COMMON U.S. MATTRESS SIZES - (AND SOME ODD ONES) MATTRESS SIZE CHART

mattress sizes
     What size mattress do you have?  Well, here is the low down on mattress measurements and common sizes.  Also, I'll explain why you sometimes see differing measurements on mattress sizes depending on where you look.  So here we go.

     There are 4 common mattress sizes used in the U.S. today.  They are:
  1. Twin Size - 39" x 75"
  2. Full Size - 54" x 75"
  3. Queen Size - 60" x 80"
  4. King size - 78" x 80"
     There are a few common "odd" sized mattresses too.  They are:
  1. Twin XL - 39" x 80"
  2. Full XL - 54" x 80"
  3. California King - 74" x 84"
I say "common odd sizes" because they are not typically stocked by mattress stores(at least on the east coast) but are readily available by most manufacturers without a problem.  

     Now, when you measure your own mattress to check, you may notice that the mattress is an inch or two less than the factory measurements.  This is very common and is to be expected.  Remember, mattresses are a textile product that are sewn together and trimmed too.  This brings the overall measurements in a bit.  

     If you have any comments or suggestions, please leave a comment.  Thanks for stopping by Mattress Man Online!

Back To School Mattress Sale - Save More On Our Mattresses! College Discounts on Mattresses

     Well, summer is here and that means that some of you college students will be getting a head start on your classes.  We just want to let you know that we're here for your mattress needs!  For years we have been a main supplier of mattresses for the Worcester area college students.  If you're getting a new apartment, or stuck on a thin little dorm mattress with no support, we're here to help.

     Because we keep our overhead extremely low and maintain an inexpensive advertising budget, we are able to give you more options and better quality in an inexpensive mattress.  Also, our flexible delivery schedule allows your move in day to go much more smoothly.

     Every year our back to school mattress sale is a huge hit.  College kids all over central Massachusetts have come to see us and usually send their friends in too!  We even have a referral program for college students.  For every person that you send our way that buys a mattress, you get $20 cash!  We've had college students come in 4 and 5 at a time to cash in on the mattress referral plan.  What a way to get even more savings on your mattress set!

     Now, let's go to the mattresses!  Prices for mattresses start at just $99 for a twin.  Our most common sizes are full size sets for just $199, and queen size sets for just $229.  What's nice with these is that although they are an entry level mattress, they are adult rated with over 400 coils in a queen.  The mattresses also have nice quilted tops for extra comfort.  We sell this mattress by the truckload every year during the back to school mattress sale.

     The next level up gives you a lot of extra comfort, but that doesn't mean the price goes crazy!  A queen set in the next level is only $249!  This is such a great deal and when you see them side by side, you'll know what I mean.  Plus, you can add a pillow top at this level that adds even more comfort.

     We welcome you into one of our showrooms to try these mattresses out, or order by phone, or online.  If you can, we recommend you take a drive out to our Webster showroom where we feature many mattress sets that are on clearance!  These are name brand, high end mattresses that are up to 70% off their original retails!  These sets move quickly though so they are not posted online typically.

How To Wash A Latex Foam Pillow - Instructions From The Manufacturer

     The benefits of a natural latex pillow are many.  In addition to the amazing comfort and support benefits of natural latex pillows, they are long lasting.  I'm talking many years.  My own personal experience has been 5 years so far, and my latex pillows look and feel like new.  This brings up a common question:  How do I wash my latex pillow?  After all, a pillow that you keep that long is going to get dirty at some point!  Well, I've read a few articles on the internet on how to do this, but not many good ones.  I decided to talk to the manufacturer directly.  Here's what I found out.....

     First off, they aren't real keen on people washing their latex pillows.  Seems every sentence started with "If you must....".  That being said, here are the instructions I was given:

1.  DO NOT wash your pillow in a washer, nor dry it in a dryer.

2.  If you must clean the pillow you will want to hand wash (either spot cleaning it or using a cloth to lightly clean it)


3.  To dry it you must air dry it, never put the Latex Bun in a dryer.


4.  You may wash the cover in a delicate cold wash, and air dry so it does not shrink.


5.  Please note, if you do wash the latex foam bun it does void the warranty.


     Notice they never mention soaking the latex pillow in warm water with dish soap!  I have read a few articles suggesting you do this.  Spot cleaning seems to work just fine.  I have done this to mine and have had no issues.  My personal recommendation is to use a protective cover on the pillow and just wash that.  They are inexpensive and keep your latex pillows clean!






     If you have any comments or questions, please post them in the comments or in the mattress forum at the top of the page.  If any of you have any experience with cleaning your latex pillows, we would love to hear about it.  Thanks!


Sleep Well, 


John The Mattress Man
