Single Mattress Sizes - The Queen Size Review
What size does a single mattress need to be? Well this really depends on you and the space you have, but in my opinion the most versatile mattress size is the queen size dimensions .
Please note, this review will not discuss the different types of mattress material and padding, today we are just going to address points relating to the size of the mattress. This review also assumes that individuals looking to use the bed are average size and weight, and do not require any special sleeping arrangements.
I believe the queen size mattress is the most versatile mattress size for a number of reasons.
Firstly, if you spend the majority of nights sleeping on your own, it provides a size of bed that gives you lots of space and comfort, whilst not taking up as much physical space as a king or emperor size mattress. However if you have the occasional visitor to stay that you share a bed with, the queen size mattress provides ample sleeping space for two people for the night.
If you live in a small house or apartment with your partner and space if fairly limited, a queen size mattress also provide an adequate sleeping space - not ideal, i personally prefer to go bigger as I like my own sleeping space however if is considerably better that using a standard double bed, without it being significantly bigger (only 6 inches in width).
The actually dimensions of a queen size bed dimensions is 60×80 in (152x203 cm) in America, and 160×200 cm (63.0x78.7 in) in Europe.
Other mattress sizes include, the Double/Full XL (UK: double) at 54×80 in (137×203 cm) which is slightly smaller and the King size at 76×80 in (193×203 cm) which is the ext biggest size.
