What Size Mattress Can Fit in Truck Bed?

When you’re looking to purchase a mattress, it can be difficult to know what size will fit in your truck bed. Depending on the make and model of your truck, there are various sizes of mattresses that can fit in the back. It’s important to measure your truck before you buy a mattress so you can ensure it fits properly.

The most common size for a truck bed is 6 feet by 4.5 feet, although some are smaller or larger. Generally speaking, any twin-sized mattress should fit in the bed of a 6-foot by 4.5-foot truck with room to spare. A full-sized mattress can also fit but will likely require some maneuvering and may take up more space than a twin.

If you have a smaller truck bed, such as 5 feet by 4 feet, then a twin mattress is likely your best option. Whilst full-sized mattresses will fit in this size of bed with some maneuvering, they often don’t leave much extra room for storage or other items.

For larger beds like 7 feet by 5 feet or 8 feet by 6 feet, there are many options available. You could opt for a queen-sized or king-sized mattress if you have plenty of extra room in your truck bed or would like to maximize sleeping space. Alternatively, two twin mattresses may be an ideal choice as this allows for more flexibility when it comes to sleeping arrangements.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, when selecting the perfect size mattress for your truck bed it’s important to consider the make and model of your vehicle as well as how much extra space you need for other items. For average sized beds (6 by 4.5 ft.), twins are usually the best option whilst larger beds (7 by 5 ft., 8 by 6 ft.) could accommodate a queen or king size with some additional maneuvering depending on what else needs to be stored in the truck bed.
