We built our daughter a cabin bed from the Ana White websit. Plans were for a twin size mattress and we converted the width to accomodate a full size mattress. After completing the Cabin bed and installing the full size mattress is when we discovered that the plans have an error in the length of the the cabin bed. Plans call for 71 inches in length when 75 inch lengths are what all mattresses come in unless you are getting an oversize one which measures 80 inches in length. The good thing is we purchased a 9 inch memory foam mattress which compressed enough in lenght to fit.
