It doesn't matter whether you live alone or whether you have a partner, a queen size bed is a little bit of luxury in your home. Bed sizes are named according to the mattress dimensions, and a queen size bed measures approximately sixty inches by eighty inches, which makes it a great size for most people. The bed frame will be just a tad bit larger in both length and width to accommodate the mattress with a little extra room each way.
There are times, however, when a queen bed isn't the best size for a room; a child's room, for example, would require something more along the lines of a twin size bed. A lot of college dorm rooms and boarding houses favor the twin extra long instead of the queen size, making it ideal for a room with two or more students to save space. Most hotel rooms come with a queen bed, though, which is generally the perfect size for two people, or one adult and one child.
Metal Beds Queen
A queen size bed frame is one of the most popular sizes to find at retail stores, and some frames even expand into king size frames. Likewise, a full frame can even expand into a queen size, simply because a it is one of the most popular size of mattresses today. Queen beds are usually the same size as two regular twin mattresses, making it easy to find a box spring to fit into a frame; at the very least, two twin box springs will make an excellent platform to support the queen mattress.
The queen bed has been a standard choice for the majority of Americans since the last decade of the 20th century, even though the mattress and size have been around for many years. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when the queen size bed size came into existence, but its popularity has expanded, making it the number one choice over both twin and double size bed frames.
Mattresses in a more traditional style can be traced as far back as the Roman Empire, but it wasn't until the late 18th century before people started stuffing them cotton, instead of straw or hay or even feathers. Stuffing a queen bed with cotton made it much more firm than the earlier versions, and the expanded size of the queen size bed frame met with approval from people in all walks of life. Once mattresses started being manufactured for purchase in a commercial environment, they became more affordable and easier for people to try out different sizes and types. With just the right amount of length and the right amount of width, the queen size bed frame exploded into homes across North America, leading millions of people into slumber each night.
Even though some types of mattress and frame lengths have become obsolete over the years, such as three-quarter length beds, there's no sign of the queen size bed frame exiting out of existence any time soon. And as long as hotels, motels and the average consumer prefer the queen bed over any other size, it's almost certain that it will stay.
