"Where were you guys 20 years ago. I have suffered lower back pain for years and since sleeping on your Magniflex mattress I actually get a good nights sleep and wake up feeling great. I will be telling my friends how good it is"!!

Single 36" x 74" Is most often used in children's rooms and guest bedrooms. It's a narrow bed that's easy to make and can fit almost anywhere. Approx. width per person: 36"

Pros: Because of its small size it will fit easily into smaller bedrooms. Sheets are less expensive than for other size beds. A Twin bed is easy to make.

Cons: Too short for many adults.


Double 54" x 75" (also known as Full) Are only 18" wider than a Single bed. This won't leave much elbow room for 2 adults. Too, a Double bed is only 74" long which may be too short for some adults. Approx. width per person: 27"

Pros: Fits into smaller rooms. Sheets are less expensive than queen or king size.

Cons: Many people find a Double is too narrow for 2 adults with only 27" in width for each person. And, it may be too short for some.


Queen 60" x 80" Beds are 6" wider (and 6" longer) than a Double bed. These added inches can make all the difference in comfort, but each adult still has 6" less than the width of a standard single bed. However, it's a good choice for guest rooms and smaller master bedrooms. Approx. width per person: 30"

Pros: A better fit for 2 adults. The 80" length comfortably accommodates most adults. Bedding is easy to find.

Cons: At only 30" of wide for each person (only 3" wider than a Double) many people find a Queen is still too narrow for comfortable sleeping for a couple. Note that some bedding is sold as "Full/Queen" and may not perfectly fit either size, so check the measurements before purchasing. Can use standard pillows or the slightly larger queen size pillows.


King 72" x 80" is about 12" wider than a Queen bed. Both are about 80" long. The King is the only bed to give each person the same width as a Single bed. In fact you can push two Single beds together to be the same size as a King. This is a good way to have a versatile guest room (use 2 twins separately or push together to make a king bed for couples). Approx. width per person: 38"

Pros: This is the widest standard bed available. Roomy enough for 2 large adults. The 80" length comfortably accommodates most people. Sheets are easy to find and are generally labeled simply "King".

Cons: This is a very large mattress that may not fit easily up stairs or into smaller rooms (this however, is not a problem with the Magniflex mattress which is vacuum packed and can easily be carried up any stairs no matter how small).
