The short version
Queen is the default cabinet bed size — all five US manufacturers build queens, they fit a standard 60 × 80-inch (6-inch) mattress, and they retail $1,500–$3,500. A closed queen cabinet bed is about 64 inches wide × 23–25 inches deep × 40–43 inches tall (like a console/dresser); open, it needs roughly 80 inches of clear floor in front. If you have the space and want adult-guest comfort, queen is almost always the right call; step down to a full only when room size or a delivery doorway forces it.

All five US manufacturers offer queens — Arason (14 models), Night & Day (7 + pocket-coil option), Lineage/Sea Winds (3, matching furniture), Alexander & Sheridan (8, FL freight edge), Cottage Creek (17 “sleep chests”). Compare them in the Manufacturer Census and Brand Comparison Matrix.
Queen pricing
$1,500–$3,500 retail; most buyers land $2,000–$3,200 all-in (cabinet + mattress + freight). The only MAP-enforced line (Arason) sets a $2,200–$2,578 floor. Full benchmark: Price Index.
Is a queen right for your room?
- Yes if you have ~80 inches of clear deploy space and a doorway that clears a ~78–80-inch crate.
- Step down to a full if the room is tight or your delivery path is narrow (pre-1960 homes with 28–30-inch doorways often need a full). Tape out the footprint + deploy zone before buying — see Sizes Guide.
