Queen mattress dimensions refer to the standard length and width measurements of a queen-sized mattress. In Australia, a queen mattress typically measures 153 cm wide by 203 cm long (also referred to as 5’0” × 6’6”). In simple terms, that means a queen mattress is wider and longer than a double but smaller than a king — giving you generous room for two adults without taking up as much floor space as larger sizes.
Here’s why this matters: knowing the exact queen mattress dimensions is essential for choosing bedding, bed frames, ensembles, and accessories that fit perfectly. It ensures comfort and avoids common mistakes like buying sheets that are too small or bed bases that don’t match your mattress size.
How Big is a Queen Mattress in Australia?
In Australia, the standard queen mattress dimensions are:
-
Width: 153 cm (approx. 5 feet)
-
Length: 203 cm (approx. 6 feet 6 inches)
These dimensions are consistent across most Australian mattress brands, bedding manufacturers, and bed frames. Unlike variations seen in some overseas markets (e.g., US “queen” sizes that differ slightly), Australian queen mattresses stick to this clear standard — making shopping and styling much easier.
Why Queen Mattress Dimensions Matter
Understanding mattress dimensions isn’t just a technical detail — it affects everyday comfort and décor choices.
1. Bedding Fit
Sheets, protectors, mattress toppers, and covers must align with these measurements to fit snugly without slipping or bunching.
2. Bed Frame & Ensemble Compatibility
Whether you’re buying a standalone mattress or a complete queen bed ensemble, you need to match the mattress size to the frame or base. A mismatch can cause structural strain, gaps, or wobbling.
3. Room Planning & Space Efficiency
Queen sizes suit many Australian bedrooms — from master suites to guest rooms — offering ample sleeping space without overwhelming the floor plan.
4. Sleep Comfort
With dimensions that balance width and length, queen mattresses provide comfortable shared sleep space for couples and extra room for individuals who enjoy a spacious bed.
Standard Mattress Sizes in Australia (Quick Comparison)
| Mattress Size | Width | Length | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 92 cm | 188 cm | Kids, solo sleepers, small rooms |
| King Single | 107 cm | 203 cm | Taller solo sleepers |
| Double | 138 cm | 188 cm | Smaller bedrooms, guest rooms |
| Queen | 153 cm | 203 cm | Most Australian couples |
| King | 183 cm | 203 cm | Spacious master bedrooms |
| Super King | 203 cm | 203 cm | Ultimate space and luxury |
In simple terms, a queen mattress gives about 15 cm more width than a double — a meaningful difference in shared sleep comfort — without the space demands of a king.
How to Choose the Right Queen Mattress for Your Space
Finding the ideal queen mattress is more than picking dimensions — it’s about how the bed fits into your lifestyle and bedroom setup.
Step 1 — Measure Your Room
Start by measuring your bedroom floor space. A queen mattress needs at least 80–90 cm of clearance on each side for movement, nightstands, and other furniture.
Step 2 — Match with Bed Frame or Ensemble
If you’re selecting a queen bed ensemble, ensure the frame supports 153 × 203 cm mattresses. Many designs include slats or platforms tailored to standard queen sizing.
Step 3 — Think About Sleep Preferences
While dimensions determine fit, firmness, materials, and construction determine comfort. Think about whether you prefer memory foam, innerspring, hybrid, or latex — all of which can come in queen sizes.
Step 4 — Bedding & Accessories
Buy bedding designed for queen sizes — this includes fitted sheets, protectors, mattress toppers, and duvet covers sized for queen duvets.
Step 5 — Allow for Movement & Space
If you have pets, kids who may join in bed, or you simply like space to stretch, queen sizes strike a balance between comfort and space economy.

Queen Mattress Trends for 2025 (Australia)
Sleep trends in Australia for 2025 are shaping how people think about mattress size and comfort — even within standard dimensions like queen.
Trend 1 — Hybrid Comfort Layers
Australian sleepers are increasingly choosing hybrids that combine foam and spring support for balanced comfort and airflow.
Trend 2 — Sustainable Materials
Eco-friendly foams, natural latex, and recycled textiles are rising in popularity as part of conscious living.
Trend 3 — Zoned Support Systems
Mattresses with targeted firmness zones (e.g., firmer edges, softer shoulder areas) are enhancing comfort without changing outer dimensions.
Trend 4 — Smart Sleep Accessories
Mattress toppers and protectors with cooling technology or antimicrobial finishes are becoming standard pairings with queen mattresses.
Trend 5 — Bedroom as Sanctuary
With home offices and multifunctional spaces becoming the norm, the queen mattress is central to creating restful retreats that fit within contemporary lifestyles.
The main reason Australians love these trends is they maximise comfort while staying within familiar, practical mattress sizes — like the classic queen.

Layer for Comfort
Add a mattress topper sized for queen beds to personalise comfort while keeping the benefits of your existing mattress.
Pair With Proportionate Furniture
Choose bedside tables, rugs, and lighting that balance the scale of a queen bed — this creates harmony in your room layout.
Leave Space Around the Bed
Allow at least 60–80 cm of walking space on either side when possible — especially in master bedrooms.
Maintain Mattress Health
Rotate or flip your queen mattress according to manufacturer guidelines to extend longevity and even wear.
