What Size Bed Should a 15-Year-Old Have?

When you’re looking for teenage boys room ideas, you might be left wondering what the right bed size is for this particular age.

It is common for teens to prefer a full mattress because it provides plenty of room to spread out yet doesn’t feel unduly spacious for a single person. Most teens can sleep peacefully on a twin mattress (even twin XL for taller teens) in a smaller bedroom. Full-sized mattresses aren’t needed by teenagers very often.
