Can queen bed frames be paired with king or full-size mattresses?

Queen size mattresses are generally 7 inches wider and 5 inches longer than full size mattresses, so pairing a queen frame with a full-size mattress may leave you with extra space on the frame, which can lead to difficulty when placing bedding. King mattresses are approximately 16 inches wider than queen beds, so placing a king mattress on a queen frame is not recommended, as the mattress will most likely spill over the sides.

Are special mattresses required for queen size daybeds?

No, a standard queen mattress fits perfectly on the frame of a queen size daybed. The only difference between queen size daybed frames and all other queen frames is the placement of the headboard or sideboard. With standard frames, the headboard is at the head of the bed, and with daybed frames, the length of the bed serves as the headboard or sideboard area.

Do queen beds come with the headboard attached?

In some cases, queen beds are designed as a single unit with the headboard and footboard attached. However, there are several models that require assembly. Alternatively, a headboard can be purchased separately and attached to certain bed frames for a customized look. If your bed does not come with attachment hardware, you can also purchase brackets separately.
