twin XL

Longer dorm bed

Twin XL is a mattress size measuring approximately 38 by 80 inches—the same width as a standard twin but five inches longer.

The extra length accommodates taller sleepers, making it the standard bed size in college dormitories: I need twin XL sheets for my dorm room.

Two twin XL mattresses placed side by side equal a king-size bed.
