If you are in the market for a twin sized mattress, then you need to consider getting an extra long model. Here's the top 5 reasons why.
5) Extra Length- A regular twin mattress is 39" wide and 75" long. The XL size is the same width but 80" long. That's 5 more inches of leg room!

4) Your kids are growing!- If you want to get the most out of that mattress, then going extra long will allow your children some room to grow.
3) Adult Sleepovers- These models are great for spare bedrooms that don't have so much vacant space. In all honesty, you'll probably only have a couple people sleep in your house over the course of, say, a year. So why not have the smallest bed possible, but with the most leg-room and comfort for the size?
2) Perfect for College- College kids don't want a tiny bed that has their feet hanging over the edge. These are long enough for comfort, but small enough to leave extra room in the college dorms. TIP: Make a bunk bed frame out of two by fours that lifts the bed up 4 or 5 feet from the ground. Now there is room underneath the bed for a desk or small couch.
1) Leave Room For the Other Stuff- Why get a large bed and waste all that space in a spare bedroom when you can just get an XL twin bed? Now you have a perfectly good bed for an adult and maximized space in the long term. If you absolutely have to have space for 2 people, then maybe a bed that rolls underneath the first bed is a good option.
