Queen Bed Size & Dimensions Guide

Queen mattresses dimensions are typically 60 inches wide by 80 inches long or 152 cm wide by 203 cm long. However, you should check with the manufacturer as queen bed dimensions can vary slightly. For more information on mattress sizes, check out our Mattress Size Guide and shop queen mattresses.

A queen bed fits comfortably in a room that is at least 10 feet by 10 feet, though 10 by 12 feet or larger gives you more space to move around. With queen bed dimensions of 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, you'll want to leave at least 24 inches of clearance on the sides and foot of the bed for comfortable movement. If your room is smaller, a double mattress at 54 inches by 75 inches may be a better fit.

The main difference between a queen bed size and a double bed size comes down to width and overall sleeping space. Queen size mattress dimensions are typically 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, while a double mattress, also known as a full size mattress or double bed mattress, measures about 53 inches wide by 75 inches long. That extra width and length makes a queen mattress a better choice for couples or anyone who wants more room to stretch out. In contrast, a double mattress is more compact, making it ideal for solo sleepers or smaller bedrooms. If you’re deciding between the two, consider your space and budget, especially when comparing options during a double mattress sale or queen mattress sale in Canada.

A queen mattress requires a bed frame built specifically for queen size dimensions (60 inches wide by 80 inches long). Using a frame that's too large will leave gaps between the mattress and the frame, while a frame that's too small won't provide proper support. When shopping for a bed frame, always confirm it is compatible with your queen mattress. Explore Casper queen bed frames designed to pair perfectly with a queen mattress.
