First off, all mattresses in the US are made to standard sizes. The main mattress sizes that can be found in today's market are Twin, Twin Long, Full, Full Long, Queen, King, and California King. Mattress manufacturers make them to standard specifications, so the same size of mattress should not very more than an inch or so from place to place. Make sure to know what kind of bed you have or are looking for before shopping.
A regular or Eastern king measures 76" x 80" and is essentially two twin long mattresses. This is how you get "Split King" adjustable beds. A California king is 4" longer but 4" narrower (72 x 84"). So basically, if you want width, go with a regular king, if you are tall and need length, go with a California King.
Queen size is 60" x 80" and is usually sufficient for couples. Queen is the most popular size in America right now.
Full size beds are also recommended for single people. They measure about 53-54" wide and 75" long. There is also a full XL size that is 54" x 80".
For a single person, a twin or twin long will often provide enough space. A twin measures about 75 inches long and about 39 inches wide, which will work for an average size person under 5'7" or so. Taller individuals will feel more comfortable with the Twin XL length, which is 80 inches. A twin XL is half of a regular king size bed.
Also, you can order specialty sizes (like RV queens, or any other sizes)from many companies as well. Foam mattresses, like latex or memory foam mattresses, are great with custom sizes. Even Sleep Number beds and other air mattresses are available in special sizes, like RV queens.
