Queen beds are the perfect size for a bedroom that can accommodate bigger than a double bed, but can’t quite fit a king or super king bed. In most Australian homes, a queen size bed is what you’ll find in master bedrooms, and if there’s sufficient space, a popular choice for teens and young adults. At Amart Furniture you’ll find a wide range of features in queen beds designed for comfort, style and most importantly - a good night’s sleep.

How Big is a Queen Bed?

A queen bed is typically 15cm longer than a double bed and 30cm smaller than a king size bed. These dimensions make the queen bed the perfect size to comfortably fit two people or creates a luxurious size for someone sleeping solo. Within the wide range of queen size beds available at Amart, you’ll find slight differences in the size of a queen bed frame depending on the design. The base for a queen bed ensemble, being a bed base which doesn’t have a bedhead or frame of any sort, is the same size as a queen bed mattress.

Queen Bed Measurements

A standard mattress for a queen bed and an ensemble base will measure about 153cm wide x 203cm long. Of course, a queen bed frame is slightly wider and longer than the mattress. The typical dimensions of a queen bed frame generally measure around 167cm wide x 217cm long - but this can vary depending on the design and structure of different bed frames.

Is a queen size bed big enough for a couple?

If you’re wondering if a queen size bed will provide enough room for you and your partner, the answer is yes - but whether a queen bed is the right size to provide the comfort you seek depends on several factors:

1. Consider how much mattress space you need - if you are your partner are of small stature you may have more space in a double bed than a large couple has in a queen bed. Many couples find the length and width of a queen bed ideal, but bigger couples might find more space and comfort in a king size bed.
2. Your sleep style - restless sleepers may find they need more room in the bed than couples who happily spoon and sleep solidly together. A queen size bed is still able to provide enough space for restless couples, depending on their build.
3. Your need for extra wriggle room - some couples sleep better with a little space around them. A double bed won’t provide a lot of spare space, but queen beds and king size beds can.

Find your size: Queen bed vs Double bed

When deciding between a double or queen bed, consider both comfort and cost factors. Many individuals find that a queen size bed offers the extra room necessary for long-term comfortable sleeping, especially for couples. While double beds are suitable for individuals or couples with space constraints, queen beds provide additional space for a more comfortable sleep experience.

• Comfort: Many people find a queen size bed provides the extra room necessary for long term comfortable sleeping as a couple in comparison to a double bed.
• Cost: Naturally, the cost of a single bed  is at one end of the spectrum and a king size bed at the other, with king singles, doubles and queen beds falling in between. Of course, the cost of a bed is not only determined by size, and you can easily find a luxurious, high-quality double bed at a higher price point than a simple, low-cost queen bed. But if you are comparing similar quality and design, then a queen bed will cost more than a double bed.
• Ongoing Costs: Consider ongoing expenses such as mattresses and bed linen, which are often higher for queen size beds. Despite this, the investment in a queen bed can pay off in the long run, providing a more comfortable and spacious sleeping environment.

Double vs. queen size bed

If you’re debating whether to get a double or a queen bed, the main things to consider are comfort and cost - and on an ongoing basis, the cost of bed accessories such as mattresses and bed linen.

Comfort:

Many people find a queen size bed provides the extra room necessary for long term comfortable sleeping as a couple in comparison to a double bed.

Cost:

Naturally, the cost of a single bed is at one end of the spectrum and a king size bed at the other, with king singles, doubles and queen beds falling in between.

Of course, the cost of a bed is not only determined by size, and you can easily find a luxurious, high-quality double bed at a higher price point than a simple, low-cost queen bed. But if you are comparing similar quality and design, then a queen bed will cost more than a double bed.

You may also like to consider the warranty period to cover you for unexpected issues.

Ongoing costs:

Mattresses and bed linen can significantly increase the outlay needed when buying a new bed. In comparing similar quality double size mattresses and bed linen with queen size, the queen bed mattress, sheet sets, mattress protectors, quilts and quilt covers, or blankets will cost more than the same items in a double size.

If you have the space and budget, go for a queen bed. A larger bed leaves you with more options for you or your family to grow into the bed or even move it into another room down the track.
