Many apartment dwellers choose a full size mattress (also called a double) because it’s big enough to sleep comfortably, but doesn’t take up the whole room. Full-sized mattresses are also great for guest bedrooms. If you’re buying full size sheets, be sure that the fitted sheets are the correct size.

Full size sheets, also known as double size sheets, are suitable for full-size or double beds. This type of bed uses a full-size or double-size mattress which is a standard-sized bed that measures approximately 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. These sheets are wider than twin size sheets.
