A twin is made for one person and a double is made for two. A double is the same as a full...just different name. A twin is also known as a single (twin=single, full=double). I think they should have just stuck with a single and double...much easier to keep straight. A twin is for one person, really? How confusing!

As a side note, 2 Twin/Single XL's (4 inches longer) are equivalent to a King.
