Mine has a round king size bed that spins and has a disco ball over it , yeah baby.......
In truth most are extra long twins, some have full size , like some Pete 387's , wider would be nicer . I have a Frtlner Columbia 70 inch mid roof XT. it has a extra long twin bed.I am 6' 4' and have no problem with length
How big are the beds in trucks

Ah nothing wrong with that Ron!!LOL
American only truck crazy girl, cause nothing else will do!!!!!!! -
My Western Star has a 85X44 inch mattress in it.

I'm drivin' a 2005 Pete 379. Standard twin mattress, with an additional 6" or so of space at the foot end. In any event, no problem for my 6'6"
I will say that the upper bunk in a 387 seemed a bit short... I typically slept diagonally, there.
So - LENGTH and WIDTH aren't really a problem... but the quality of the mattress may be. In my previous truck,the mattress had seen...um.. some use. It was kinda bumpy what with the springs sticking up through the lining and all. Once I figgered out where they were, though,it wasn't hard to sleep around them.
This truck... new mattress. No problem. I sleep like a rock.
A loud, snoring rock,but a rock. -
Look at the truck. Usually if the sleeper flairs out past the cab it's not bad as long as the extra width isn't filled with cabinets or drawers. I'm 6'-5" & don't have much problems, I usually sleep laying from one corner to the opposite corner.
I once had a CH Mack that I had to almost crawl through the hole to get into the bunk but the sleeper was wide enough. I've had several 610 Volvos that were misirable (the bunk is no wider then the cab). -
Our F/L bed fits me, hubby, and the pup at the foot of the bed. Very Cozy!

I used to be 6'2", but due to getting old, I believe I've shrunk 2 inches.
Never had a problem getting comfortable in any of the sleepers I've been in. Freightliner, Volvo, or Mack. All the mattresses used twin size sheets.
Haven't been lucky enough to be in a truck with a KING size bed.

Thanks a lot. I was worried about that.

Thanks for asking this question, I too am over 6' tall and this is something that I have been concerned about.
