Twin XL

Longer in length than a regular Twin-sized mattress, the Twin XL provides comfort and support that's ideal for dorm rooms, a split-King setup, or tall people.

Why You Should Buy a Twin XL Mattress

Twin XL mattresses are commonly chosen by those who desire extra legroom compared to a standard twin bed. With the same width as a twin, a twin XL mattress provides an additional 5 inches in length, measuring approximately 38" wide by 79.5" long, give or take a ½ an inch. This extended length makes it a suitable option for taller individuals or those who prefer more sleeping space to stretch out. Twin XL beds are frequently found in college dorm rooms as they offer a comfortable solution for students without taking up too much of the room space. They are also used in split king setups. Serta offers a variety of twin XL mattresses, including memory foam, mattress in a box, hybrid and innerspring options, ensuring that you can find the perfect Serta twin XL mattress to match your comfortability and needs.


Twin XL Frequently Asked Questions:


What size is a twin XL mattress?

Approx. Size: 38” x 79.5” / 3,021 sq in / 21 sq ft

Twin XL sizes are approximately 38” wide by 79.5” long, give or take a ½ an inch, which equates to approximately 3,021 sq inches and 21 sq feet.


What's the size difference between twin xl and twin sizes?

A twin is the same width but approximately 5 inches shorter than a twin XL.


Can two twin XL mattresses be used to create the same size as a queen or king mattress?

Yes, two twin XL mattresses placed side by side will create the same size as a king mattress. Also, two twin XLs make a split king.


What is a split king?

A split king bed is composed of two twin XL mattresses placed side by side on a single bed frame. While it has the same dimensions as a regular king, measuring 76 inches wide by 79.5 inches (give or take a ½ inch) long, the key difference is that it consists of two completely separate mattresses instead of one. This allows for customization and comfort preferences for each sleeper on their side of the bed.


Can a twin XL mattress fit on a twin-sized bed frame?

No, due to the slight difference in length, a twin XL mattress is not compatible with a standard twin bed frame as it will be too long.


Is twin XL the same size as a full bed?

No. A full size mattress is 15 inches wider and a twin XL is longer by 5 inches.

Financing is available directly through our website. We have partnered with Affirm to offer financing or pay-over-time options for our customers. At checkout, you will be given the option to pay through Affirm. If approved, you will be given loan options for 3, 6, or 12 months. All interest is provided up front, there are no hidden fees, and only a soft credit check is done through Affirm's system for approval.

Affirm only requests a soft credit check for approval, so the credit inquiry won’t affect your credit score. Once you've selected your financing term, you will be redirected back to the website to complete your purchase.
