Dimensions	153 cm in width by 203 cm in length or 5 feet by 6 feet 8 inches.	183 cm in width by 203 cm in length or 6 feet by 6 feet 8 inches.
Why they are popular?	A queen-size bed tends to be very popular among couples and people who sleep alone but require more room. It provides adequate space while simultaneously catering to the needs of most bedrooms.	Individuals who sleep single or double will find a king bed much more comfortable. This bed size goes hand in hand with those who are in everlasting need of space. It is also very useful for people who sleep next to each other but tend to move a lot during the night.
Available Space & Size of the Room	Generally, a queen bed is more appropriate for Australian bedrooms as it suits most average-sized rooms. It has sufficient space while not consuming excessive floor space.	A king bed is ideal for bigger rooms only. It is most appropriate for larger bedrooms that desire a more grand and expansive look and feel. A thorough assessment of whether the room is large enough to comfortably fit the king bed alongside movement facilities should be made before the purchase.
Level of comfort	A queen bed comfortably accommodates couples and individuals as well to sleep without feeling uncomfortable.	A king bed makes more personal space available for each user which is most suitable for individuals who tend to move around often in their sleep, or couples who prefer more room. Shared beds with pets or young children also make it an ideal choice.
Affordable range	Usually, queen-size beds are cheaper than king-size beds due to fewer mattress, bed frame, and linen requirements.	The bed frame and mattress are of the largest size; hence, king beds tend to be costly. Besides, there are also greater bed linen expenses because of the size.
Bedding and linens	Sheets, blankets, comforters, and queen-sized linens are plentiful and usually quite affordable.	While it is true that king-sized beds come at a price and cost more than other beds, in terms of comfort, the investment pays off as the roominess is an added advantage.
