Innerspring Mattresses

The smallest adult mattress size, twin mattresses are a popular choice when you have a limited amount of room available for your bed. If you only need a bed for one person, then a twin mattress does the trick. Twin mattresses are also common for kids' spaces and dorm rooms.

Twin XL is generally about 6 inches longer than a twin mattress. That extra length is nice if you want more room to stretch your legs, especially if you're 6 feet tall or taller. Both twin and twin XL mattresses have the same width.

A full mattress is the same length as a twin and significantly wider. It gives you far more room to roll around without taking up as much floor space as the largest mattresses. This mattress size provides plenty of space if it's just you, and it's a good choice for kids' beds so they have a mattress they can grow into.

Like the twin XL, the full XL is about 6 inches longer than its counterpart. It's a great size if you're too tall to comfortably fit in a full and want more room to move than a twin XL offers. Full mattresses and full XL mattresses are the same width.

Being both wider and longer than full mattresses, queen mattresses provide plenty of real estate. They're long enough that you still have leg room even if you're taller than average and wide enough for a couple to use. Queen mattresses are very popular for master bedrooms and guest bedrooms because they provide a large sleeping surface while still fitting into rooms of almost any size.

A king mattress is about the same size as two twin XL mattresses lined up next to each other. This size is ideal if you're sleeping with a partner every night. Also, if you sleep solo and prefer extra room for rolling, a king is the right choice.

A California king mattress is the longest mattress you can get, measuring about 4 inches longer than a king mattress. If you love your leg room, then a California king is ideal. This mattress size isn't quite as wide as a king but is still much wider than a queen, and there's more than enough room for two.

Firm mattresses prioritize support, and they're what you want if you prefer a bed that feels solid when you lie on it. You get the most support with extra firm mattresses, which work well if you sleep on your back and want to keep it in the most stable possible position. Firm mattresses have a little more cushioning than their extra firm counterparts, making them good for sleeping on your stomach.

With a medium mattress, you have a mix of cushioning and support. It's ideal when you prefer a balanced sleeping surface over one that's either solid or soft as a feather. These mattresses are also compatible with any sleeping position.

Plush mattresses have that soft support that makes you feel like you're lying in your bed rather than on it. They're excellent for relieving pressure on your body, and they're particularly comfortable if you're a side sleeper. For even more cushioning, check out extra plush mattresses.

One advantage of innerspring mattresses is that they don't trap heat. You may still prefer a mattress that's on the cooler side, and that's where an innerspring mattress with cooling makes a big difference. Imagine if your entire bed felt like the cool side of the pillow to get a good idea of what these mattresses feel like.

Hypoallergenic mattresses are designed to keep out common household allergens This includes dust mites, bacteria, and mold. If you have allergies, a hypoallergenic mattress is a decent way to keep your sinuses clear and get a peaceful night's sleep.

While innerspring mattresses are inherently durable and long-lasting, they still eventually wear down after a decade or more of everyday use. With a double-sided mattress, each side of the mattress works as a sleeping surface. You can flip it over every few months and balance out the wear, leading to a much longer lifespan for your mattress.
