A queen mattress sits at 60 inches wide and 80 inches long, while a full mattress measures 53 inches wide and 75 inches long. This means a queen size adds 7 inches in width and 5 inches in length when compared to a full size.

While the difference may seem small, those extra few inches can seriously improve comfort levels for some sleepers, especially couples and those who have a sprawling sleeping style.

When selecting a new mattress, the choice between a full or queen depends on your home, lifestyle, and sleep needs.

For most solo sleepers, both a full and a queen bed offer plenty of space. But if you want to be able to sprawl out and enjoy every inch of your luxurious mattress, then a queen is the way to go. For couples, the choice is more complicated. A full bed makes for a tight, cozy sleeping experience with two people, which some partners might actually prefer! For most couples, however, a queen bed adds those extra inches of breathing room necessary for comfort. For this reason, it’s typically seen as the best bed size for couples.

Naturally, room dimensions also factor into your choice of mattress type. If considering a queen bed, your room should be at least 10 x 10 feet to leave a comfortable amount of space around the mattress’ perimeter. In comparison, your room could be only 9 x 9.5 feet and still accommodate a full bed, or even smaller if you plan to fit your mattress into a corner.

Once you've decided on a full or queen size mattress, remember to consider other factors like the firmness level and special features before making a purchase.

In most cases, yes. At 60 x 80 inches, a queen mattress offers plenty of personal space for more than one sleeper.

There are a few exceptions to this rule, namely family homes and very hot sleepers. For couples with a child (or even a furry friend), you might need a king size bed mattress or larger to comfortably accommodate the extra bodies. If you're looking for a new mattress and either you or your partner tends to run hot at night, you might need the extra breathing room of a king bed—or a queen-size mattress with advanced cooling technology.
