" What About Queensize Beds? "

What about a Queensize bed?
Any of the Bed sizes fit in a normal room, but many couples feel that a Full or Double bed (they're the same thing) is definitely too narrow for anything more than an occasional night's sleep. A Queen Size bed gives each one a bit more room without taking up too much more floor space. A Queen bed is 6" wider than a Double bed, allowing more room for each person, but still 9" less than a twin bed.

Queen Size beds are 21" wider and 5" longer than a Twin bed and 6" wider and 5" longer than a Double size bed. Though this extra width and length can make all the difference in getting a good night's sleep, each adult still has 9" less of width than if they each slept in a twin bed.

A Queen bed works well for guest rooms and small master bedrooms and is a good choice for couples who like to snuggle. It gives two adults more space than a double bed. The extra length (5") works well for most adults. Sheets and blankets are easy to find and cost less than king bedding.

With only 30" of personal space for each person (only 3" more than a Double), a Queen may be too narrow for everyday sleeping for a couple. Some bedding is sold as "Full/Queen" and doesn't really fit either full or queen perfectly. Check bedding dimensions to be sure that it will fit comfortably. Standard size pillows or queen pillows work well. :

• Overall dimensions:60" wide x 80" long
• Width per person: 30"

Note: You might find a slightly larger Queensize bed called an "Olympic Queen". Be aware before you buy bedding: Standard Queen Sizes may not fit correctly and you might need to cut down king-size bedding, adding a considerable cost to your purchase
