I am buying a mattress for the top of this bed. I read somewhere that a TXL fits best. Does anyone else agree?

We recently purchased this bed and read the same thing. However, when I went to purchase a mattress, the regular twin was the only one that would fit (xl was a few inches too big). There is a little space on the end with the regular twin mattress, but now that the bedding is one it is not noticeable at all. Good luck we were very happy with our purchase!

I have a txl. It fits really tight so it is hard to tuck blankets in but since little one will sleep on it and I use it for sitting as well I like that it is snug. I have a regular twin for the trundle.

Yes, the twin XL mattress fits the top bed perfectly. And a regular twin is just fine for bottom.

I do not agree. I bought a regular twin mattress and it fits fine in my opinion. Its tough putting sheets on, can't imagine how much harder would be with a Xl mattress. Hope this helps.

Yes the TXL mattress fits perfectly on the top! We ordered one from Amazon and it is very comfy! Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L7QDK2/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes it will! I have a regular twin mattress and I have inches of space between the mattress and the footboard! I will eventually get a TXL!

TXL will fit, but if you already have a regular twin, that works fine, as well. If you have a very young child and are concerned about him/her getting wedged between the mattress and the bed, buy the TXL. Our daughter is 10, so we have no worries about that so our existing twin works fine. We use a bolster pillow at the top when she sleeps to cover the gap, but just so her regular pillow doesn't slide up there.

A TXL does fit the best for the top. A regular twin is best for the bottom.

I bought a queen for my full size mattress and it was way too big. I would say stick with the queen.

I'm currently using a full-sized mattress. I believe the makers say a queen fits too.

The best way to make sure is to measure the existing mattress (length x width x height) and find one that is close or the same size. The one I ordered was exceptional. My guests felt very comfortable.

Hi. I used regular Queen sized linens that I already had laying around. They work fine, but I'll probably purchase sheets that are for a deeper mattress for a better fit. The mattress expands a little after heavy use (but doesnt lose firmness), so i think sheets with a little room and eladtic would fit best (Target has nice sets by Threshold). I also bought an elastic dust ruffle to cover the bottom, so it looks like a real bed. Hope this helps!

I found twin size Serta mattress on sale & also another on a trundle underneath for sleepovers. Both work great.

I used regular twin bed size. The ones with the 18 inch pocket (from tip to elastic on the fitted bottom sheet) worked well and did not pop off the mattress. For comfort and bottom-up warmth, I used a foam egg crate-type topper and a padded matress pad on the bed under the fitted sweet. I love this bed for size, comfort and durability.

I bought a mattress cover (just a cheap one) at walmart just to save it from getting dirty. It worked well. Mine was a little padded and I think it help firm up the topper. I love it actually.

Is your mattress the correct size for this product? I use mine on his full size bed and don't have any issues with it. Make sure the product was put together correctly and if that doesn't work, return the product.

This one is for the short bed. Otherwise, yes. Best Top is a little better quality top than the Tonno Pro.

I bought the same mattress for both the trundle and the top. I bought the 8" mattress and it is really comfortable. If you have the measurements for the Twin XL I would be more than happy to measure it.

I have the king as well. Side-to-side it fits pretty well, but the foundation is a little longer than the mattress. Make sure you let it air out for a couple days. It's kind of amazing how long they take to fully expand. I Know they say in their literature that the sizes can vary, so take a tape measure after it and see what the dimensions are.

If you have a Queen size box spring, a Queen Size Mattress encasement will work just fine. No need to go up the extra size. I hope that answers your question. If I didn't understand it correctly, please let me know.

I bought a full-size cotton coil premium mattress for Overstock.com and it works great, fits perfectly, very comfortable, mattress is heavy though, weighs about 90 pounds and is thick. I would only stick with the full-size though, twin would be to small and queen would overhang off of frame, have had frame and mattress about 1 1/2 years and am very pleased with it.It is hard to put frame back into couch mode with mattress on it, be mindful about how heavy of a mattress you are going to get, for my mattress, I just pull it off and put back to couch mode. Good Luck

I have a normal mattress and it fits well but it doesn't like to stay on. I don't know if its the material of the sheets or the elastic isn't the best. I still love the sheets. I got the corner straps that help hold it to the bed.
