Queen Mattress, the Queen of Today’s Mattress
What’s the size of your bed mattress at home? For couples, most of you probably have a
queen mattress size. Ever wondered how it got its name? If you search for it there’s no particular detail on how it got the naming. No one probably ever wonders either. They all consider it already make sense, that for a
small bed mattress only for one person is called a single, and a bigger one is a double (or sometimes called a full size).
The biggest mattress size of all (which is the king of all mattresses) is obviously called the king size, while a slightly smaller one compared to the king, is the
queen matress. Each size has its own type, and all goes by different sizes.
If a couple goes to a store to look for a bed these days, there’s a good chance they would be offered for a
queen size bed along with its
queen mattress. Or if they go searching online, the most common offer would also be this size. So what’s so special about this size of
queen mattress anyway? Well, many believe that the dimension of
queen mattress size provides just enough comfort, especially for couples. The size counts up to 60 inches in width, while the length is up to 80 inches. In centimeters it would be about 152x203 cm. The width may vary a bit, but the length is usually the exact size. Couples sleeping in a
queen mattress would have the space around 30 inches in width, each. This would be about 5-6 inches longer than they would have had if they use a double / full size mattress. But compared to sleeping alone in a twin size single mattress, their space would still be 9 inches short. These measurements surely count on general customers, and the real measurements depend on each individual’s size. Here are some specific measurements of a queen mattress size in US standards.
The thickness of mattress usually range between 6-18 inches (15-46 cm), and people could choose from a variety of options.
For couples seeking for close encounters and intimacy, the
queen mattress would be a perfect size. Or for individuals who have a habit of rolling around in their sleep, this much space would also give comfort. The
queen mattress is also cheaper then the king size one, giving one more reason why this size is very common. Are these also the reasons
why you chose your queen mattress?
