A twin bed is the perfect size for either one child or one adult. This size is very versatile because it is small enough for you save on space and costs, but it is not so small that most people can not sleep on them themselves. This makes them a perfect economical choice as well as a great one if you do not have a lot of space in your bed room.
Finding a twin bed is easy, as they are one of the most common sizes of beds, if not the most common. Any mattress specialty store will have at least a few models in stock, and some large department stores will have them as well. While you would not think they would be all that common because they are essentially the smallest of adult-sized beds, the fact that they are also a common size of childrens' beds factors into the fact that they are so common as well.
Twin Sized Mattress
Just because a twin bed is the smallest of adult bed sizes does not mean that they are all low quality. The fact that people use them at many age groups means that there is a large amount of variance in styles and quality.
There are of course inter-spring mattresses that are twin sized, and in some cases you can find memory foam mattresses that are in this size as well. Finding a memory foam bed in twin can be difficult, as it is usually used for Queen and above, but it is possible if you go to specialty memory foam retailers or check online. Whichever type you decide to purchase, you need to pay attention to the quality of the mattress itself to ensure that you or your child will get a good night sleep.
With inter-spring mattresses and beds, ensure that there is a high spring count. If the spring count is too low then the mattress will become concave faster, which would make it less comfortable in half the time. A high quality beds set will last you a long time, while those that are not only last you for a few years. With those that are made of memory foam, you need to pay attention to the foam density. The phone density should be at least 5 pounds per square inch in order to give you the best contouring and comfort. 7 pounds per square inch is the optimum density.
Just because a twin bed is a smaller size than what most people use doesn't mean that they have any less variations in quality than any other size of bed. There is plenty of variation within the twin size because of the fact that both children and adults alike use this size bed.
