A full-size bed is 4.5 feet wide, which gives single sleepers a lot of space to move around while they sleep. However, couples often find full mattresses too crowded for their liking and prefer other size options.

Fact

Glitter may have originated on a ranch.

According to local lore, a man by the name of Henry Ruschmann from Bernardsville, New Jersey, invented glitter by accident in 1934 while working on a cattle ranch. The New York Times reports that in the popular origin story, Ruschmann, a machinist, was trying to find a way to dispose of scrap material by crushing it into tiny pieces. Plastic went in, glitter came out, and the rest is commonly accepted as history.
