Twin Size Beds

Twin beds—also known as a single bed—are designed with a narrower frame and are intended for one individual to sleep in. With a standard measurement of 38” x 75”, a twin bed is an ideal choice for kids, ranging from toddler to teenager. They are typically the next step when a child has outgrown their crib. Twin beds are also a popular choice for purchasing in pairs—either configuring them for double-occupancy guest rooms, for shared bedrooms, or for stacking together as a bunk bed.
