When it comes to filling up your apartment with furniture, the most important accessory is a bed.  You will spend every night sleeping in it and it can affect your health depending on the effects your mattress has on your quality of sleep.  Comfort is the main concern but the size and shape of your bed also plays a part in selecting the perfect bedroom set.

How big of a bed do you need/want?  This answer normally comes from analyzing the size of your living space, as you don’t want your bed to take up 95% of your bedroom space.  Below are the most popular bed sizes and this should help you decide which size will fit best into your apartment.

• Twin beds: 39″ wide x 75″ long
• Extra Long Twin beds: 39″ wide x 80″ long
• Double beds/Full beds: 54″ wide x 75″ long
• Queen size beds:60″ wide x 80″ long
