Description
Here the full-size bed is drawn in plan view at 1:1, 80″ × 54″ (2032 × 1372 mm).
Both versions, inches and millimeters, are DWG files that open in AutoCAD 2000 or newer; insert either one at scale 1 and it lands at its real size. The file names say which is which: cadgrid-full-size-bed-plan-view_in.dwg for inches and cadgrid-full-size-bed-plan-view_mm.dwg for millimeters.
At 54″ wide, it is about the width of a US full mattress (54″ × 75″). A common rule of thumb leaves at least 24″ (610 mm) along the sides and foot of a bed, and 36″ (914 mm) where you can. In plan it sits next to a person seen from above, about 20″ (510 mm) across the shoulders.
