While both are designed for couples, the difference lies in space. A queen measures 152 cm wide, compared to a double at 137 cm. That extra 15 cm can make a difference for restless sleepers or those who share with kids or pets. If you’re limited on space, a double is an affordable, practical choice. If comfort for two is your top priority, you may want to upgrade to a queen.
