Full Size Mattresses

At Slumberland, we know how important a good mattress can be. That’s why we offer a large selection of full-size mattresses in various types, comfort levels, brand names, and price points.

Full-size mattresses, also known as double beds, are great for adults and children. Contrary to popular belief, this size mattress is not designed to sleep two people. Instead, a full mattress set is best for a single adult, a single person with pets, or someone who’s short on bedroom space.

Full mattresses are available in a range of back support, comfort rating, and construction types, including memory foam, gel foam, wrapped innerspring, coils, and hybrids. You can even get a full mattress conveniently packaged in a box.

No matter the reason you’re in the market for a full, Slumberland Furniture has the mattress you’ll love for less.

Dimensions

Beds have evolved over the years, and mattress sizes have fluctuated. A full-size mattress is generally 54’ wide and 75’ long, although the dimensions can vary by model and brand.

This size bed gives a solo sleeper ample space to stretch out, and they fit comfortably in small bedrooms, making them great for teens, dorm rooms, small apartments, or older homes with small bedrooms. It fits nicely in most rooms without making the space feel crowded or taking up too much of the limited floor space in smaller rooms. In addition, a full mattress gives you more flexibility in creating a luxurious and stylish bedroom when space is limited.

A full-size mattress set fits in just about any size room, as long as the room measures at least 9 feet by 9.5 feet. There will be plenty of room for the bed as well as room to fit in a dresser and bedside tables and still be able to move around with ease.

When purchasing a full mattress, be sure to measure your bedroom before you head out on your buying trip. Although a full mattress fits in almost any space, measuring your space will let you know for sure that a full-size mattress will fit without making the room feel small and cramped.

Take stock of how much furniture will be in the room, such as dressers, desks, bookshelves, bedside tables, and chairs. As a general rule, keep about 3 feet of space around the bed. This not only gives you enough room to move around but keeps the room from looking crowded. In addition, it is easy to find the perfect bedding, including sheets, pillows, comforters, duvets, mattress protectors, and more.

Full Mattress Features & Sets

Once you’ve measured and determined that a full-size mattress is right for you, we suggest also getting a new box spring or foundation at the same time you purchase a new mattress. This is because mattresses come with a warranty, but in order for the warranty to be valid, the mattress must have proper support. A box spring, adjustable base, or platform bed will provide the needed support.

A full-size mattress set with a foundation or box spring ensures the mattress sits upright, evenly distributes your weight to prevent sagging, and may improve airflow to keep you from overheating as you sleep. These sets come in standard sizes or low profile measurements, depending on your preference. Slumberland carries mattress foundations from the industry’s top manufacturers, including Tempur-Pedic, Sealy, Sealy Youth, Stearns & Foster, and more.

In addition to our wide variety selection of box springs or foundations, you can find bed frames and adjustable bases to fit your full mattress and complement your décor, if that is your preference. Slumberland carries a wide selection of full-size metal bases, modern platform bases, and more. If you prefer a platform bed with a low, minimalist profile perfect for smaller spaces, you’ll find plenty of those as well.

Consider an adjustable base for your full mattress if you like to read, watch TV, or snack in bed. They are also ideal if you are dealing with health issues or back pain. They allow you to raise or lower your upper or lower body by remote control. This helps ease back pain by keeping weight off the back.

Features To Consider

Taking the time to consider your preferences and priorities can help make sure you are satisfied with the full-size mattress you choose. These considerations can help you identify which features are best for you. Different types of mattresses are better for different sleeping positions so take this into consideration.

Construction types – there are three main mattress construction types – inner spring, memory foam and hybrid – each with its own pros and cons.

Pressure relief – refers to the area of the body where you feel the most pressure. Your sleep position – side, back, stomach – will determine where and how much pressure relief you need from your mattress.

Contouring – refers to how much a mattress conforms to the shape of your body. The ideal contouring mattress will offer the perfect balance of cradling and support.

Density and firmness – softer mattresses are plusher and allow your body to sink deeper into the mattress. A firm mattress offers more support and less contouring. Those seeking a firm mattress can choose from medium firm and extra firm options.

Temperature regulation – some mattresses are made with materials that help regulate body temperature and offer a cooler sleep environment.

There is a lot to consider when choosing a mattress. At Slumberland, we offer a 120-Night Comfort Guarantee on all mattresses purchased with a mattress protector. This gives you a chance to try out the mattress and see if it works for you.

Buying an excellent full mattress can be the difference between a restful night of sleep and a night spent tossing and turning. Slumberland Furniture’s assortment of full-size beds is perfect for your evening respite.

Getting Better Sleep

One of the keys to getting good sleep at night is to have a comfortable and relaxing place to sleep. The importance of a good mattress cannot be understated. However, other factors affect your sleep quality. For example, are you consuming a lot of caffeine even a few hours before bed? That can certainly disturb your sleep patterns. Additionally, sleeping in a room with the T.V. on can disrupt your sleep severely. A good way to ensure quality sleep is to sleep in an entirely dark, somewhat cold room with no electronics or external noise inside.

Make sure not to drink any caffeinated beverage for at least four hours beforehand and make sure not to eat for at least two hours beforehand, as the process of digestion can also disturb nighttime sleep. An essential part of getting quality sleep is having a sleep schedule. This means going to bed at the same time every night and waking up roughly the same time every morning. Once you are avoiding caffeinated beverages or eating for the appropriate amount of time before bed, are going to bed at the same time every night, and are sleeping in a dark, cold noiseless room, the only thing left to improve is your mattress.

The Importance of a Good Mattress

A good mattress can be the difference between waking up unrested with back pain and sleeping like a baby. A full-size mattress from Slumberland is the perfect size mattress for a single person to sleep in with plenty of room. Shop our mattresses from large national brands such as Stearns & Foster and Tempur-Pedic. The importance of a high-quality mattress is that comfort while sleeping can affect the depth of sleep you get to. Ideally, you want to spend several hours in deep REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. This is impossible if you are uncomfortable with the surface you are sleeping on. If you are horribly uncomfortable with the mattress you are sleeping on, then even if you are able to sleep, your sleep will be low-quality and not REM deep sleep. A lack of sleep quality can lead to problems with restfulness during the day, and long-term sleep deprivation is associated with a higher incidence of Alzheimer’s disease, so be certain your mattress is comfortable enough for you to get deep, high-quality, good night's sleep.

Other Sleep Quality Factors

A few other factors that contribute to sleep quality are the quantity of light in the room as well as the noise level. If you don’t have black-out curtains or if the amount of light that gets into your bedroom is uncomfortable, you can wear a sleep mask as a solution. Also, if you absolutely cannot sleep in total silence, then you can play some white noise, which naturally blocks out other noise sources and is soothing for sleep.
