What is a Full-Size Mattress?

A full mattress has two parts. The bottom is called a box spring. This is the what sits on a bed frame. The top mattress is the area where you sleep. Buy the two items together and you've got what's called a full size mattress set or box spring set for short.

Full-size mattresses come in a variety of types such as a soft, medium or firm mattress.  And because every person has different sleep needs, there are even medium firm mattresses.  Some memory foam mattresses are so firm that no box spring is required, simply place the mattress on a platform bed and enjoy its low profile in the bedroom. 

Mattress Size - How Big Is A Full-Size Mattress?

The standard dimensions of a full-size mattress are approximately 54 inches wide by 74 inches long, also known as a double bed, which does not vary. But mattresses do vary in terms of depth. In the past, the standard depth of a full mattress was around 10 inches. Today, that number can go up to 20 inches. These extra-thick mattresses do require special sheets and mattress pads, so be sure you know what size you are getting.

Mattress Type

Full-size mattresses come in many styles. From traditional innerspring coil mattresses and memory foam to latex and all-natural options. Innerspring mattresses have been around the longest and continue to provide comfortable support at an affordable cost. Memory foam offers support without causing pressure points and can help keep you cooler -- its increased airflow makes it more breathable. Full-size bed mattresses made of natural latex are gaining in popularity due to their breathability and gentle support.  Hybrid mattresses, which combine memory foam, gel, latex with an innerspring system are another popular item.  Full size mattresses are great for teens, guest rooms and are one of the most important pieces of bedroom furniture you'll buy.

Sam's Club offers selections from many reputable brands of furniture. One of the most recognized brands in the mattress industry is Serta, and we offer best sellers with exceptional quality and warranties.

Other Options

Regardless of what your full mattress is made of, the cushioning on top can make or break a good night's sleep. A pillow top refers to a super soft layer sewn on top of a firm mattress. It looks like an extra layer. A Euro pillow top has the extra layer but is sewn on to look like one cohesive piece. These toppers provide a luxurious and plush sleeping surface.
