Shop Bedroom FurnitureWhen Is a Queen Mattress the Right Choice?
Whether you’re one part of a couple who loves to snuggle or lack the space for a king bed, there are plenty of reasons a queen box spring and mattress is the standard choice. Overall, room size determines which size mattress is the right choice for a bedroom layout, but a queen mattress offers a sweet spot for two to sleep comfortably without hogging valuable floor space in the bedroom.
First, let’s clarify some terminology. While bed and mattress are often used to mean the same thing, in the industry, they’re two different pieces. A bed is the actual frame, while a mattress is the surface users sleep on. It’s a small detail, but it’s important to know for the following considerations.
For one, there are different types of queen beds on the market, and style has a direct impact on price. With that said, queen bed frames can be as affordable as $200 but generally start around $600, and you can also expect to pay $200 to $1,500 for a queen mattress compared to $150–$1,200 for a full mattress. Bed frames also get more expensive by size, so a queen size bed with mattress and bed frame will be considerably cheaper than king-size options.
Decoding Queen Mattress Sizes
The dimensions of a queen mattress measure 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. Knowing this can help you map out your room and confirm that a queen bed is the right size for the space. On top of the queen mattress dimensions, you will need to add extra inches to accommodate the bed frame.
Picking the Right Queen Mattress
If you are looking for a queen size mattress, start with your ideal comfort levels and materials. Each sleeper is unique, which means you might have a specific firmness level or technology that you prefer. Here are a few queen-size mattress options that showcase how diverse sleep experiences are (click the ➕to learn more).
➕Queen Innerspring Mattresses
Queen innerspring mattresses are the most mattress design. They use coils to provide support and absorb movement. While affordable, they also create pressure points, particularly for side sleepers. However, the rigid support is ideal for back sleepers.
➕Queen Pocketed Coil Mattresses
Rather than using interlocking coils, which decreases motion isolation, queen pocked coil mattresses feature individually wrapped springs. As a result, users enjoy localized support that reduces bouncing and movement.
➕Queen Memory Foam Mattresses
For a modern approach to sleep health, a queen memory foam mattress is the best option. It’s also the best at absorbing motion, and the cradling effect helps keep the spine in alignment for side sleepers.
➕Queen Gel Memory Foam Mattresses
Queen gel memory foam mattresses cost more than standard memory foam mattresses, but they come with advanced cooling properties, meaning they do a better job at keeping sleepers cool. Like traditional memory foam, gel versions are best for side sleepers.
➕Queen Hybrid Mattresses
This option uses a mixture of coils and memory foam to provide a quality sleep experience. Queen hybrid mattresses are ideal for couples looking for a compromise between support and comfort.
➕Split Queen Mattresses
While split queen mattresses aren’t as widely available as king models, select brands offer options. These beds are ideal for couples who have two distinct sleep comfort levels.

Not All Queen Bed Frames Are the Same
Once you decide which queen size mattress is best for your sleep style, you can start picking out bed frames that reflect your design style and personal tastes. A queen bed set for couples will match the personalities of everyone involved while still providing some practical features. Here are a few bed frame options to help you pick out your queen bed with mattress.
- Queen Panel Beds: These are traditional beds that use rails and a box spring to support the mattress. While simple, their straightforward designs allow for more style flexibility in a bedroom.
- Queen Sleigh Beds: These are dramatic beds that add flair to your room. Signature details include a scrolled headboard (as well as a matching footboard often) and ornate details. While beautiful, sleigh beds are among the biggest bed styles and require the most bedroom clearance.
- Queen Storage Beds: Storage beds include drawers and shelves built into their designs making them ideal in bedrooms where storage is at a premium.
- Queen Bookcase Beds: These beds have shelves and cubbies built into the headboard. They don’t as much organization as storage beds, but they’re a great alternative for users who want to neatly store books, décor, and bedroom essentials nearby.
- Queen Platform Beds: Platform beds don’t need box springs and have a lower profile for a modern look.
- Queen Beds with Adjustable Bed Frames: Buyers can also opt for a queen mattress and adjustable bed to enjoy tailored sleep at the level of comfort each sleeper desires. Paired with a split queen mattress, it’s the easiest way for coupled sleepers to enjoy precise sleep support for each individual’s stature and sleep preference.
