A twin bed, sometimes referred to as a single, measures 39" wide by 75" long. An extra long twin bed measures 39" wide by 80" long. The extra 5" is length is great for an adult or tall teen.

One twin mattress is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. One twin XL mattress is 39 inches wide and 80 inches long. A standard king size mattress is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. So technically two regular twin mattresses don't exactly equal a king size mattress because they are too short by 5 inches. Two extra long twin mattresses make a more accurately sized king size bed. In a pinch you could put them sideways and sleep across the king bed.
