FAQs
What size is a queen mattress in Australia?
A standard Australian queen mattress size is 153 cm wide × 203 cm long, which suits most couples and solo sleepers who want more room without needing a big bedroom, and it typically fits Australian queen bed frames, quilt covers, and fitted sheets sold locally.
What’s the size difference between a queen and a double mattress?
In Australia, a double is usually about 138 × 188 cm, while a queen is 153 × 203 cm, so a queen gives you roughly 15 cm more width and 15 cm more length, which most couples notice straight away—especially if one person tosses and turns at night.
King vs queen mattress — which is better?
A king gives more space (great if you want maximum spread-out room), but it needs a larger bedroom to feel comfortable day-to-day, while a queen is often the best balance of sleep space, room fit, and budget for most Australian homes and guest rooms.
How do I choose the best firmness for a queen mattress?
To choose the best firmness, think about your sleep position and body weight: most people feel good on medium to medium-firm, because it supports your lower back without feeling hard, and it usually works well for couples who don’t want a mattress that sinks too much.
Best queen mattress for back pain?
For back pain, the best queen mattress is usually one that feels supportive and stable, often medium-firm, Look for 7-zone pocket springs or high-density support foam topped with a pressure-relieving comfort layer to cushion shoulders and hips. because it helps keep your spine in a straighter line while still easing pressure at the shoulders and hips, which can reduce that “stiff when I wake up” feeling for many people.
What is the best thickness for a queen size mattress?
For most adults, the best queen mattress thickness is usually around 25–35 cm, because that range tends to include enough support depth plus comfort layers to feel stable and comfortable, while very thin mattresses can feel basic over time and very thick ones aren’t always better.
How often should I replace my queen mattress?
Most people replace a queen bed mattress around 7–10 years, but it can be sooner if the mattress starts sagging, forming dips, squeaking, or you wake up sore more often than not, because worn support can affect sleep quality even if the surface still looks “fine”.
What is a Reasonable price for a queen size mattress?
A reasonable queen mattress price in Australia often sits around $200 –$1,200 for everyday comfort and durability, with cheaper options usually better for spare rooms and higher-priced models adding extras like thicker comfort layers, cooling fabrics, or longer warranty terms depending on the brand.
Is a cheap queen mattress okay for everyday use?
Yes, a cheap queen mattress can be okay for everyday use if it supports your spine and does not sag quickly. Look for at least a medium-firm feel, a proper support core (springs or dense foam), and a reasonable warranty. If you need extra comfort, add a queen mattress topper to soften the surface without replacing the whole mattress.
Where can I buy high quality queen mattresses?
The best place to buy a high-quality queen mattress is a retailer or brand that clearly lists materials, firmness, dimensions, warranty, and delivery details, because those basics tell you far more than marketing claims and it also makes returns and support simpler if something isn’t right after setup.
