What are the dimensions of a olympic queen mattress?
A olympic queen mattress measures 66 inches wide by 80 inches long, or 168 by 203 centimetres. That works out to 36.7 square feet of sleeping surface. This is a specialty size, so confirm the exact figures with the manufacturer before buying a frame or bedding for it.
How big a room does a olympic queen bed need?
For comfortable movement, allow the mattress plus about 3 inches of frame on each side plus 30 inches of walking clearance. For a olympic queen that means roughly 132 inches of room width and 116 inches of length. You can get away with 24 inches of clearance, but a nightstand will crowd it.
What size sheets fit a olympic queen mattress?
Buy sheets labelled olympic queen. The fitted sheet also has to clear the depth of the mattress, so check the pocket depth separately: standard pockets fit up to 12 inches, deep pockets 13 to 17 inches, and extra deep pockets 18 to 22 inches. A topper adds its full thickness to what the sheet must clear.
Is a olympic queen long enough for a tall person?
A mattress should be about 4 to 6 inches longer than the tallest sleeper. At 80 inches, a olympic queen suits someone up to roughly 76 inches tall, which is 6 feet 4 inches. Above that, look at an even longer specialty size.
Does olympic queen refer to thickness as well?
No. Size describes only the width and length. Thickness is separate and ranges from about 6 inches to over 16, with 9 to 12 inches counting as standard. Thickness changes the total height of the bed and the sheet pocket depth you need, but it never changes the 66 by 80 inch footprint.
How to read the numbers on this page. Standard mattress and bedding dimensions are industry-wide and the same across manufacturers. Guidance like replacement intervals, firmness by body weight and walking clearance is convention rather than a measured standard, and every table here says which it is. Where a manufacturer does not publish a figure we leave it out instead of estimating. This is not medical advice: a mattress is not a treatment for a medical condition, and persistent pain is a reason to see a clinician.
