The standard Australian queen size mattress measures 153cm wide by 203cm long. This size has truly become the go-to for Aussie homes, hitting that sweet spot between having plenty of room to stretch out and still fitting nicely into the average master bedroom. It’s the foundation for creating a luxury look without the high-end price tag.
Your Guide to Queen Mattress Dimensions in Australia
Picking the right mattress is probably the most important decision you'll make for your bedroom. And while there are plenty of options out there from retailers like Snooze or Amart, the queen size consistently comes out on top in Australia. It’s a smart choice that offers a perfect balance of comfort for two and a manageable footprint, allowing you to invest in a stunning bed frame without overwhelming your space.
There’s a good reason for its popularity. As the most common bed size in the country, a queen gives each person just over 76cm of personal space. That's a significant step up from a double bed, making a real difference in how well you sleep next to a partner. Less bumping, more dreaming. You can find more great insights into Australian bed sizes on Bedbuyer.com.au.

To get a real sense of why the queen is such a crowd-pleaser, it helps to see it side-by-side with other standard sizes. This table gives you a quick snapshot of how it stacks up, especially if you're weighing your options for a home in Sydney.
| Mattress Size | Width (cm) | Length (cm) | Ideal For |

| King Single | 107 | 203 | Taller teenagers and single adults |
| Double | 138 | 188 | Single sleepers wanting extra room |
| Queen | 153 | 203 | Couples and most master bedrooms |
| King | 183 | 203 | Couples wanting maximum personal space |
Because it’s so common, finding beautiful and affordable bed frames to match your queen mattress is a breeze. Whether you're setting up a new place in Greater Sydney or just giving your current bedroom a refresh, getting the dimensions right is the first step to creating your perfect sleep sanctuary.
Why Standard Sizing Makes Shopping So Much Easier
Have you ever found the perfect bed frame online, only to hesitate, wondering if it will actually fit the mattress you already own? It’s a common fear, but thankfully, Australia's standardised queen mattress dimensions take all the guesswork out of the process.
This national standard means you can stop worrying about measurements and start focusing on what really matters: finding the style and quality that’s right for your home. You can confidently choose that gorgeous velvet bed frame or a timeless Tasmanian oak design, knowing it’s going to be a perfect match—without paying the premium prices you'd find at competitors like Nick Scali or Koala Living.

This consistency guarantees that any queen bed frame you purchase from us will fit any standard Australian queen mattress like a glove. It completely removes the headache of compatibility issues.
This simple standardisation means you can invest in high-end style without the matching price tag. You get that same chic, cohesive look you'd find at a premium store, but with the assurance of a perfect fit and much friendlier pricing.

How to Properly Measure Your Bedroom for a Queen Bed
A new bed should feel like a sanctuary, not a squeeze. Getting the measurements right is the first step to making sure your new queen bed fits beautifully, creating a room that feels both calm and practical. It’s less about just fitting the bed in and more about making the whole space work.
Grab a tape measure and start with the wall you plan to put the bed against. Once you have that measurement, mark out the bed’s footprint (153cm x 203cm) on the floor using painter's tape. This simple trick is a game-changer; it lets you see exactly how much floor space the bed will take up, so you can plan the rest of your layout without any guesswork.
The Designer's Rule for Walking Space
Ever wonder how interior designers make bedrooms feel so open and easy to move around in? They have a go-to rule that makes a world of difference.
As a rule of thumb, try to leave at least 70cm of clear walking space around the sides and foot of your bed. This gives you enough room to comfortably make the bed, open drawers, and walk around without bumping into things.
This guideline is a lifesaver, especially if you're planning a full bedroom makeover. Once you've taped out your bed, you can easily see where our matching modern wardrobes or a sleek TV unit could fit, giving you that polished, high-end look without the Snooze or Focus on Furniture price tag. As you're planning, it's also worth thinking about how bed placement impacts sleep quality in our guide.
One last thing—don't forget about the journey to the bedroom! Measure the height and width of your doorways, hallways, and any tricky corners in stairwells. There’s nothing more frustrating than buying the perfect affordable bed frame, only to find it won't make it past the front door.

Choosing the Perfect Frame for Your Queen Mattress
Once you’ve got your queen mattress dimensions figured out, the fun part begins: picking a bed frame that truly reflects your style. This is where you go beyond the numbers and start thinking about the look and feel of your bedroom.
Your bed frame really is the centrepiece of the room, and it sets the tone for the entire space. Think about the sleek, modern vibe of brushed gold steel, the classic warmth of solid Tasmanian Oak, or the plush, inviting comfort of a velvet upholstered frame. These are the details that turn a bedroom into a personal sanctuary. We believe you shouldn't have to pay a premium for that high-end design, which is why our mission is to deliver that aspirational look with exceptional quality, but at a price that makes sense.
Find Your Style: Luxury Bed Frame Materials
Choosing the right material is all about striking a balance between the look you want and the practicality you need. Your choice impacts not just the aesthetics of your room, but also its overall feel and how the frame holds up over time. We've put together a quick guide to help you find your perfect match from our collection of affordable bed frames. This table breaks down the different materials to help you pinpoint the one that best suits your vision for your bedroom.
| Material | Aesthetic | Best For | Durability |
| Velvet Upholstery | Plush, opulent, and soft | Creating a glamorous, high-end sanctuary | Excellent with care |
| Tasmanian Oak | Warm, natural, and sturdy | Timeless, classic, or rustic bedroom styles | Exceptional |
| Brushed Gold Steel | Modern, chic, and minimal | Contemporary or industrial-inspired spaces | Very High |
| MDF (Engineered Wood) | Versatile and clean | Budget-conscious buyers seeking modern design | Good |
Ultimately, the best material is the one that you'll love waking up to every day.
When you're mapping out your room, it can be helpful to consider different types of bed foundations, like the Boxspring Aurora Recor Bedding, to get a better sense of the total space your new bed will occupy.

Designing Your Complete Sydney Bedroom Suite
A truly beautiful bedroom is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a sanctuary. Once you've figured out the perfect queen mattress size for your space, the real fun begins: creating a complete suite that looks and feels professionally designed, but without the eye-watering price tags you might find at places like Nick Scali or Koala Living.
It's all about making deliberate choices with textures and materials. For a truly cohesive look, imagine pairing a luxe velvet bed frame with the smooth, cool surface of a sintered stone coffee table. Or complement a Tasmanian oak bed with a matching TV unit. This simple coordination creates a seamless, sophisticated flow that elevates the whole room.
Achieving a Cohesive Look
The secret is to stop thinking of your furniture as individual items and start seeing them as a complete collection. It’s about how each piece works together to create an atmosphere you love.
- Balance Your Textures: Try pairing the plush feel of a velvet bed frame with the sharp, clean lines of brushed gold steel on a lamp or wardrobe handles.
- Coordinate Your Materials: If you've chosen a bed frame made from warm Tasmanian oak, look for similar tones in your dressers or a matching coffee table. It really grounds the space.
- Create a Focal Point: Let your queen bed be the star of the show. From there, you can build out the room with complementary modern wardrobes and other accent pieces.

Common Questions We Hear About Queen Mattresses
To help make your furniture hunt a bit easier, we’ve put together answers to the questions we hear most often from customers who visit us in our Bankstown showroom.
Is There Really a Big Difference Between a Double and a Queen Bed?
Absolutely, and if you’re sharing the bed, it's a game-changer. A queen mattress gives you an extra 15 cm in width and 15 cm in length compared to a standard double. That might not sound like much, but it makes all the difference in reducing partner disturbance for a much better night’s sleep.
While a double is a great fit for a guest room, a queen is almost always the better choice for couples looking for everyday comfort that doesn’t break the bank.
You really feel that extra space in the real world. It can be the key to waking up refreshed, making a queen mattress a smart investment in your well-being. It’s a much more comfortable long-term solution than what competitors like Amart might suggest for smaller rooms.
Can I Use International Sheets on an Australian Mattress?
It’s a bit of a gamble, and we generally advise against it. Even though the names might be the same (like "Queen"), the actual queen size mattress dimensions can vary from country to country. A US Queen, for example, is a bit wider but also slightly shorter.
That small difference means your fitted sheets will either be a real struggle to get on or will constantly pop off the corners. For that perfect, tidy look, it's always best to stick with bedding designed for standard Australian sizes.
How Do I Look After a Velvet Bed Frame?
Velvet looks incredibly high-end—similar to styles you’d find at Koala Living—but thankfully, it isn't high-maintenance. For a regular clean, just run a vacuum over it with the soft upholstery brush attachment to pick up any dust.
If you have a little spill, the key is to blot it straight away with a clean, dry cloth. Whatever you do, don't rub! A little bit of simple care is all it takes to keep your affordable luxury bed frame looking fantastic.
