The Fundamentals of Purchasing a Queen Mattress

Oct 262010

Regardless of whether you need only one queen mattress, or multiple queen mattresses for your household, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the dimensions and price points of various brands so that you are sure to obtain the best, queen mattress possible for every bedroom. Personally, I prefer a firm queen mattress, though tastes vary among individuals.

A standard queen mattress measures 80 inches in length and 60 inches in width, or stated otherwise, 6’8″ long and 5 feet wide. Therefore, though few individuals will require over 80 inches in length to get a restful sleep, many people think more in terms of dividing the 5 feet in width between themselves and a spouse. These dimensions leave 2.5 feet of queen mattress space for each partner (30 inches), and with the typical male shoulder width measuring 20 inches, 5 inches of room will remain on each side with both people lying flat. Regardless of the size of your spouse, you are sure to be sharing the mattress space, particularly in the case of adjustable beds.

A typical bed skirt measures 15 inches, and thus the tallest point on a box spring rises 15 inches off of the floor. Bed skirts drape over the box spring structure, and are intended to camouflage the area between the floor and the bed frame so that the space under the bed is disguised. As you contemplate one of your home’s bedrooms and the proper size bed for that room, keep in mind how much space you believe you or a guest would need in order to comfortably sleep.

A bargain queen mattress can run anywhere between $200 and $500 dollars. This type of product is usually has spring coils and is constructed of inferior materials, but can be a decent choice if you are on a budget. A mid-range product is likely to cost between $500 and $1,000 and may take the form of a standard Simmons queen mattress. Such a product will be a bit more durable and offer greater comfort, and this is the most commonly selected price point by those hoping to offer guests a sound night of sleep, or to bridge the gap before they have the funds for a more luxurious queen mattress model. A top quality queen mattress is likely to be priced somewhere in the $1,000 to $3,000 range, based on the particular sort of model you have in mind.

How to Buy the Best Queen Mattress

Before you begin your shopping expedition for a queen mattress (or more than one if you would like a comfortably plush queen mattress in every room of your house), it is vital you know what is available as to the measurements and prices of brands on the market. Of course we all have our preferences, but I am especially partial to a firmer queen mattress.

The standard sizing in a queen mattress is 5 feet wide and 6 feet 8 inches long, or 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. That means that in most queen mattresses, you will be splitting 5 feet in half for you and your husband or wife, although not many people are tall enough to need more than 80 inches in length to sleep comfortably. When lying flat, the average male has a shoulder width of 20 inches so if you take into account that each partner has 2 and 1/2 feet of firm queen mattress in total, the man has only about 5 inches of space on each side. If you have an adjustable bed frame, you will still be sleeping on only half the bed, regardless of the size of your wife.

The top of the bed’s box spring is 15 inches from the floor, as evidenced by the face that the average bed skirt is 15 inches in length. In order that the under carriage of your bed is kept from view, the bed skirt is meant to obscure the box spring and the space created by the bed frame. One very important consideration to keep in mind is just how much space is available on each side of the size of bed you choose for the one sleeping in it to maneuver around.

You can buy queen mattresses for between $200 and $500 at the lower end of the scale. They can be a good choice if you are on a budget, but they are usually spring coiled and not of the very best in materials. For a typical Simmons queen mattress, on the medium end, the average amount you will pay is between $500 and $1,000. Most people choose from this medium price range where the mattress will probably be more comfortable, last longer, and provide their guests with a good night’s rest until the time when they can afford a firmer, plusher queen mattress of higher quality. Depending on just what you want in your queen mattress, at the higher end you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or a little more if you want it for an adjustable bed.
