Mattress Sizes Explained: Find the Perfect Fit for Your Space

When it comes to choosing the right bed, size is one of the most important factors. The right mattress size can make all the difference in comfort, style, and how well it fits into your bedroom. At Candace & Basil, we specialize in in-house, from-scratch craftsmanship of upholstered beds — meaning we can build any size bed frame — and can even source custom mattresses, and custom bedding to match. Whether you need a traditional size, an oversized option, or something completely unique, we’ve got you covered.

Standard Mattress Sizes and Their Uses

Twin / Twin XL

• Ideal for kids, teens, or smaller spaces.

• Twin XL offers extra length, perfect for taller sleepers or college dorms.

Full / Double

• Great for single sleepers who want more room to stretch out.

• Works well in guest rooms and smaller apartments.

Queen

• The most popular choice for couples.

• Balances comfort and space efficiency, fitting well into most master bedrooms.

King

• Perfect for couples who want maximum space.

• Popular in master suites where space isn’t an issue.

California King

• Slightly narrower but longer than a standard King.

• A top choice for taller individuals who need the extra legroom.

Oversized and Specialty Mattress Sizes

Some families and design lovers go beyond the basics, opting for oversized mattresses that bring a unique sense of comfort and luxury:

• Euro Queen – A European variation with slightly different dimensions than the North American queen.

• Texas King – Wider than a California King, great for large bedrooms.

• Wyoming King – Even bigger, offering more width for sprawling sleepers or co-sleeping families.

• Alaskan King – The largest of them all; a true statement piece for oversized master suites.

These sizes aren’t widely available from traditional mattress retailers, which makes it hard for customers to find matching frames and bedding. That’s where we come in.

Custom Sizes and Designs

Because we build everything in-house from framing to upholstery, we’re not limited to standard options. We can:

• Create custom bed frames in any size, including dimensions in between standard options.

• Design around specialty mattresses — or build the mattress itself if you’re having trouble sourcing one.

• Handcraft custom bedding tailored to your unique mattress size, so everything fits perfectly.

• Even bring your own design to life — whether that’s a sketch, inspiration photo, or completely new concept.
