally, don't let the royally named bed sizes fool you into purchasing a bed that ultimately doesn't fit your body or your lifestyle. Fruchtman pointed out how modern-day pressure to constantly upgrade our lifestyles has extended to the mattress industry. But whether someone is better off sleeping in a California king, a regular king, or a twin XL depends on a variety of personal factors."
Measure the bedroom or apartment accurately to determine what mattress dimensions will fit and how much space can be devoted to a bed. Account for anyone else who will share the bed, including partners and pets, and any activities that influence required space. Recognize that mattress sizes are generally standardized but can vary slightly by brand, and some retailers may not permit size-based exchanges. Do not choose based on size names alone; selections such as California king, regular king, queen, or twin XL should be based on personal body size, sleeping position, bedroom layout, and lifestyle preferences.
