They are cost-effective and long enough to last until the child has grown into an adult. It has the same dimensions as the UK Double mattress.

Truck Mattresses	The dimensions vary from 35'' x 79'' to 42'' x 80''.	Theys are commonly used for truck beds that double as campers. They may also be used in campers that have odd-sized beds.

King	72'' x 75'' to 72'' x 80'', depending on the width of your RV.	King beds are more common than you would think in campers.

As you can see, there are more mattress sizes than you would think for your RV. Before you buy any random mattress, you need to make sure that it is going to fit in your camper first. You can’t have it too thick for some campers because they won’t close, especially for pop up’s, and you can’t have them too close to the ceiling.

What are the bed sizes in college?

College dorms may have twin or extra-long twin beds (to accommodate taller students).

The measurements of an extra-long twin bed mattress are 39 inches wide by 80 inches long; and the measurements of a twin bed mattress are 39 inches wide by 75 inches long.

Before you search bedding, you should ask for information from your school by email or making a call to your dorm supervisor. You may also look this on their official page.

In most of the cases, you’ll be responsible for bringing your own bedding to the college, that includes sheets, pillows, pillowcases, blankets, and comforters.

As these beds are so uncomfortable, you’ll want to buy a mattress pad to more comfort as well as hygiene.
