What Are the Dimensions of a Queen-Size Bed?
Updated: May 14, 2025
Explore queen mattress sizing, room fit, and how Douglas makes choosing the right one easy.
What Size Is a Queen Mattress in Canada?
A standard queen-size mattress in Canada measures 60 inches wide by 80 inches long (152.5 cm x 203.5 cm). That’s half a foot wider and five inches longer than a double (or “full”) mattress, giving you more space to stretch out without taking up too much room in your bedroom.
This is why it’s the most popular mattress size in Canada – and why it’s a top pick for couples, solo sleepers who like a bit of extra room, and anyone upgrading from a smaller bed.
Quick fact: Queen-size beds are the most popular mattress size, making up about half of all mattress sales globally1.
Is a Queen Mattress the Right Size for Me?
If you’re still figuring out what size bed is best for you, a queen is a great starting point. Here’s why:
Fits most Canadian bedrooms: A queen is large enough to sleep two adults comfortably but still fits well in medium-sized spaces.
Room to move: Compared to a double, you get six extra inches of width and five more inches of length.
Ideal for couples or tall solo sleepers: At 80″ long, a queen suits most people up to about 6’6″.
Whether you’re furnishing a new place or finally replacing that old worn-down mattress, a queen offers a great balance between comfort and practicality.
How Much Space Do I Need for a Queen Bed?
The recommended room size for a queen mattress is at least 10 feet by 10 feet (or roughly 3×3 meters). This gives you enough space to comfortably walk around the bed and fit essentials like nightstands, a dresser, or even a cozy chair.
You’ll want about 24–36 inches of clearance (or ~60–90 centimeters) on each side of the bed and at the foot so you don’t feel cramped.
Design Tip: Using wall-mounted lighting, slim-profile furniture, or an adjustable bed base can help you maximize usable floor space.

Queen vs. Other Mattress Sizes
If you’re comparing sizes before you buy, here’s how a queen relates to the other most common mattress sizes:
Mattress Size
Dimensions (inches)
Ideal For
Twin
38″ x 75″
Kids, bunk beds, tight spaces
Twin XL
38″ x 80″
Fully grown solo sleepers, small rooms
Double / Full
54″ x 75″
Solo sleepers, teens, guest rooms
Queen
60″ x 80″
Couples, primary bedrooms, taller sleepers
King
76″ x 80″
Families, master bedrooms
California King
72″ x 84″
Extra-tall sleepers, spacious rooms
A queen is often considered the “just right” size: more space than a double without the footprint of a king.
Types of Queen Mattresses at Douglas
Once you’ve decided a queen is right for you, the next step is finding the perfect one. Here are the Douglas options available in queen size:
Douglas Original
Our most popular mattress. Canadian-made, eco-conscious, and designed for great sleep – at a price that won’t keep you up at night.
Pressure-point relief and spinal alignment
Cooling gel foam for all-season comfort
365-night sleep trial and 20-year warranty (common to all Douglas mattresses)
Absolutely. While 10’x10′ is the ideal room size, a queen mattress can still work in rooms as small as 9’x10′, especially with smart furniture choices.
Here are a few tips to make it work:
Choose a platform base or an adjustable bed with built-in clearance.
Use vertical space with wall-mounted shelving.
Go with minimalist nightstands or floating tables.
What Bedding & Bed Frame Do I Need for a Queen?
Queen-size bedding is the most widely available in Canada. That includes:
What size is a queen mattress in inches and centimeters? A standard queen mattress measures 60 inches by 80 inches (or 152.5 cm by 203.5 cm).
Will a queen mattress fit in a 10×10 room? Yes. A 10-foot by 10-foot room is the recommended minimum space for a queen-size mattress.
Is a queen-size bed good for couples? Definitely. A queen offers enough room for two adults to sleep comfortably without the extra space of a king.
What is the difference between a double and a queen mattress? A queen is 6 inches wider and 5 inches longer than a double, providing more space to move and better support for taller sleepers (up to 6’6″).
What kind of frame works best for a queen-size bed? We recommend a solid platform base or slatted frame with a center support beam. (Slats must be 2 inches or wider, spaced no further than 3 inches apart.) Adjustable bases also pair perfectly with foam mattresses like the Douglas Original.
A queen-size mattress is the go-to choice for many Canadian sleepers – and for good reason. It’s spacious, versatile, and fits in most bedrooms without overwhelming the space.
If you’re ready to upgrade your sleep setup, the Douglas Original queen-size mattress delivers premium comfort, eco-conscious materials, and great value – all backed by a 365-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty.
