A full-sized mattress is an excellent choice for those who sleep alone but want more space than a twin mattress can provide. Full-size bed dimensions can accommodate two people while still being compact, making a full mattress ideal for smaller bedrooms. It's also one of the most affordable mattress sizes, so it's a great option if you're on a budget and debating full vs. queen size.

Since it's smaller than a queen mattress or king mattress, a full mattress is simpler to move into your home. You can fit it more easily through tight spaces like stairways and doorways. And it leaves you more space in your room to fit other furniture. Plus, you’ll find that additional purchases, like a full-size bedframe, bedding and a mattress cover, are also more budget-friendly in the full-size option.

With a full-size mattress, you’ll leave yourself more space and money for designing the bedroom you like with the furniture and accessories you want.

When it comes to choosing the best mattress for you, the most important factors are firmness, weight limit and material. Firm mattresses are good for back and stomach sleepers, while side sleepers will usually benefit from a medium/soft mattress. The weight limit on a mattress also dictates how the mattress responds to your body.

In terms of material, memory foam mattresses are great for side-sleepers who need extra support, but memory foam can run hotter than other materials. Look for a mattress with cooling technology if you run hot in your sleep.

Getting the right mattress for you is an excellent way to get yourself started on deeper and healthier sleep, but don’t stop there. Practicing good sleep hygiene can also make a world of difference in terms of how well you sleep through the night.
