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 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.

I asked the same question and was told normal sheets--- it's true! Fitted sheets fit right on like a mattress, so if you order a full size T&N bed, use full sheets.

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

I would suggest you buy the base model from sleep number (the C2 or C3) and buy the frame from sleep number. For the frame I'd suggest the Flexfit 2 fro sleep number. My reasoning for both is below... There are some sacrifices to not buying the frame from sleep number. Air mattresses are light and don't like to bend. So Sleep Number and L&P patented a system that bolts the air mattress to the adjustable frame. L&P has some sort of exclusive agreement with Sleep Number to not sell the bolt down system to the public. Without bolting it down the mattresses move around lot, the bar at the end of the bed just doesn't cut it for securing an air mattress. We bought a sleep number mattress and this frame from this seller. This seller was great. Though we don't use all the features. The massage feature for example is really not worth it. That's why I'd suggest the Flexfit 2 over the Flexfit 3. We bought the C3 from sleep number and add toppers to customize it to our tastes. I added 2" of memory foam and a 2" bamboo mattress topper. My wife doesn't like memory foam and wanted a firmer feel so I just got her the 2" bamboo mattress topper. This saved us over $2,000 than buying the padding from sleep number. What is great about the sleep numbers is that the air mattress system (bladder and pump) is the same for all the models so it doesn't matter which one you buy. The only thing that is different is the amount of padding and a fancier remote. Let me know if you have any questions on what toppers to buy should you be interested. My wife and I have been sleeping like the dead for 6 months now and her chronic back problems have gone away.

Lana, the twin mattress I bought, fits just right on my old twin box spring. Perhaps someone else might have more information for you.

I used a Lucid 10" memory foam Twin XL on the top and a Lucid 8" memory foam regular Twin on the trundle. It fits just right. Probably anything thicker than 8" on the bottom would be too much.

Use twin size sheets but you may find that since the mattress is not as thick as a non-folding mattress, the fit will be loose. You can use corner elastic sheet guards to secure fitted sheets more snugly (available at dollars store retailers or on-line).

I just bought the 'bed bridge' and it works perfectly. Also, I bought the strap to hold the two mattress's together. Would do it again for sure. My new mattress cover is a high quality, don't skimp on this.

A queen mattress fits perfectly on the bottom and an extra long twin fits the top, however, a regular twin will work on the top as well, it just will not stretch all the way to the end.

I used an extra long twin on the top, tight fit. XL twin would not fit on bottom, I used a standard twin mattress on bottom, fit well. Top bed very sturdy I am sure foam would work.

I have the thick king bed and it barely fits. Most newer mattress are thick and don't waste your money...I used it once! You get what you paid for...

My preference is to go bigger. . .easier to put on and take off. Tight sheets on a bed is great but tight serves no purpose with bike covers. Go with the large plus one X. I have two in use on sickles and one on a trike. . .and love'm all N-R puts out a nice product especially for the $$$ involved. Peanuts!

I have made three different purchases of sheets in the past couple of months. I found the dimensions listed as being very helpful. First determine which size bed you are trying to fit. Regular, King or Queen. King Size and California King can be confusing. Next pocket depth is the most crucial dimension. You do not want them to be to tight. As for the top sheet size is not that big a deal. There maybe a problem with pillow sizes as well. Pillows size are go along with bed size. I hope this helps?

If I had a new pillow top mattress that sags, I would first go back to the retailer. They may replace it and save you money. As to your question, I am not sure. I bought ours for the camper with a low quality mattress and it is the most comfortable bed we own. When I buy another I will get the 3 inch one and put a pad on top before the bottom sheet. Hope this helps.
