Can Two People Fit on a Full Size Bed?

Dimensions

• The full-size or double bed is 54 inches-by-75 inches. That means that each person has only 27 inches of sleeping room, which isn't a lot of space, especially for people with larger statures. The length is good for people who are less than 6 feet tall, depending on where you place your pillow, which is 20 inches wide.

Benefits

• Because full size beds are smaller than queen or king size beds, you can fit the mattress and box spring into a smaller room. If you have an upstairs bedroom, the mattress will maneuver up the stairs easier than a larger mattress, especially if you have a low ceiling or sharp turns in the stairs.

Bedding

• Bedding for the full size bed is cheaper than queen or king size bed sheets. Full size flat sheets are 80 inches-by-94 inches. The fitted sheets are 54 inches-by-75 inches and the standard pillow cases are 20 inches-by-30 inches. Comforters for a full size bed are 80 inches-by-90 inches, or you can use a full/queen comforter, which is 88 inches square.

Queen Size Beds

• Queen size beds are 60-inches-by-80 inches, which gives each person 30 inches of sleeping space. Queen beds are 5 inches longer than full size beds, to accommodate taller people. The bedding will cost a little more, but if you have a full/queen comforter, it'll fit the queen size bed.
