After a hard day at work, one comes back home, has a nice meal, and then goes to sleep to regain the energy needed for the next day. Sleeping is among the most essential phenomena that is needed to survive. Like one needs to have food and water, one also needs to sleep daily to survive. One can’t go without sleep for even a day. For a night of good sleep, one needs a good bed. And for comfortable sleeping one needs a good mattress.

COMPARING BETWEEN FULL SIZE AND TWIN SIZE MATTRESSES
It must be a tough task while choosing between twin v/s full mattresses but one must analyze the specification of each mattress. The twin-size mattress has a width of 38 inches and can accommodate one person comfortably whereas a full-size mattress can accommodate tall adults or kids who sleep with a pet.
The length of both the mattresses is the same but the difference in breadth. A full-size mattress is about 16 inches wider than a twin-size mattress. For a single child, twin beds are comfortable. They can perfectly accommodate one person or growing adults. While full bed mattresses are perfect for an adult person who needs some extra space while sleeping or for couples who like to cuddle.
Couples having a small budget can surely buy full-size mattresses whereas twin mattresses can be too small for couples and people having more than 5’5 feet height. For kids getting transferred from a crib to a bed, the twin-size mattress is perfect. A queen-size mattress is ideal for couples.
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED WHILE BUYING A MATTRESS

- Budget: Another main thing before buying a mattress is that you need to fix your budget first for example if you have a small budget then you can buy the twin mattress and if your budget is a little bit high then you can buy the full-size mattress.
