Queen Bed Frame Dimensions
Our site provides descriptions and comparisons of queen bed frame styles on the market today, as well as a roundup of the best retailers on the web. We hope you find everything you need here!The specific sizes of bed frames are different in different parts of the globe. For instance, in Australia and North America, a queen size bed measures sixty (60) inches across by eighty (80) inches long (or 5 feet by 6 feet 8 inches). This is a widely held standard in these regions and typical queen bed frames will be very close to these measurements.
In the United Kingdom*, queen bed frames typically measure the same in width (60 inches) but are slightly shorter in length at only 78 inches.
The standard size for queen bed frames in Latin America and Continental Europe are quite close to the rest of the world with only slight differences. In these regions, the standard queen bed is a little wider at 63 inches with a length of 79 inches.
It is important to note that these are standard sizes and actual queen bed frames may (and indeed, DO) vary a little in each region. These minor variances typically mean very little when it comes to fitting a queen size mattress on a queen size frame.
So to recap queen bed frame dimensions by region:
N. America /Australia: 60 inches by 80 inches (or 152 cm × 203 cm)
United Kingdom*: 60 inches by 78 inches (or 150 cm × 201 cm)
Latin America /Continental Europe: 63 inches by 79 inches (or 160 cm × 200 cm)
*It is important to note that in the United Kingdom, the term “Queen Bed” isn’t typically used. Instead, what is called a queen bed to other parts of the world is called a King bed in the UK, and what other regions call a King Bed is called a Super-King in the UK.
