You probably know that your mattress size determines your nighttime comfort and affects your quality of life. If you ever struggle to sleep through the night or wake up with a low back pain or neck pain, it could be that you are using the wrong mattress size.
A wrong mattress size may also hinder your efforts to lose weight and stay healthy. Studies show that a comfortable mattress lessens nervousness and irritability, reduces pains and aches associated with deprived sleep, and improves your quality of life.
If you are like most people, you are not sure the right mattress size for you or what the popular mattress size is, let alone the standard mattress size.. This is compounded by the fact that there are no standard mattress sizes for particular body sizes or taller individuals like there are for shoes and clothes. Most of us purchase the mattress size we think will fit or what our peers recommend to us as a popular size.
We are here to end this guesswork for you. At No Bulls Mattress, we have long years of experience in mattress and sleep matters and know just the right mattress size for you. Here is a guide to help you choose the best mattress size for a restful night and better quality of life:
Your baby spends most of the time sleeping. Their comfort and safety determine the crib mattress you select. At No Bull Mattress, we stock mini-crib and standard crib mattresses ideal for your nursery.
A mini crib measures 24″ wide and 34″ long and is ideal for a small room or placing two mini-cribs for twins. You can also use mini-cribs in a relative’s home, where you may need to go for sleepovers.
Your baby will fit in a standard crib for several years. Besides, you can convert it into a toddler bed to avoid buying another bed until when the baby no longer needs the barricade fixed on cribs. If you have a standard crib mattress, you can still use it on your toddler bed depending on the bed size.
Crib mattresses range from 4″-6″. Choose a crib mattress that fits perfectly on your crib, reducing any inches of space, to enhance your baby’s safety.
Twin mattresses fit perfectly in small corners to give room for other bedroom furniture. They are the best for kids who have outgrown their toddler beds and have to share a small room or accommodate more furniture in their rooms. They measure 38” by 75″.
You can choose a twin mattress when shopping on a budget, as they are inexpensive. However, they are too small if you want your kids to share a bed or when their friends come for a sleepover. A twin mattress is considered best for single sleepers or possibly a single adult. Twin mattresses are also wonderful for bunk beds.
Your twin XL mattress is 38″ by 80″. You can put two of them together to form a standard king-size mattress. They are ideal when you want kids to be single sleepers, but you can join them to accommodate guests sharing a bed.
Twin XL mattresses are inexpensive. However, if you are graduating from a twin mattress to a twin XL, you need to purchase bigger bedding as this mattress is longer than a twin mattress by 5 “.

This is the standard mattress for standard adult size beds. They are perfect for normal size adults and can be used by individuals or with a partner. Measuring 54″ by 74″, they fit well in medium size bedrooms. These mattresses are used in restaurants and medium size bedrooms as a single mattress. This is a great size for guest bedrooms.
This mattress is perfect for you if you or your partner requires extra length. They measure 54″ by 80′, making it 6 inches wider than a full/double bed. They are more expensive than standard double mattresses and may ask for special bedding.
