Is a queen-size mattress right for you?

Is a queen-size mattress right for you?

With over 50% of Australians reporting that they sleep on a queen bed, it's clear that this mattress size holds a special place in our hearts. But what makes it so popular? Let's dive in to explore some of its notable benefits to uncover why it’s our go-to bed size.

The benefits

Designed to suit a range of environments and sleeping arrangements, the queen bed is a great choice for couples. Its generous size allows two people to stretch out and enjoy uninterrupted sleep, promoting deeper rest and minimising partner disturbance.

Single sleepers can also benefit from the extra space a queen-size bed offers. Taller individuals, in particular, will appreciate the 160 mm of additional length compared to a double bed. So if you're looking to upgrade from a single or double size, a queen mattress with its added length could be the perfect fit.

For those moving out of home for the first time, a queen mattress is a solid choice. Perfectly sized for most spaces, they’re versatile enough to be carried through multiple moves and life stages. 

Queen mattresses are also a popular choice for guest rooms. With ample room and comfort, they’re great for providing a welcoming space for visitors. Plus, their dimensions are well-suited to average-sized bedrooms and guest rooms.

Queen-size bed dimensions

Measuring 1,530mm wide and 2,030mm long, the queen mattress strikes the perfect balance between bed space and room capacity, allowing for bedside tables and ample movement space in the bedroom. While not as large as a king, it's a premium choice for those whose bedrooms cannot accommodate a larger mattress. 

Take a look at the table below to see how it compares to other common mattress sizes.

Mattress size mm cm inches
Single 915 x 1,880 mm 91.5 x 188 cm 3'0" x 6'2"
Double 1,370 x 1,880 mm 137 x 188 cm 4'5" x 6'2"
Queen 1,530 x 2,030 mm 153 x 203 cm 5'0" x 6'7"
King 1,830 x 2,030 mm 183 x 203 cm 6'0" x 6'7"

The perfect size 

When it comes to choosing a mattress, size is important. A bed that’s too big may simply not fit into the space you have available, and a bed that’s too small won’t be comfortable. If you’re not sure what size mattress to get, a queen is probably your safest bet. They fit comfortably into most rooms and are long enough to suit even the tallest sleepers, making them just right.

But if you do have the space, a king bed is well worth considering. The added room can make a big difference in comfort, especially for couples, and brings a touch of luxury to your sleep each night.

Find your feel

It’s important to ensure your mattress is suited to your sleeping position. Plush mattresses are designed to support high-pressure areas for side sleepers such as your hips and shoulders. On the other hand, firm mattresses gently conform to the curves of your body, ensuring spine alignment for back and stomach sleepers.  

With so many options it can be an overwhelming choice, but at Bedshed we’ve streamlined the process with our Mattress Selector Tool. Simply answer a handful of questions and we’ll find your perfect fit.
