How to Pick Mattresses, Bed Frames & Platform Beds

Personal Shopper

• Pick headboards first so you know the sizes necessary
  
• Some headboards come with side rails or a metal bedframe, so they don't need a platform or additional metal frame

Mattresses

• Select Mattresses - General or Mattresses - Grant as the class
  • Queen – for a couple
  • Full – adult(s) 18 or older
  • Twin - kids ages 2 and up
  • Twin Xl – same length as queen, good for tall kids or adults
    
  • Toddler Mattress – find them in the Children's Furniture item class if we have any.
    • These mattresses fit in a crib or a toddler bed
