Which one to buy
A trade rather than an upgrade: Full is 40.6 cm wider, Twin XL is 12.7 cm longer. Width if two people share it, length if one of them is tall — you cannot have both without leaving this pair.
Does the same bedding fit both?
No. 40.6 cm of width and 12.7 cm of length are far outside what a fitted sheet absorbs. Buy for the size you own and read the centimetres, not the label.
Room each one needs
With 60 cm to walk down each side and 60 cm at the foot: 216.5 × 263.2 cm for Twin XL, 257.2 × 250.5 cm for Full — a difference of 40.6 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
