What size is a queen mattress?

In the US, a queen size bed the most popular mattress size - and it's small wonder.  At 80 inches long and 60 inches wide, the best queen size mattresses are ideal for couples and solo sleepers who want some extra room to stretch but don't have the room for a king-size. However, if you're a solo sleeper who likes a lot of room but doesn't have the most spacious bedroom, it may be best to go for a full instead.
