Pair an Olympic Queen Mattress with Adjustable Base

An adjustable bed made in the Olympic Queen size is the Kingship Comfort Custom Adjustable Bed.  This size is made to fit inside an Olympic Queen bed frame and it works well with Olympic Queen mattresses.  The base comes with 2” legs and 5” legs that can be used individually or stacked together for extra height.  These Olympic Queen adjustable beds offer several features.  Standard head and foot positioning, a Zero-Gravity pre-set, and three programmable settings to save your most favored positions are included.  It also has a massage function for those who like to indulge.

Olympic Queen vs Queen

As the name suggests, an Olympic Queen Mattress is larger than a classic Queen.  This gives it the advantage of a roomier top.  The basic Queen size mattress measures 60” x 80” and the Olympic Queen mattress is 66” x 80”.<  Many people find that the extra six inches of width makes sleeping with another person more comfortable. It can also more easily accommodate pets or children that may make their way into the bed.  While standard Queen bedding is more readily available in stores, the additional surface space can make the hunt worthwhile.

Olympic Queen vs King

The step down from a King to an Olympic Queen mattress has its benefits as well.  To compare, the king measures 76” wide and 80” long.  The additional ten inches of width that the king offers comes at an additional financial cost in many cases.  Additionally, the need for more bedroom space can eliminate a king mattress as an option.  This is where an Olympic Queen mattress can become a good compromise.  Another aspect of choosing an Olympic Queen over the king is in the lessened struggle of moving the bed.  A king will almost always weigh more and can be difficult to maneuver through halls and doorways.

 

How to Choose Olympic Queen Mattress?

Types of Mattresses

When buying an Olympic Queen mattress, there are some considerations that you should keep in mind. The considerations include the type of mattress, the range of price, and the different heights. Some of the considerations are discussed below.

• Latex:  Another option of Olympic Queen mattress type is latex.  A true latex mattress will be constructed using eco-friendly processes.  These processes not only help minimize impact on the environment, but they also benefit the health of consumers.
• Memory Foam: The memory foam mattress has been evolving for years. Several types of cooling gels are infused, mixer, and other types. Currently, the newest type is the graphene cooling gel. The graphene cooling gel helps to reduce the temperature of the mattress.
• Hybrid Mattress: A hybrid mattress is the kind of mattress that can be latex and coils or memory foam and coils. The latex and coils are made from natural products, which are rubber trees, but we also have memory foam and coils.
• Price: The price of the mattress ranges depending on the type of the mattress. Beds made from latex usually cost more, but the graphene memory is expensive and costs much less than the latex mattresses.
• Height: When you are buying an Olympic Queen mattress, you should consider the height. This is because some shorter individual prefers shorter mattress while taller or average individual prefer a mattress with average height or taller. The height of the mattress ranges from 8 inches to 13 inches.
• Warranty: The maximum warranty of all Kingship Comforter Olympic mattresses is 15 years.
• Country Made: The Kingship Comfort brand mattresses are assembled in the USA. The latex mattresses are assembled in the USA but cannot made in the USA since the environment should be in the tropical area region where the rubber trees grow. Other mattresses are made in the USA.

 

How Does the Mattress Ship?

Considerations Before Buying an Olympic Queen Mattress

Before buying an Olympic queen mattress there are some things you need to consider. First, think about the comfort level. The comfort level will depend on the preference of the user. There is a mattress buying guide available. It shows the different types of sleepers and the preferred comfort levels. Next, think about the material. The common materials are memory foam, hybrid, or latex. Of course, you also have to consider the cost. But do not let cost be the final deciding factor. There are many cheap mattresses that will not last. A mattress may be pricey, but if the quality is great, it can last for a long time.

 

Most Common Questions: Are There Box Foundation?

The Olympic Queen size was only at retail for a short time, and I had to buy the Olympic Queen box spring. The box foundation is custom-made, which can be easily made, but if you already have one box foundation, there is no need to buy another one. The biggest challenge after purchasing the box spring foundation is getting the right metal frame that goes underneath. If you prefer the 66-inch by 80-inch size, we suggest you buy a custom-made platform bed frame or have one locally made, which could be more practical and cost-effective, especially when shipping a locally-made frame.

Things You Need to Know

• If You Have Box Spring: If you already have a box spring, you can reuse it instead of purchasing a new one.
• Have an Antique Frame: For antique bed frames, the mattress can be placed directly on the frame, using either the original box foundation or a platform foundation.
• RVs and Mobile Homes: Mattresses in RVs and mobile homes often sit on a platform, eliminating the need for a box spring or frame.
• Custom Made: If you choose a custom-made box foundation, remember that locating a simple metal frame may be difficult. To save on shipping and costs, have a local woodworker build a simple platform bed frame instead.

 

Our Thoughts

When buying an Olympic queen mattress, you must consider the specific needs of your setup, whether it is for an RV, an antique bed frame, or a space from when Olympic queens were more common in retail stores. Because Olympic queen mattresses are custom-sized, traditional coil or latex foam mattresses could lead to issues. Because of the specific dimensions of Olympic queen mattresses, coil mattresses, particularly ones with high-quality coils such as Leggett & Platt, may not align perfectly. This might lead to misaligned coil sheets, affecting the mattress’s overall function. Similarly, latex foam mattresses may have concerns because standard latex sheets are not wide enough to cover the full surface, necessitating the patching of additional parts. We recommend you opt for a memory foam mattress in the Olympic queen size to avoid this issue. Memory foam mattresses can provide consistent support and comfort without the complications of coil or latex foam mattresses.

What size sheets fit an Olympic Queen?

The Olympic queen fitted sheet size 66 inches by 80 inches. Meanwhile, the flat sheet will depend on the height of the mattress. To find out, remember the following steps. Double the height of the mattress. Add this product to the width. This new sum will be the width of the comforter. For the comforter length, simply add the height of the mattress to the length. For example, for a 12-inch mattress add 24 inches to the width and 12 inches to the length. So you will do 66 + 24 = 90 inches (width) and 80 + 12 = 92 inches (length).
