A Full XL mattress measures 53 inches in width by 80 inches in length.
This specialized mattress size is designed to offer a significant length advantage compared to a standard full mattress. While maintaining the same width as a regular full, the Full XL provides an additional five inches of length, making it an ideal choice for taller individuals who require more space to stretch comfortably.
Understanding Full XL Dimensions
To better understand how the Full XL compares to other common mattress sizes, particularly its standard counterpart, consider the following dimensions:
| Mattress Size | Width (inches) | Length (inches) | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 53 | 75 | Standard for single sleepers or couples who don't mind snuggling. |
| Full XL | 53 | 80 | Same width as a full, but 5 inches longer; ideal for tall sleepers. |
| Queen | 60 | 80 | Wider and often longer than a full; popular for couples. |
Who Benefits from a Full XL?
The Full XL mattress is particularly well-suited for:
- Tall Individuals: Sleepers who find their feet hanging off a standard full or even a twin mattress will appreciate the generous 80-inch length.
- Growing Teenagers: As teenagers grow, a Full XL can provide sufficient space to accommodate their height, offering a comfortable sleep surface that can last through their later developmental stages.
- Smaller Bedrooms: If a Queen mattress is too large for a room but more length is needed than a standard full offers, the Full XL provides a great compromise, fitting into narrower spaces while still delivering ample legroom.
This mattress size ensures that even those over 6 feet tall can enjoy a restful night's sleep without feeling cramped or restricted by the bed's length.
