Queen Size Mattresses

Queen size mattress dimensions measure 60 x 80 inches. There are some variations to the standard queen mattress size. Here is a list of all the queen size bed dimensions:

• Queen Mattress: 60 x 80 inches
• Olympic Queen Mattress: 66 x 80 inches
• California Queen Mattress: 60 x 84 inches
• Split Queen Mattress: 2 mattresses each 30 x 80 inches

The dimensions of a standard queen size mattress are typically the same when it comes to length and width, but height is a different story. A queen mattress size can range anywhere from 6 inches to 24 inches in height. Anything less than 6 inches is typically considered a mattress topper instead of a mattress. Queen bed dimensions are considerably larger than a full-size mattress (also known as a double bed) but smaller than a king-size mattress and a California king mattress.

Queen size mattresses vary greatly in price depending on the brand, the type of materials, and the quality of those materials. Prices can range anywhere from $1000 for a bargain mattress to $7000+ for a high-quality mattress.

The queen mattress is the most popular mattress size because it’s great for a variety of sleepers and bedrooms. Reasons for getting a queen size mattress include:

• You sleep with a partner: A queen-sized mattress is the most popular choice for couples. You might think that a full-size mattress is the best for couples, but they are a bit too narrow for most couples. Queen mattresses give each sleeper a full 30 inches of wiggle room (about 2.5 feet), which is plenty of space to stretch, roll, and change positions.
• You have a family: If you have a family, you’re going to have little ones (and probably the dog too) crawling under the covers to wake up mom and dad or get some cuddles in the middle of the night. A queen mattress provides enough space for a couple to sleep comfortably with a miniature addition or two.
• You like a spacious mattress: Many singles prefer a queen size bed for the extra space it provides. A queen mattress gives you the freedom to spread out and sleep like royalty.
• You’re over 6 feet tall: If you’re one the tall side, a full or twin mattress will leave your feet dangling over the edge of the bed. At 80-inches long, a queen bed extends to 6’ 8” so taller people can enjoy their sleep as much as the rest of us.
• You’re furnishing a master bedroom or guest room: A master bedroom should be furnished with at least a queen bed. If you have a large master bedroom, a king size bed is also a good master bedroom choice. For guest rooms, a queen bed is a great choice since it fits nicely in most rooms and works well for both singles and couples.

It’s easy to find sheets for your queen size mattress. Sets of sheets are named for their corresponding mattress sizes. This means that if you want to fit a queen mattress, you should look for queen mattress sets of sheets. If you want sheets for a king mattress, you should buy king size sheets, and so on.

• Queen Fitted sheet: Most queen fitted sheets measure 60x80 inches, though exact dimensions can slightly vary. The average depth is 14 inches, though “deep pocket” versions are also available. Since fitted sheets have elastic corners to prevent sliding, it’s important to get a queen fitted sheet for your queen mattress.
• Queen Flat sheet: Dimensions of a queen flat sheet are approximately 90x105 inches. The exact dimensions vary by manufacturer. There’s a little more leeway when it comes to the dimensions of a queen flat sheet since it doesn’t have elastic or need to fit as precisely as a queen fitted sheet. You can even use a full size or king size flat sheet with a queen mattress. It won’t be exactly the right size, but it won’t be too noticeable.

If you need sheets for an especially deep queen mattress, like a hybrid mattress or thick pillow top innerspring mattress, then you may need to buy a special fitted sheet with extra pocket depth. The “pocket” of a fitted sheet is the part that tucks into each corner of the mattress. Most fitted sheets are made for mattresses up to 14 inches high. If your queen mattress is taller, you need to buy a deep-pocket fitted sheet.

Transporting your queen size mattress must be done with care. If you’re moving your queen size mattress to a different room in your house, you can simply stand the mattress on its side and drag it or carry it. Queen mattresses are heavy, so you should find someone to help you.

If you’re moving to a different house, you can transport your mattress by following these steps:

• Undress your mattress: Take everything off the mattress. Lift the mattress off the bed frame and box spring and put it on the floor.
• Bag your mattress: Get a plastic mattress bag (you can order them online) and have someone help you slide it onto your mattress until it’s completely covered.
• (Optional) Fold the Mattress: With a friend, get on either side of the mattress and fold it in half from top to bottom. While holding the mattress in a folded position, use some rope, bands, or ratchet straps to tie the mattress together. Once it’s tied, it will remain in its folded position. If you have a large moving truck, you may not need to fold the mattress (though you should still protect it with a mattress bag).

If your mattress shipped to you compressed in a box, you might think boxing it up again would be an easy way to transport it. But keep in mind that bed-in-a-box mattresses like the Purple mattress cannot be recompressed and boxed a second time. Trying to recompress your mattress may result in injury or damage to the mattress.

WARNING: Not all mattresses are safe to fold. Call your mattress brand’s customer service line to find the best way to transport their queen mattress. If you fold a mattress and cause damage, you may void the warranty.
