Question:

Longer than normal twin bed?

I have a twin bed buts its longer than my other twin beds! Is there a certain name for these or are they still called twin. Anyone know?

Answer:

They are probably what they call California twins. They are a little bigger than your normal twin bed. I have a California King and it is wider and longer than a standard king. Hope this answers your question.
They are called twin extra longs and measure 38 x 80 or 5 longer than a twin.
I recently learned about these as my oldest son went off to college. They are called Extra Long Twins. There are specific sheets and bedding for them under the same name. The bedding is easier to find at back to school time as most college dorm rooms have these. I had great luck at Bed, Bath Beyond and Linens N Things.
