Yes. 2 twins are the same size as 1 king.

edit: apparently not. :eek: You learn something new every day.

yeah it's for a tent I'm not sure if it will fit, but we have a queen for it and I fall off the side of it with my GF and daughter on it so I thought maybe a king would fit I'm hoping.

I think it's a 6 person tent the queen barly fits but I think if I had 2 twims I could turn them so that fit ok.

Thanks I wasn't sure if 2 twins would make the a king in legnth.

I thought two Extra-long twins made a king....otherwise you'll end up with a midget king.

wait, you're going camping in a TENT and you want to bring a matress???
I thought camping was about sleeping bags and the great outdoors.

I broke my back a couple years ago and need a matress.

i always wondered that myself.

Me and my wife use a Full. while on vacation we had a king and loved it. been thinking of getting a nice pillowtop king. we talked about a CA king but we really do not need a longer bed. we both are kinda short heh
