Questions about beds and mattresses answered. And some stories told.

Canadian Mattress Size Guide

Mattress dimensions can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer’s coil system, typically by 1 to 2 inches less than the standard measurements. Here's a guide to common sizes:

• Twin Size Mattress: Commonly used for children or smaller spaces, the standard maximum size is 39” x 75”. However, actual dimensions may be slightly smaller.

• Twin XL Size Mattress: Ideal for taller individuals or college dorms, Twin XL mattresses measure up to 39” x 80”, though some may be 1–2 inches shorter.

• Double (Full) Size Mattress: With a maximum size of 54” x 75”, double mattresses are suitable for single sleepers who prefer more space. Expect potential slight reductions in size.

• Double XL Size Mattress: Offering extra legroom, this version measures up to 54” x 80”, but again, coil system variations may result in a smaller actual size.

• Queen Size Mattress: A popular choice for couples or those wanting more personal space, queen mattresses are up to 60” x 80”. Minor size reductions are possible depending on construction.

• King Size Mattress: The king offers expansive space at a maximum of 78” x 80”, perfect for couples or families who co-sleep. Manufacturers may produce slightly smaller versions.

• California King Size Mattress: Known for its extra length, the California King can be up to 72” x 84”, but some models might be marginally smaller due to internal components.

Always check specific dimensions before purchase to ensure the perfect fit.
