Twin Beds

What Are Twin Beds?

Twin beds are the smallest standard bed size and are designed for one sleeper. Fitting mattresses that are 38" wide by 75" long, they are compact but comfortable, and are a popular choice for kids’ rooms, guest bedrooms, and apartments. The name “twin” comes from the fact that they’re often paired together in shared rooms, but these beds are equally functional on their own.

Types of Twin Beds

Coleman Furniture offers twin beds in a wide range of designs to fit your needs. Platform twin beds are sleek and modern, with a low-profile look that doesn’t require a box spring. If storage is a priority, storage twin beds come with built-in drawers or shelves to maximize space. For a dramatic, traditional look, canopy twin beds add height and elegance to the room. If you prefer a cozier feel, upholstered twin beds feature fabric headboards and padded details that are perfect for curling up with your favorite blanket.

Who Should Buy a Twin Bed?

Kids and teens are the most common users of twin beds, since they take up a small footprint but leave plenty of room to grow. They’re also a smart option for single adults living in apartments, studios, or bedrooms where space is limited. But twin beds aren’t just for children or singles. In guest rooms, twin beds can be placed in pairs to create flexible sleeping arrangements for visitors. Twin beds can also be used in vacation homes to add sleeping areas in shared spaces or compact bedrooms. If you are looking for a versatile option that can be a staple in any home, a twin bed option may be what you are seeking.
