Are you in the market for a new mattress? If so, are you trying to replace it with a new size or stick to the one you have? Have you considered a Queen mattress or a Split Queen mattress ? Which one is the best mattress size for you?
First thing to know is the difference between a Queen size mattress and a Split Queen size mattress. They both measure 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. The difference is that a Queen mattress is one mattress, and a Split Queen mattress consists of two separate mattresses, 30 inches wide by 80 inches long each. So for a Queen mattress, you'll need a Queen sheet set, and for a Split Queen mattress, you'll need a Split Queen sheet set (the main difference is that the Split Queen Sheet set will have two separate fitted sheets of 30 x 80 inches).
How do you know which mattress is right for you? Let's go through it together.

Here are some things to consider in order to make the best decision for you.
Are you and your partner very different weights? How firm is your mattress? Does your mattress move when one of you two moves? Is one of you a light sleeper and wakes up when the other one moves? Do you like to cuddle or do you prefer your own space when you're sleeping?
These are all very good questions to ask yourself when deciding whether a Queen or a Split Queen bed is right for you!

Other Mattress Sizes:
Depending on your space, budget, and whether you sleep alone or with someone, you might want to consider different size beds. Here are mattress dimensions / mattress measurements that might be useful for you to know about:
Twin
A twin size mattress (also called a single bed) is 38 x 75 inches. They're the smallest standard bed size. They're great for kids. If your kids share a room, getting a bunk bed for them can be a great option! Bunk beds are two beds stacked on top of each other. They are functional if your kids sleep together, because it takes less space in a room than two beds side by side. The size of a Standard, Single or Twin bunk bed is 75 inches x 39 inches x 65 inches. So you'll want to use a twin mattress to fit onto the bunk twin bed.
Twin XL
A twin xl mattress is 38 x 80 inches. They have an additional 5 inches in length compared to a regular twin, so it's a great option when your kid is a bit older and growing too tall for a Twin size bed. A twin xl mattress can also be a good option for a teenager.*Note that twin sheets and twin xl sheets are the same. Whether you have a regular twin size bed or a twin xl bed, you'll want to get twin xl sheets.
Full
A Full size mattress (also called double bed) is 54 x 75 inches. A full size is better for a teenager who moves around; however, it is shorter than a Twin Xl so it's not as good for a tall person. Both options are great for smaller spaces such as studios or small one bedroom.
King
A King size mattress is 76 x 80 inches. A king size bed is great for couples who move around a lot, who like more space in bed, and who have kids or pets who take up space. King size beds are suitable for families.
California King
A California King mattress (also called Cal King) is 72 x 84 inches - 4 inches narrower than a regular King, but 4 inches longer. So if you're more than 6 feet tall, or you share a bed with a taller person, you might want to consider a Cal King bed.
Split King
A Split King mattress has two Twin XL mattresses (38 x 80 inches).
Split Cal King
There's also Split Cal King mattresses. Split California Kings are (also called Split Cal King) two Twin XXL mattresses (36 x 84 inches).We at Overstocksheetclub.com offer sheet sets for all bedding sizes, including Twin XL, Full, Queen, Split Queen, Split Top Queen, King, Cal King, Wyoming King, Split King, Split Cal King, Split Top Queen, and Split Top King.
