Twin Size Beds

A twin bed is a reliable choice for kids’ rooms, teens’ rooms, guest spaces, and smaller bedrooms where every inch counts. The Brick has to offer twin beds and twin bed frames in styles that keep the room functional—simple platforms, cozy upholstered looks, and storage-forward designs that help reduce clutter.

What is a twin bed size?

A standard twin mattress measures 39 inches wide by 75 inches long (about 99 cm by 190 cm). This compact footprint makes twin size beds a practical fit for narrower rooms, shared kids’ spaces, and multi-use rooms that also need space for play, studying, or storage.

How to place twin beds

Twin beds are easy to work into a layout, which is why they show up in so many homes—from first “big kid” bedrooms to spare rooms and cabins. To keep the space comfortable, plan clear walking paths and think through what you’ll need beside the bed (a nightstand, a lamp, charging space, or a small book ledge).

Kids’ rooms and growing needs

For kids, a twin bed frame with storage can pull double duty by giving you a spot for toys, extra blankets, or off-season clothing. If you’re setting up a younger child’s room, a twin bed with rails can add peace of mind while still leaving room to grow.

Guest rooms and small spaces

In a guest room, a simple twin bed frame keeps the room flexible—especially if the same space occasionally needs to function as an office. For very tight rooms, choosing a low twin bed frame can help the room feel more open.

Shared bedrooms

Two twin beds in one room are a classic solution for siblings and sleepovers. Matching frames and bedding can make the room feel cohesive, while separating beds with a shared nightstand keeps the layout practical.

What twin bed frames are available?

The right twin bed frame depends on who is using it and how the room functions day to day. The Brick has to offer options that range from minimalist frames to feature-rich designs made for storage and organization.

Twin platform beds

A twin platform bed keeps the look clean and streamlined, making it a strong choice for modern rooms and smaller spaces. Platform styles are also easy to style with simple bedding and a statement twin headboard if you want a more finished look.

Wooden twin bed frames

A wood twin bed frame brings warmth and character through grain and tone. Wooden frames suit everything from classic kids’ rooms to more grown-up guest spaces, and they pair easily with a wide range of décor.

Upholstered twin beds

An upholstered twin bed adds softness and texture, which can make a smaller room feel more inviting. If the bed is used for reading or lounging, a padded headboard can make the space feel more comfortable without adding extra furniture.

Twin beds with storage

A twin storage bed (often called a twin captain’s bed) builds function right into the footprint of the bed. Twin beds with storage drawers are especially helpful in kids’ rooms and small bedrooms, giving you an easy place to keep linens, games, or seasonal items neatly tucked away.

Twin XL and other configurations

If you need extra length, Twin XL is a popular upgrade because it keeps the narrow twin width but adds more legroom. Twin XL measures 39 inches wide by 80 inches long (about 99 cm by 203 cm). When shopping Twin XL bed frames, it’s important to match the frame size to the mattress size so the support and fit are right.
