Space and comfort play a crucial role in your ability to get a good night's sleep. When you think that most Americans spend an astounding 1/3 of their lives in bed, deciding what size mattress to buy can be a very important decision.

King-sized mattresses are perfect for two adults who have the tendency to "toss and turn" throughout the night. With the bed's large size, it enables each adult to move around in comfort without disturbing the other.

Queen-sized mattresses are probably the most commonly used mattresses for two adults who move only an average amount over the course of the night. They allow enough space for each person without the vast expanse of the King sized mattress.

Full-sized mattresses are generally suitable for one adult. While they are large enough to sleep two people, the full-sized mattress significantly limits the personal space that each individual has.

Twin-sized mattresses are perfect for children or one adult. Often, it is a good idea to furnish a child's room with two twin-sized beds, creating a fun environment for slumber parties and overnight guests.
