Queen Size Mattresses

Can't choose a mattress? Don’t lose sleep over it. Here’s everything you need to know to get you excited about upgrading your sleep experience with a queen mattress.

The Basics: Queen Mattress Dimensions

A queen mattress measures 153cm wide by 203cm long.

That’s enough room for one person to embrace their inner starfish—or for two people to sleep side by side without fighting for space. It’s no wonder it’s the go-to size for many.

As a rule of thumb, your bedroom should be at least 10m² to comfortably fit a queen bed with room to move.

Who Should Get a Queen Mattress?

A queen mattress is ideal for couples, giving you plenty of room to snuggle—or, if we’re honest, to enjoy your own side of the bed without a rogue elbow interrupting your dreams.

For solo sleepers, it’s the ultimate indulgence. Stretch out, sprawl out, and save a spot for your pet (even if they’re technically not allowed).

Queen mattresses are also the perfect choice forguest rooms. They strike the ideal balance between offering your guests extra space and fitting comfortably into a smaller room. Opting for a queen size bed with storage is an added bonus—it keeps extra blankets, pillows, and bed linens neatly tucked away, ensuring your guests feel both spoiled and organised.

Do you dream of sinking into a soft cloud every night? Or do you prefer the supportive embrace of something firmer?
