This is what I'm NOT looking for?

Question

I am not looking for extra long twin sheets, bunk beds, mattresses, bedskirts, loft beds, frames, dorm stuff..........I'm looking for an extra long twin bed. Like as in headboard, footboard and rails. Ya know? like every other size mattress fits on? Why can't I find an extra long twin bed? I've searched the internet and only come up with the stuff I listed that I'm not looking for. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - anyone?

Answer 1

I'm in a family of tall people and what we've done is order an extra long twin bed through a furniture store.  There's never been a problem in doing that... one of my nephews is 6'11"!

Answer 2

I used to have an extra long twin bed with headboard, footboard, and rails that was from circa 1920 that I got for 40 bucks at an antique shop. It was in the Louis the fourteenth style (or one of the Louis' anyway) with caning on a wood frame and elaborate carving. Perhaps this size is less common now? Checking ebay or your local craigslist.org might be useful to see if there are any older models.  But if you really can't find what you like in the size for your mattress, you might consider getting a regular twin mattress at a discount store or even used.

i'm not sure I understand your question.  You say, "like every other mattress size fits on".

This doesn't make sense.  An extra long twin bed is only going to hold an extra long twin mattress.  Other sizes are not going to fit.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question.  Could you please clarify?  I might be able to help if I can figure out what you are asking.  Thanks.

I'm sorry I misunderstood.  Here's a couple of sites that have XL twins.  Maybe you'll see one you like.

One thing you might do is go to your local furniture stores and ask them about a special order.  They may not have any XL twins on the showroom floor, but they might be able to order some.

I hope that helps a little.  If I run across anything else, I'll post it.

Oh, and one more thing...I know you don't want bunk beds, but you can find several bunk beds that are XL twins but you don't have to stack them if you don't want to.  Most are made where you can stack them if you wish, but can use them as regular single beds too.
