Answer 1

Well, that doesn't sound right to me because I'm 5'9" and my feet hang off the end of a twin. However, I've done a little research and just about every site says 73-75" for a standard twin and 80" for a long twin. maybe I get longer when I stretch out. So, for your question, it appears to be true.
