86x54 full?

Your mattress should tell you what size it is. You then go to the store and the linens are sorted by mattress size (Twin, Full, Queen, King).

its for my dorm, so no way for me to go to the mattress, and i want to buy this beforehand so i can actually sleep.

i have no idea how to measure size and etc the only thing it told me was 86 x 54 FULL SIZE

Then it is a full size mattress. When you go to the store find the linen that says full on it.

i mean it says full but is the length correct. supposedly our school dorm beds are extra long, but not sure about mine since i live in a apartment/dorm.

is the normal size for full 86 x 54?

yeh. it will say Full Mattress 86x54 on the package.

Actually no. The normal size is around 74, but the package will say it. You'll be ok.

okay... so would the package still be considered full or something?

All your sizes will be on the package. Usually you deal with normal or average size mattresses. In your case it is a little longer. You may have to find a linen shop that has more of a selection then your local department store. If that doesn't work try to find a full size linen that is "stretchy". I can't describe it any more. When I used to work as a nurses aid we had linen that would stretch for our larger beds.

strechy? okay, so itll say stretchy on the linen package also? lol fuuuuuuuuuu wish me luck... i might have to go to that anne linen store or w-e that was advertised on tv while back
