How Big Is a Full Bed?

A standard full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide by 75 inches long (4 feet 6 inches by 6 feet 3 inches). It’s a common choice for solo sleepers who want more space than a twin, or for guest rooms and teens transitioning to larger beds. Below is a breakdown of full bed dimensions and how it compares to other sizes.

Measurement Tip

To fit a full bed properly:

  • Measure your available floor space beforehand.
  • Allow 2–3 feet of clearance on each side for ease of movement.
  • Consider frame and bedding thickness when calculating room fit.

The recommended minimum room size for a full bed is 9 feet by 9.5 feet, allowing enough space for nightstands and walking clearance around the bed.
