Full vs queen mattresses: Which size is best for your sleep?

Full vs queen mattresses: image shows the Tuft & Needle Original full size on the left and the Casper Original queen on the right.

When deciding between a full vs queen mattress, it helps to know what the main differences are between the two sizes so that you can figure out which one suits your sleep needs. Several different factors affect this, including your height and body type, the available space in your bedroom, and whether you sleep solo or share a bed. 

All of our best mattresses of 2025 come in full and queen sizes, so you won't feel limited, regardless of which you choose. Of course, you'll pay more for a queen than a full — and that includes any accompanying bedding. On the other hand, queen is the most popular bed size among adults in the US, which translates to a better selection of accessories available.
