g'day Rileysam,
my feet started to hang off the end of a single bed as a teenager. my solution was to build a bench (length = bed width, height = bed base height, width about 300 mm or so) and put it at the foot of the bed. i then pushed the mattress down over the bench and packed up under the pillow with a block of foam. with the top end of the mattress in the non contact area between shoulder and head, the set up just felt like a normal bed.
these days, i just manage to fit for length on a queen size. if you have the space to spare in his bed room, i'd just go for a queen bed - he'll love the extra room and it will probably be easier to get linen.
