Field guide · Bedroom
Mattress sizes are standardized; bedrooms aren't. The frame adds inches, the doors swing, and the dresser drawers have to open. Here's the honest math, in inches.
| Size | Width × length | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | 38 × 75 | kids, bunks |
| Twin XL | 38 × 80 | dorm standard; two make a split king |
| Full / Double | 54 × 75 | one adult, honestly |
| Queen | 60 × 80 | the American default |
| King | 76 × 80 | as wide as two twin XLs |
| California King | 72 × 84 | narrower, longer |
The frame adds 2–5″ on each axis. A "queen bed" on a floor plan is not 60 × 80 — with a typical frame it's closer to 65 × 85, and a wingback headboard or a storage footboard adds more. Poché's bed stencils are mattress footprints with the frame noted; when you shop a real bed, the listing's outer frame dimensions are the numbers that matter.
Worked honestly: a king with frame is ≈80″ wide. A 12-foot wall is 144″. That leaves 64″ to split between the two sides — a comfortable 32″ each, if nothing else lives on those walls. Add a 20″-deep dresser on one side and its 36″ of standing room, and you're at 56″ committed — the bed must slide off-center, one side drops to the minimum, and the door swing decides whether it works at all. That's a lot of arithmetic for one corner of one room — which is why Poché just draws it on your plan and flags what pinches.
Upload the plan you already have, drop a queen with real frame dims into the actual bedroom, and see the clearance halos before the bed ships.
