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.
