Many travelers have experienced this: when booking a hotel whether in Thailand or abroad you often come across familiar bed names but aren’t quite sure about their actual sizes. You might wonder whether the room is suitable for solo travelers, couples, or families, and whether the bed will be spacious and comfortable enough. Today, Maybis has the answers for you.
Twin beds in Thailand are often referred to as “single beds.” They are suitable for one person or can be used as a child’s bed. Sometimes when booking a room, you may see the term “Double Twin,” which simply means a room with two single (twin) beds.
A Twin XL is a size you may encounter more often when booking accommodation overseas. It has the same width as a standard Twin but comes with an extended length of 80 inches, making it ideal for taller guests.
(And here’s a little tip: if you want this size, IKEA actually sells it!)
In Thailand, Full Beds also known as Double Beds are not very common in hotels. They are suitable for one adult with one child, but may feel a bit cramped for two adults. This bed size is more commonly found in business hotels in Japan.
A Queen bed, commonly known in Thailand as a 5-foot bed, measures 150 cm in width and 198 cm in length.
It is an ideal size for medium-sized bedrooms, condominiums, dormitories, or apartments.
Nowadays, it is often one of the first choices for couples or anyone who needs a bed for two people. It is also suitable for individuals who sleep alone but tend to move a lot during the night or prefer extra sleeping space. A 5-foot bed offers plenty of room and even leaves space for body pillows or plush toys.
A 6-foot mattress (King size) measures 180 cm in width and 198 cm in length. It is the largest of the standard mattress sizes and is suitable for 2–3 sleepers, families with parents and a child, or even those who prefer sleeping with their pets.
A King-size bed is ideal for spacious bedrooms with plenty of surrounding area. Most importantly, this size offers ample room for turning while sleeping and eliminates the issue of feeling cramped next to your partner. It is truly a size that meets the needs of many.
The California King is similar in size to a standard King bed but slightly larger. In Thailand, people often refer to it as a 6-foot x 7-foot bed, although this size is not widely used and is rarely found in hotels across the country. It is primarily popular in the USA, while in Europe the largest common size is the Super King (approximately 5.9 ft x 6.5 ft).
A California King can comfortably accommodate 2–3 people, offering plenty of extra space. Importantly, the room itself must be spacious enough to accommodate such a large bed.
Conclusion
Choosing the right bed can significantly improve your sleep quality and support your long-term health. It is important to consider the size, mattress type, and suitability for your body to ensure the best rest possible.
