我记得当时我去买床垫的时候那人告诉我一般有三种: twin(single), queen, king. 不过记不太清了, 如果是一个人睡的话我觉得准备twin的就可以了, 也就是单人床的, 但是美国床的结构一般是最底下是一个structure, 也就是支架一样的东东, 然后上面是box, 最上面是mattress. box和 mattress差不多一样厚, 为了好看点, 最好是宽一点, 这样的话可以足够遮住mattress和 box...
下面是我从Google搜到的关于美国床size的文章(足够齐全, 但是挺长的, 各位就算自己看一下吧...):
The bed sizes available in the United States are Twin, Single, Double, Full, Queen, King, California King, Western King, Eastern King.
How in the world is anyone supposed to know the difference between all the bed sizes
on the market today? Even the sales person in your local department
store bed department might not really have all the facts. It can be
very confusing!
And if you think you're sure that a King is larger than a Queen
(doesn't that make sense!) you might not know just how much larger.
What exactly is the difference between the different sizes of beds available?
We're going to help you understand the sizes of beds on the market and how to decide which one is right for your needs.
Note: Some manufacturers are custom-cutting beds larger or smaller than "standard" sizes.
But beware! While it may seem intriguing to have a "custom size" bed, you may have trouble finding bedding to fit.
Read on to get details on Twin, Single, and Extra-Long Twin Beds.
- Twin beds are also known as single
beds. They're the most common choice for children's rooms or multi-use
guest rooms. These beds are narrow and fit easily into the smallest
bedroom. Often twin beds have a "trundle" underneath to accommodate a
sleep-over or second guest. Twin beds are used for bunk beds too.
- Overall dimensions: 39" wide x 75" long"
- Width per person: 39"
- Pros: Because of its small size it will fit easily into
smaller bedrooms. Twin sheets are the least costly of all sheet sizes
and are available in lots of patterns. It's easy to make a twin bed.
- Cons: A standard size is too short for many adults.
- Twin Extra Long beds are 5" longer than a standard twin. They're often used in college dorm rooms to accommodate tall teens.
- Overall dimensions: 39" wide x 80" long
- Width per person: 39"
- Pros: The longer length is good for taller teens and
adults. It's easy to make, since it's narrow. If you need flexibility
in a guest room, two extra long twins are a good choice. They can be
used as singles or pushed together to form a king size bed.
- Cons: Bedding is difficult to find and not available in every pattern.
Note: What is "standard" is occasionally changed by some
manufacturers. Before you go shopping for bedding, be sure to know the
exact measurements of the bed you have purchased. Some "standard"
fitted sheets may not fit.
Compare Queen vs. King
Are you thinking about a Double, a Full, or a Queen size bed?
Any of these sizes fit in a normal room, but many couples feel that
a Full or Double bed (they're the same thing) is definitely too narrow
for anything more than an occasional night's sleep. A Queen size bed
gives each one a bit more room without taking up too much more floor
space.
Here are the basic differences between a Full bed and a Queen:
- Double or Full beds are 15" wider than a Twin, but if two share the bed, each has only 27" of personal space, much less than a twin!
- A Queen bed is 6" wider than a Double bed, allowing more room for each person, but still 9" less than a twin bed.
Now the facts on Double, Full, and Queen Beds.
- Double beds (also known as Full) were the
most common for two to sleep in until the 1960's. They're only 15"
wider than a Single bed, leaving only 27" of sleep space for each of
two adults. At 75" long, a Full size bed may be too short for some
taller adults.
- Overall dimensions: 54" wide x 75" long
- Width per person: 27"
- Pros: Fits into smaller rooms. Might be just right for
a single sleeper who is under 5'5" tall. Sheets are less expensive than
queen or king size.
- Cons: Many people find a Double bed too narrow for 2 adults and too short as well.
Queen size beds are 21" wider and 5" longer than a
Twin bed and 6" wider and 5" longer than a Double size bed. Though this
extra width and length can make all the difference in getting a good
night's sleep, each adult still has 9" less of width than if they each
slept in a twin bed. A Queen bed works well for guest rooms and small
master bedrooms and is a good choice for couples who like to snuggle.
- Overall dimensions:60" wide x 80" long
- Width per person: 30"
- Pros: Gives 2 adults more space than a double. The
extra length (5") works well for most adults. Sheets and blankets are
easy to find and cost less than king bedding.
- Cons: With only 30" of personal space for each person
(only 3" more than a Double), a Queen may be too narrow for everyday
sleeping for a couple. Some bedding is sold as "Full/Queen" and doesn't
really fit either full or queen perfectly. Check bedding dimensions to
be sure that it will fit comfortably. Standard size pillows or queen
pillows work well.
Note: You might find a slightly larger Queen size bed called an
"Olympic Queen". Beware before you buy bedding: Standard Queen sizes
may not fit correctly and you might need to cut down king-size bedding,
adding a considerable cost to your purchase.
CompareTwin vs. King
With two sizes of King beds and four names, it can get confusing when you go shopping for a King Size Bed.
A Standard King is also called an Eastern King and a California King is also called a Western King.
A Standard King is about 4" wider and a California King is 4" longer.
Two people sleeping in a King size bed will get the same amount of
personal sleeping space as in a Twin bed. In fact, if you pushed two
Extra-Long Twin beds together they'd be about the same size as an
Eastern King. For great versatility in a guest room, if you have the
floor space, use 2 extra long twin beds separately for singles or push
them together to make a king bed for couples.
When buying sheets, you have to be careful to purchase the
right size. Flat sheets will fit both sizes of King beds, but fitted
sheets are cut to fit one or the other. Before you go shopping for
sheets, be sure to measure your bed exactly to be sure to buy the
linens that will fit exactly.
- Standard King or Eastern King beds are about
16" wider than a Queen bed and the same length. A King size bed is sold
with two box springs or frames and one mattress. This makes it easier
to move.
- Overall dimensions: 76" wide x 80" long
- Width per person: 38"
- Pros: As the widest bed commonly available in
stores, the Standard King is the most comfortable for two adults. The
80" length is sufficient for most people. Sheets labeled "King Size"
fit a Standard King bed.
- Cons: Because of its size, a King bed may not be
practical for a single person who has to do the moving by himself.
They're hard to get upstairs, through narrow, winding hallways, and
small rooms. A King bed may not be long enough for very tall people.
Bedding is most expensive in the King sizes. The wide bed requires at
least 3 standard or 2 queen or king pillows, adding to the cost.
California King or Western King beds are 12"
wider than a Queen and 4" longer. This is the longest bed commonly
available in stores and is the best choice for tall people. Like the
Eastern King, the California King bed set comes with one mattress and
two half-width box springs to be more manageable when moving. Very tall
single people can sleep from corner to corner and still be comfortable.
- Overall dimensions: 72" wide x 84" long
- Width per person: 36"
- Pros: A California King size mattress is wide enough
for two to sleep comfortably and is the longest bed commonly available.
Its extra length is good for tall people.
- Cons: This very large mattress may be cumbersome to
move and may not fit up stairs, through narrow hallways, or in small
bedrooms. Like the Eastern King, the California King bed set comes with
one mattress and two half-width box springs to be more manageable when
moving. Very tall single people can sleep from corner to corner and
still be comfortable.
