Queen Mattress - Your Guide To Understanding The Size and Dimensions of A Queen Size Mattress
Executive Summary By Mat Siltala

Here is a little more insight into a Queen Bed. When the time comes to choose a new mattress, size options are often a key concern. The most popular mattress size in the United States is the queen mattress. Exactly what is the size of a queen, though, and how does it compare to other mattress sizes?

What is the Size of a Queen Mattress?

Standard queen beds measure about 60 inches in twidh by 80 inches in length. For couples, this means nearly three feet of personal space in bed. A queen bed offers both singles and couples ample space in the bed, while not requiring the significant room space needed for a king mattress.

How Does a Queen Mattress Compare to Other Mattress Sizes?

Many people "upgrade" from a full mattress to a queen, while others are often left unsure of whether or not to invest in a king mattress or a queen mattress. In terms of sheer size, the queen mattress offers 30 square inches of additional space when compared to a full mattress. Many couples find a full mattress to be a bit too snug for two people, and opt for the added room of the queen size bed.

Compared to a standard king mattress, the queen sized mattress is the same length as a king. However, king mattresses are 16 inches wider than a queen. Because the size of queen bedding is standard - unlike other sizes, such as the extra-long twin or the California king - finding coverings and sheets for queen mattresses is usually quite easy.
