What Is Queen Bed Measurements?

Queen bed measurements are 152cm by 203cm, and that figure refers to the mattress rather than the frame surrounding it. Because Britain has no official queen category, the label appears on beds ranging from a 120cm small double to a true 152cm queen, so the centimetre figure is the only reliable guide. This article places the queen alongside every British bed size, shows how much width each sleeper actually gets, and walks through measuring an older UK room properly, including skirting projections and the narrowest point rather than wall to wall. It also explains why a mattress must match the frame exactly, how fitted sheet pocket depth catches people out, and when dropping to a double or small double gives a more usable bedroom....
