Description
Here the twin bed is drawn in plan view at 1:1, 35⅜″ × 74¾″ (900 × 1900 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. Use cadgrid-twin-bed_in.dwg in drawings set up in inches and cadgrid-twin-bed_mm.dwg in drawings set up in millimeters.
Its 35⅜″ width is slightly narrower than a US twin mattress, 38″ × 75″. Plan at least 24″ (610 mm) of floor beside and at the foot of the bed; 36″ (914 mm) feels comfortable. In plan it sits next to a person seen from above, about 20″ (510 mm) across the shoulders.
