Which is better between a Double Bed and Full-size Mattress?

Back in the years, there was only one standardised size of mattress available in the market. The 38x75 inches bed could only accompany a single person. It is popularly known as a single bed or as a twin bed. It was suitable for a single person, but what about couples?

There was a fashion of using two twin beds for the couples. In the 1900s, couples sleeping separately was not an issue. Later, when sleeping separate became a bad sign for a relationship, companies came up with the idea of a double bed and full-size mattress. Later in the 1950s, Queen Size and King Size were introduced when manufacturers felt double beds and full-size mattresses were not that suitable for two people.

Is there any difference between a double bed and a full-size mattress?

If you measure the dimensions of the double bed and full-size mattress, They will turn out to be the same, that is, 54x75 inches.

What is a double bed?

The Double Bed gives the impression that it is a pair of two twin beds. According to this interpretation, a double bed should be twice a single bed. But in reality, it has the same length as a single bed, is 75 inches but is less wide than two twin beds. It was an ideal option for couples. Later with time, companies realised it was not that comfortable to accommodate two people.

What is a full-size mattress?
