XLT

XLT, a term derived from "Extra Long Twin," typically refers to a mattress or bed size. It is essentially an Extra Long Twin mattress that is longer than a standard Twin mattress, measuring approximately 38 inches wide by 80 inches long. This increased length makes XLT mattresses suitable for taller individuals who might find a standard Twin mattress too short for comfortable sleeping. XLT bedding is often found in college dorm rooms, especially for students living in larger dorms or seeking a more accommodating sleep space. While less common than standard Twin sizes, XLT mattresses and bedding are available from various bedding retailers. The extra four inches in length compared to a standard Twin can significantly improve comfort for taller sleepers, preventing their feet from hanging off the end of the bed.
