Mattress Sizes:

Bedding sets are available in a variety of sized because people come in a variety of sizes and have different sleeping requirements. Making sure your bed fits properly is an all too often overlooked practice by a number of people. Most of us would never attempt to wear a pair of shoes that were two or three sizes too small, but those same people might sleep eight or more hours every night in bed that just doesn't fit.

For many years the standard bedding size for two adults was the "double" - also known as the "full" size. This is truly old fashioned sleeping. In fact, two average sized adults in a full size bed only have about 27" of sleeping width. That's the same amount of space they probably had in their cribs as infants. Furthermore, the 75" length is too short for anyone taller than 5'6". A good rule of thumb is to allow about 9" for pillow space.

It makes little sense that we replace our $20,000 and up vehicles after 3 to 5 years, buy our kids $100 shoes every ear but attempt to use our mattress until it falls apart at the seams. Passing your worn out mattress to your kids is not acting in their best interest. In fact, you are sacrificing their health.
