Queen XL Mattress

What is a Queen XL mattress?

Longer length is what you get with a Queen XL mattress. Compared to the traditional queen size, it measures an extra four inches longer. That may not seem like a lot. However, it can make an immense difference for someone whose height is six and a half feet or more. The technical dimensions of a Queen XL are 60” x 84” which gives it seven feet of length. Consequently, tall sleepers can stretch out in comfort without the need to move up to the next larger size. The central benefit of the Queen XL long mattress size is this extra legroom.

Queen XL Long Mattress Options
