WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF A QUEEN SIZE MATTRESS

There are several types of Queen size mattresses available, each with its own unique features, feel, and benefits. Your personal situation and preference will guide which one is best for you. Some of the most common types include:

All-foam mattresses

A memory foam mattress is made of several layers of foams. Its top foams are softer and provide pressure relief to your high-pressure points (shoulders and hips). As you go down into the mattress, increasingly firm foams provide spine-aligning support, as well as support to your high-pressure areas, to ensure your spine and neck are aligned throughout the night.

On a memory foam mattress, you will feel contouring to your body, customized support, and pressure relief. They can be a good option for those who have joint pain or prefer a softer sleeping surface.

Over the years, memory foam mattresses have gotten bad rep for sleeping hot and making their sleepers sweat… body heat got trapped into the foam layers and sleepers were cradled into their own heat. Some negatives also ran around the feeling of being stuck in the foam… Today, most foam mattress manufacturers include mattress covers that pull body heat away from your body, foams that are engineered to sleep cool (i.e., cooling gel infused) and that are responsive to make turning and tossing effortless.

Hybrid mattresses

Hybrid mattresses combine the best features of innerspring and all-foam mattresses. They typically feature a layer of foam or memory foam, often with cool-sleeping properties, on top of a thick core of individually-wrapped steel coils, providing both support and comfort.

Your body first hits the softer foam, designed to provide pressure relief, mild contouring, and comfort. You often have the choice of firmness, to best fit your sleeping style and preference. After the first 2 to 6 inches of pressure relief, your body get the spine-aligning and support benefits of the thick and firm layer of coils.

Hybrid mattresses are known for sleeping cooler than foam mattresses. The layer of coils lets plenty of air flow through the mattress, exchanging your body heat for cool air rising from your room into the upper foam layers.

Polymer mattresses

A new kind of mattresses has hit the market a few years ago. Polymer mattresses are made of a very elastic, wide-open, foam that has a very unique feel and does a really good job at sleeping cool and adapting to your body, to provide a sensation of full support. We find it similar to the feeling of zero-gravity, and those mattresses are great for couples with different sleeping styles as they adapt to all body shapes.

Some of the polymer mattresses are made of all polymer, while others are hybrid mattresses with  a layer of coils for extra support and durability.

Innerspring mattresses

Innerspring mattresses are the most traditional type of mattress, featuring coils that provide support and stability. They are often more affordable than other types of mattresses and are a good option for those who prefer a firmer sleeping surface. They unfortunately tend to transfer motion quite a bit, which can make up a sleeper if his/her partner moves a lot at night. Mattress manufacturers are moving away from innerspring mattresses, and they are becoming harder to find, for the health benefit of all. We highly recommend the upgrade to all-foam, hybrid, or polymer mattresses.
