Queen Size Mattress
Dimensions And Two Queen Mattresses To Consider
The Queen size mattress dimensions are 60 x 80 inches or 152.4 x 203.2 cm.
For couples and single adults who like a spacious sleeping area, the queen mattress dimensions will be quite comfortable.
Because of the popularity of the queen size mattresses, bedding in this size is extremely easy to find.
Queen size sheets will also fit a full mattress, so it is a very convenient size of mattress to own.
The queen mattress is 5 inches longer and 6 inches wider than the full size mattress, which makes it more suitable for couples and taller people who need the extra length.
Like most other mattress sizes, queen mattress dimensions are available in a variety of different styles and materials. Here are some of the best ones...
Sealy Posture Firm
The Sealy Posture Firm queen mattress is an example of a traditional innerspring style mattress that is designed to suit specific needs. This extra-firm mattress uses heavy gauge steel in its springs as well as thick, dense padding to provide lasting support to alleviate back pain.
This mattress is a good choice for people who weigh more than 300 pounds because it has the strength to support them without breaking down the way other mattresses might. Priced at around $800, this queen size mattress is an excellent buy because it is built to last.
Pros:
- Reasonable price
- Extremely solid support system - good for back problems and large people
- Lasts a long time -- does not sag with age
- No "funnel effect" between sleeping partners
Cons:
- Heavy to move
- Some people find it too hard
Miracle Bed 14" Memory Foam
Following on the heels of the famous Swedish TempurPedic mattress, memory foam has become an extremely popular choice when it comes to alternative types of mattresses. The high price of the real Tempur-Pedic mattress has put it out of reach for some consumers, but thankfully there are other companies manufacturing memory foam mattresses that are comparable, for a fraction of the price.
One such company is Miracle Bed. The Miracle Bed queen size mattress is a luxurious 14 inches thick, while most other queen mattresses of this type are only 12". It is made from visco-elastic memory foam with built-in ventilation to reduce the amount of heat retained by the bed.
The Miracle Bed queen size mattress can be purchased online for about $600, and the USA-based company offers free shipping to 48 states (Alaska and Hawaii excluded). The 120-lb mattress arrives vacuum-packed to a fraction of its size for ease of shipping, but expands to its full size once unpacked.
This mattress comes encased in its own zippered cover with a non-skid bottom. Nearly everyone who has tried a memory foam mattress is amazed at the comfort and support that this material offers. Although not identical to the Tempur-Pedic mattress, general consensus is that the Miracle Bed mattress is money well spent.
Pros:
- Very affordable price
- 14" thick instead of 12" like most others
- Unbelievable comfort - eliminates back pain for most people
- No lumps or coils
- Ventilated to reduce the heat that memory foam is notorious for
- 20 year limited warranty
- 90 day trial period
Cons:
- Memory foam has an unpleasant smell when it is first unpacked
- Memory foam retains heat and can become very hot to sleep on in spite of the ventilation that is designed to reduce this problem
- Some larger people find it difficult to roll over on this type of mattress; they report a sensation of being trapped in a hole
The queen size mattress that you select should suit your height as well as your weight; what may be comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for the next.
If you are unsure if the mattress that you want is going to be right for you, try to find a vendor that allows a trial period so that you can evaluate the mattress before deciding to keep it.
