Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between twin and twin XL?
Twin is 38" × 75". Twin XL is 38" × 80"—5 inches longer, ideal for taller sleepers. Both use standard bedding, though XL sheets fit better on XL mattresses.
Do I need a box spring with a platform bed?
No. Platform beds have integrated support slats, eliminating the need for a box spring. This saves $100-200 and creates a cleaner look.
How much mattress support do I really need?
A quality mattress paired with proper frame support ensures 10+ years of comfort. Weak frames collapse, causing premature mattress wear and back pain.
Can I use a full-size mattress on a twin frame?
Not safely. Full mattresses (54" wide) extend 8 inches beyond a twin frame (38" wide), creating a fall hazard and improper support.
What's your return policy?
30-day full refund if you're not satisfied. We offer free delivery and setup for purchases over $400, and handle all logistics.
How do I know what firmness is right for me?
Side sleepers prefer softer mattresses for hip/shoulder support. Back sleepers need medium firmness. Stomach sleepers benefit from firmer support. Visit our showroom to test.
