Twin Bed

A child's room, if it's large enough, often has two twin beds.

Definition: A twin bed is the smallest size bed generally made for an adult. A twin bed is sometimes called a single bed.

A standard twin bed measures 39" wide x 75" long.

Because a twin bed is too short for some adults, an extra-long twin size bed is available at 39" wide x 80" long.

Also Known As: single size bed
