How big is a queen size mattress?
“Queen size mattress” actually includes at least three different sub-types of mattress sizes. An “ordinary” queen measures 68” x 80”. An olympic queen is longer at 66” x 80”. Finally the California queen is even longer at 60” x 84”. Ironically, this queen size is actually longer than a king size mattress, or even a “super king” mattress.

Queen measurements are not accurate for NW USA. Our standard (and I believe the US standard) for a queen mattress is 60"w x 80" long.

I do not believe this information is correct, it should be 60 inches not 68 inches.
