What Size Mattress Fits in the Bed of a Truck?

Whether you are moving a mattress, transporting it for a camping trip, or just need to take it from one place to another, you may wonder what size mattress fits in the bed of a truck. The answer depends on the size of your truck bed and the type of mattress you are trying to transport.

For full-size mattresses, the most common sizes are twin and queen. Twin mattresses measure 39 inches by 75 inches, while queen beds measure 60 inches by 80 inches. A full-size truck bed can typically accommodate either size mattress with ease.

If you have a mid-size truck bed, it is possible to fit either a twin or queen mattress into it depending on how much room you have left over after loading any other items into the bed. If there is not much room left over, then you may be better off opting for a twin size mattress as they are smaller and will take up less space.

If you have an extended cab truck with an extra-long bed, then your best bet would be to go with a king size mattress. King beds measure 76 inches by 80 inches and will likely fit comfortably in an extended cab truck bed without taking up too much space.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, what size mattress fits in the bed of a truck will depend on the type of mattress and size of your truck bed. For full-size beds, twin or queen mattresses will likely fit easily. If you have an extended cab truck then your best bet would be to go with a king size mattress as it is larger but still should fit comfortably in the extra-long bed without taking up too much space.
