Right now at Wayman Services Liquidation Centre we have a number of great options for twin XL mattresses in stock, all from the respected Serta and Beautyrest brands. We are able to offer high-quality beds at mattress sale prices every day of the year due to our long-standing relationship with the Serta Simmons Bedding factory here in Calgary. The factory operates on what is called “just time production,” meaning they produce and ship their products, but do not store anything on site. This lets us at Wayman purchase any stock that has been over-produced that other stores don’t have room for and then sell them to you at great prices.
What is a twin XL?
Twin XL mattresses are, not surprisingly, the most popular size for college dorm rooms. The reason is that they are five inches longer than a regular twin, at 80 inches (203 centimetres) long and 38 inches (96.5 centimetres) wide.
An twin XL bed is long enough for a sleeper over six feet tall as it leaves them about eight inches of extra wiggle room from top to bottom. A regular twin bed is only 75 inches long, leaving only three extra inches for a six-footer … barely enough for room between a head and a headboard. All queen- and king-sized beds are 80 inches long, as well, so a twin XL is simply the best choice for an adult.
Who benefits from a twin XL bed?
A twin-sized XL bed is a great option for older individuals. They take up less space, which allows more room for mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers and leave more space for caregivers to get around and reach individuals to properly provide care. The smaller width lets sleepers to roll over and get out of bed on either side more easily, which can be very helpful if there are injuries involved.
We’ve also noticed more and more couples interested in twin XL beds. As research has continuously shown, the right mattress can solve a lot of health problems, such as back pain, arthritis, and sleep apnea, and can help alleviate symptoms from allergies. As people’s mattress preferences are unique to the individual, many couples are opting for two twin XL beds. This allows them to still feel closeness with their partner, but also get the good night’s sleep they deserve.
Another option is to place two twin XL mattresses beside each other on a king-sized boxspring and frame, of which Wayman has plenty in stock as well. King-size mattresses measure 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. Placed side by side, two twin XL mattresses measure 76 inches wide.
Platform and adjustable bases for twin beds
Wayman has regular boxsprings and frames in stock for twin- and king-sized beds, and also twin XL platform bases, which eliminate the need for a boxspring, provide room for storage underneath, and allow for superior air circulation around the mattress. In addition, platform bases are often better for those with mobility issues, as they are lower, very sturdy, and provide both comfort and security. For added safety, rails can help eliminate the risk of falling out of bed.
Twin XL mattresses also work well with adjustable bases, the benefits of which are many. An adjustable base allows you to customize your sleeping position by moving the angle of the head and foot sections of your bed. This way, you find the most comfortable position for your body while also relieving pressure points and reducing discomfort. They are also very easy to use, with wireless remotes to make changes while you are comfortably tucked underneath the covers so there’s no getting out and back in.
Adjustable bases can also help in speeding up recovery time after an injury.
Two twin-sized mattresses together work well with a king-sized adjustable base, too. Lift your head and your feet then sit back for the ultimate movie night with your partner.
