mine were $14.99 for two, the size was right on the box, but I never thought. They will do for kids if we ever get swamped!

Strange, I just bought an inflatable bed from CT for the same reason and my sheets fit fine. I bought the 39.99 foot pump built-in model.

Thanks for the replies, gals; the reason I ask is now that we have moved far from the relatives, I bought two inflatable air mattresses from Canadian Tire. They were $14.99 for the two of them, so I thought they would be good for more guests than the guest room can handle!

Anyway, they were advertised as single, and when I got them home, I blew one up, and it is far narrower than my twin beds. MY SHETS WON'T FIT!!!! :eek:

So now I have to start making sheets for them . . . . it never ends

I have a set of twin x-long beds. So far I haven't had a problem finding bedding or found the prices too high.

This is so true. No matter how cheap the bed is, forget it if it is an extra long one. The cost of sheets and blankets cost you more in the end and you have few choices.

Absolutely none. Both twin and single beds are 39" inches wide by 60" long.
