Choosing the right bed size isn’t just about comfort, it’s about making the most of your bedroom space, your sleep quality, and your budget. At National Mattress, we know that the simple question “What size bed do I need?” often turns into a deep dive into numbers, dimensions, and mattress types. That’s why we’ve created this complete guide to Canadian bed sizes to make your decision stress-free.

At 38” x 75”, the Single/Twin mattress is compact, affordable, and perfect for kids’ rooms or smaller apartments.
The Twin XL mattress (38” x 80”) is 5 inches longer than a standard twin, making it the perfect choice for taller sleepers who need extra legroom. It’s also the standard size for most college dorm rooms, offering a compact width with added length for comfort.
Measuring 53” x 75”, a Double mattress sits between a twin and queen. It’s great for single adults who like extra room or for guest bedrooms.
A Queen mattress (60” x 80”) is Canada’s most popular choice. It balances comfort for couples with efficient use of space, making it the go-to size for most master bedrooms.
A King mattress (76” x 80”) offers more width, perfect if you share your bed with a partner, pets, or kids. Fun fact: in Canada, the king is wider but the California King is longer.
Measure your space. Leave at least 2 feet of clearance around the bed for easy movement.
Think about the future. Will this bed need to fit a growing teenager, a new partner, or a long-term upgrade?
