Sizes of the queen bed

Ever since the beginning of the
new millennium, technological advances have caused many revolutions and
developments in recent years, markets have grown greatly with consumers
having different wants and needs in the modern world.  The furniture companies have also been
implemented in the same way.  People
today have different wishes and needs when they ask about the bed size they
want in their rooms and so furniture companies like IKEA had come up with
many different models and sizes of beds that suit the consumer’s needs and
wishes.

After the introduction of king size in
the 19th century.  There was a huge
demand for a medium size between the king size and the usual double size that
could fit the upper class of the middle class.  Queen-size beds were introduced in the
mid-20th century by Americans as a luxury bed size with reference to a
medieval title of a queen.  In the
mid-1950s, the American furniture industry introduced a new queen-size bed
size that was introduced compared to the previous king-size bed size that was
introduced earlier.

This bed size became more
suitable for tall consumers so that the toes do not fall out of the bed.  With its spacious dimensions of 60 inches
wide and 80 inches long, the queen bed has the large market share for tall
adults due to its cost effective price compared to king size.  Many non-standard queen sizes were also
introduced in the furniture market as experiments that did not prove to be as
successful as the standard sizes.

This
terminology was developed by the Americans and is also more commonly called
the king size.  The British queen size
is quite more spacious than the American queen size with its 66 inches wide
and 80 inches long.  It will be the
perfect bed size for adult couples.

This
terminology is also used by Americans and refers to a bed size slightly
larger than the standard queen size that is 64 inches wide and 80 inches
long.  This terminology is not used in
the UK as a bed size.  This bed size is
most often used for waterbed mattresses.

The
split queen size is the standard queen size which is divided into two halves
of 30 inches wide and 80 inches long to fit the bed size for different needs
and purposes.
