Which is bigger
Full XL is the larger by 6.7% in area. Both are 137.2 cm wide, and Full XL is 12.7 cm longer.
Which one to buy
Same width, 12.7 cm apart in length. This is a question about height, not about sharing: Full XL is the one to buy if anyone sleeping in it is over about 180 cm, and it buys no extra shoulder room at all.
Does the same bedding fit both?
No. 12.7 cm of length is far outside what a fitted sheet absorbs. Buy for the size you own and read the centimetres, not the label.
Space per person
Shared between two adults, Full gives each sleeper 69 cm and Full XL gives 69 cm. For comparison, a single bed is 90 cm wide, so anything under that is less room each than a single bed gives one person.
Room each one needs
With 60 cm to walk down each side and 60 cm at the foot: 257.2 × 250.5 cm for Full, 257.2 × 263.2 cm for Full XL — a difference of 0 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
