Queen Size Mattresses

Why Choose a Queen Size Mattress?

The queen is the go-to choice for couples and one of the most versatile mattress sizes on the market. Here's why so many Australian households choose queen:

• Gives couples around 76.5 cm of sleeping space each
• Fits comfortably in most standard Australian master bedrooms
• Available in every mattress type, feel, and price range
• Compatible with a wide range of bed frames, ensemble bases, and headboards
• A real upgrade in sleeping area over a double, without needing the space a king requires

Spinal Support in a Queen Size Mattress

With a queen, both sleepers have enough room to find their ideal sleeping position, which means the mattress needs to support a range of body types, weights, and postures at the same time.

Our queen mattresses are built with this in mind. Individually wrapped pocket springs allow each side of the bed to respond independently to the weight and movement of each sleeper, while zoned foam layers provide targeted pressure relief for the shoulders, lumbar region, and hips. The result is a mattress that doesn't just accommodate two people but actively supports both of them throughout the night.

Mattress Types Available in Queen Size Mattress

Pocket Spring Queen

The most popular choice for couples. Independently wrapped coils isolate motion so one partner's movement doesn't disturb the other, while delivering consistent, responsive support.

Memory Foam Queen

Offers deep body-contouring support that distributes weight evenly and relieves pressure points. Particularly good for side sleepers and those with hip or shoulder discomfort.

Gel Foam Queen

Brings the body-contouring benefits of memory foam with added gel technology to draw heat away from the body surface. A great option for people who sleep warm or live in warmer climates.

Pillow Top Queen

Combines deep core support with a plush, cushioned sleeping surface. Popular with those who want that hotel-quality feel at home without giving up long-term support.

Hybrid Queen

Pairs the responsive feel of pocket springs with the comfort and pressure relief of memory or gel foam layers. A solid option for couples who have different sleep preferences.

How to Choose the Right Queen Size Mattress

• Sleeping positions: If you and your partner sleep differently, look for a medium-firm feel that works for both.
• Motion isolation: If one partner is a restless sleeper, prioritise pocket spring or memory foam options with good motion isolation properties.
• Temperature regulation: Hot sleepers should consider gel foam, open-cell foam, or mattresses with moisture-wicking fabric covers.
• Edge support: Good edge support expands the usable sleeping surface, which matters more on a shared bed.
• Room size: We recommend a room of at least 3.5m x 3.5m for a queen, leaving space for bedside tables and walkways on both sides.

An Australian standard queen mattress measures 153 cm wide by 203 cm long. That makes it 15 cm wider and 15 cm longer than a standard double mattress.

Yes. A queen gives each person around 76.5 cm of sleeping width, which is comfortable for most couples. If either partner moves around a lot or wants more personal space, a king is worth considering.

A king mattress (183 x 203 cm) is 30 cm wider than a queen (153 x 203 cm). Both are the same length. The king is a better fit for couples who want maximum personal sleeping space, have a larger bedroom, or regularly share the bed with children or pets.

Pocket spring and hybrid models are generally a strong choice for couples because of their motion isolation properties. You're less likely to be disturbed when your partner moves during the night. Memory foam is another solid option if motion isolation is a priority.

The right queen mattress can definitely support spinal health and help ease back pain. Look for models with zoned support, lumbar reinforcement, and a firmness level that suits your sleeping position. Medium-firm is often recommended for back pain, though individual needs vary.

Quality queen mattresses in Australia range from around $500 for entry-level options to $3,000 and above for premium models. At Chiro Care Mattresses, we stock options across price points. The priority is finding the right construction and support level for your needs, not just spending more.
