class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dimensions-full-vs-queen-bed-sizes\"><\/span>Dimensions: Full vs. Queen Bed Sizes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning with the dimensions, the size of the full bed is 54 x 75 inches while the queen-sized is 60 x 80 inches. The difference is pretty significant, and it is still not adequate for the queen bed to comfortably accommodate a couple. This is why both options are typically preferred by people who sleep alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best parts about the full bed is that it offers you a substantial amount of sleeping space without taking up a large footprint in your room. It can fit within the majority of bedrooms easily. You will have the essential amount of space to conveniently move in your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"full-vs-queen-bed-pros-and-cons\"><\/span>Full vs. Queen Bed: Pros and Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we talk about very small bedrooms then a full bed allows for much greater maneuverability than a queen bed. Generally, full-size beds are perfect for young adults in dorm rooms, teenagers, and single persons of any age who don\u2019t mind trading bed space for room space. Twin beds may be more suitable for younger children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-a-full-size-bed-big-enough-for-2-adults-or-what-is-the-best-size-bed-for-couples\"><\/span>Is a Full-Size Bed Big Enough For 2 Adults or What Is The Best Size Bed For Couples?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some couples may find that they can use full-size beds, but these beds provide very little space i.e. 27 inches per person. Couples will almost undoubtedly be happier with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/king-vs-queen-bed\/\">queen- or king-size bed<\/a>, which will give each person 30 inches or 38 inches of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A queen bed is capable to grow with a person (go from being a single-person bed to one a couple can share) in a way that a full bed can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"full-size-versus-queen-size-bed-comparison-chart\"><\/span>Full-Size versus Queen-Size Bed Comparison Chart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/full-vs-queen-bed-Comparison-Chart.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/full-vs-queen-bed-Comparison-Chart-554x1024.png\" alt=\"Full vs. Queen-Size Bed Comparison Chart: Difference, Dimensions, Pros &amp; Cons\" class=\"wp-image-2189\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Full Versus Queen Bed Comparison Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"full-bed-vs-queen-video-how-to-select-the-right-size-bed\"><\/span>Full Bed vs. Queen Video: How To Select The Right Size Bed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Land of Beds Buying Guide - How To Select The Right Size Bed\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/11mMZXEEAgQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.difference101.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Comparison Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-final-words\"><\/span>The Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The differences between the full-sized bed and the queen-sized bed can be fairly substantial, particularly if those few inches on top are what you are seeking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of your bed is also going to find a few different components such as the general comfort not only of your sleeping solution but the whole bedroom also. If you have a smaller room, it is wiser to go with a smaller option in order to leave enough space for other essential furniture as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"check-out-our-related-articles-about-other-bed-sizes\"><\/span>Check Out Our Related Articles About Other Bed Sizes:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/king-vs-queen-bed\/\">King vs. Queen Bed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/california-king-vs-king-bed\/\">California King vs. King Bed<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image Courtesy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Photo by House Method on Unsplash<\/li><li>Photo by Francesca Tosolini on Unsplash<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A full-size bed is sometimes named a double bed or a full bed.
