Queen Size Bed | What are the Queen Bed Dimensions?

The queen size mattress measures 60 inches by 80 inches. That is 6 inches wider and 5 inches longer than the double size mattress. The extra couple of inches makes a difference for those that enjoy more room to spread out or sleep with a partner. The queen size mattress is the most popular size for couples as it has enough space to sleep two people comfortably.

In the UK, there is no queen size mattress, and instead, their king size mattress is roughly the same size. The UK king size measures 60 inches by 78 inches, meaning that they have the same width as the American queen size, but are two inches shorter.

Queen Mattresses are currently the most popular bed size in the US, and our Queen Mattress Reviews as well as our guide to Queen Mattresses make it easy to see why. Queen size mattresses are also some of our most versatile sizes, allowing couples to sleep comfortably and still fit into a small bedroom. Whether you're single or sharing a bed with a partner, a queen is a mattress size that you won't outgrow in no time.

The popularity of queen mattresses has also increased the demand for queen-size bed frames. Most bedrooms can comfortably accommodate a queen mattress, and their popularity means there are accessories and linens to choose from. 

A queen-size bed provides enough space for individual sleepers to stretch out and sleep comfortably, and you can choose one that suits your needs, such as a king-size bed or queen-size bed. 

Built for couples, queen-size mattresses offer you extra sleeping space without consuming your bedroom like a king-size mattress, but they are often adopted by couples who do not have enough space for two or more people in the same bed. Two people fit into a queen size bed without having to reserve six feet of space for the king bed, and two people fit comfortably into one of the queen beds. 

Queens are ideal if you have a couple staying in a guest room because a full bed quickly feels too cozy.

A queen mattress size can measure up to 2 - 3 inches taller or smaller based on the vendor, depending on the fabric tick, and will typically all fit within a standard queen bed frame. 

King size beds are able to offer a tremendous upgrade when it comes to bedroom space and offers plenty of room for a couple who can share. Although they do not offer more legroom than a queen-size bed, the extra width will make a big difference in terms of comfort and should be the equivalent of two twin-size mattresses, they should provide significantly reduced movement, especially if you are an active sleeper. Although they do not offer more legroom than the queen-size sleepers, this extra length and width, as well as the addition of a king-size mattress, will still make a huge difference so if you can afford and have room for one, consider a King Size Mattress. 

Looking at the statistics, it is easy to see why choosing the right bed and mattress is an important decision. If you get the recommended amount of sleep per night, you will spend a third of your life in bed.
