Even A Single Can Enjoy A Double Mattress
July 13th, 2011
Most people who sleep alone opt for a single bed. A double mattress can provide extra comfort for singles. It’s nice to have the extra room for stretching out and if you are a taller or larger person, the double mattress can be exactly the right size.
If you have a small space, you don’t have to settle for a single mattress. There are options that allow you to have a double mattress in a small space. One option is the Murphy bed. The bed folds up against the wall into a closet when not in use. When it’s time to go to bed, you just fold the bed down and you have a comfortable double mattress.
In a studio apartment, a futon or a convertible sofa bed can provide a double bed at night and double as a sofa during the day. If space is at a premium there are solutions where you don’t have to compromise on comfort.
There are two sizes of double mattress available, one is both are 54 inches wide, but one is 75 inches long and the other is 80 inches long. Taller people will probably prefer the 80 inch mattress since it allows 5 extra inches of length which can make a difference. A queen size mattress is only 60 inches wide which means it doesn’t provide that much extra width. It is 80 inches long like the larger double mattress.
The larger the mattress you buy, the more you can expect to spend if you are looking at comparable quality. Whether one or two people will be sleeping on the bed, you need to decide whether to buy a larger mattress of lower quality or a smaller higher quality mattress. Bed linens for larger mattresses also cost more.
If you usually sleep alone but sometimes share your bed with an overnight guest, you will probably want to opt for the double mattress. It will provide much more comfort for you and your guest than a single mattress, especially if you are actually sleeping. Single parents usually opt for the double mattress as well since young children sometimes end up sleeping with their parent when they become frightened or ill in the night.
Single mattresses are most practical for children. Generally a double mattress is practical for adults whether they share their bed with a spouse or sleep alone. It’s easy to compare prices on mattresses of different sizes and qualities. You can check out local vendors at their website, or look at online vendors who often offer a discount on mattresses.
