Twin XL Size Bed Frames

A twin XL mattress is 80 inches long. It’s 5 inches longer than a standard twin size mattress, which is 75 inches long. While twin size mattresses are common for children and bunk beds, the twin XL is often the preferred choice for teens, college students, and single adults who can benefit from the extra leg room.

No, they are two different sizes. A twin XL mattress is 80 inches long, while the length of a standard twin is 75 inches. A twin bed frame is 5 inches too short. It would cause your mattress – and likely your feet – to hang off the end of the bed frame. You’re more likely to get a great night's sleep by choosing a bed frame that exactly matches your mattress size – and you can find them all here on our website. If you’re having trouble deciding which frame is right for you, make sure to reach out to our stellar customer service team, who can help you make a great choice.

The only difference is in the length of the bed. Both a twin and a twin XL mattress measure 38 inches in width, but the twin XL is 5 inches longer – 80 inches compared to the twin bed’s 75 inches. Twin beds are great for children and toddlers who have outgrown cribs. A twin XL bed, on the other hand, is just as long as a queen and king, which makes it a great space-saving choice for tall sleepers. Having 5 extra inches of leg room can make a world of difference. And if you’re dealing with a small sleeping space, the narrow width of a twin XL bed won’t take up the entire room.

You can also put two twin XL mattresses together on a king size bed frame. This is especially helpful if you and your sleeping partner have different sleeping preferences. Known as a split king, each sleeper can choose the desired mattress firmness without making the other sleeper uncomfortable. It’s a win-win.

No, our bed frames do not include headboards, but they do include headboard attachments. We make it easy by including all the brackets and hardware you’ll need to attach the headboard of your choice. Just make sure you either buy or make a headboard that’s the right size for your frame. A good rule of thumb is that a headboard should be wider than your bed frame by about three inches on each side, and should sit no higher than 14 inches above your mattress.

The size is similar, but we wouldn’t recommend it. You’re better off putting two twin XL mattresses on a king size bed frame instead of using two separate twin xl frames. If you try to put two bed frames together, you might end up with a gap in the middle of the bed that can make for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. Using a king bed frame with 2 twin XL mattresses works especially well if the mattresses have reinforced edge support.
