It’s an unfortunate fact that most of us in the developed world are getting bigger with each passing year. Whether that is due to our sedentary lifestyles or just because we consume far more calories than we need is open to debate, but the fact is our collective increasing girths is having a major impact on our quality of life, and in particular how well we sleep at night. One thing that might help us address this problem is the extended queen mattress due to it’s slightly larger dimensions than a standard queen size mattress.

A standard queen mattress measures 60 inches in width, and has traditionally been the most popular sized mattress for married couples. In the past, the queen mattress has always been large enough to provide the right level of support for the average person, which meant that the majority of people could get a comfortable night’s sleep on one.

As we have started to get bigger, the amount of spare space available for us in a queen mattress has reduced, which means that the chances of getting the quality of sleep that we need has reduced equally. To address this, more and more people have begun looking at larger sized mattresses such as the expanded queen mattress due to its increased width.

The extended queen mattress is only 6 inches wider than a standard queen sized, but that extra bit of space appears to restore the natural balance we had previously. The one thing to bear in mind if you are looking for an expanded queen mattress or in fact any sized mattress, is to try it out before you buy it, because the extra space alone is no guarantee of better sleep – it has to be the right firmness for you and your partner.
