Queen Size Air Mattress Dimensions Australia 2025: A Complete Guide

Summary

What are the standard Queen size air mattress dimensions in Australia in 2025, and how do you choose the right one for guests or camping?

 

A Queen size air mattress in Australia typically measures 152cm x 203cm, matching a standard Queen bed so you can use regular sheets. When choosing one, look for the right height (single-height for camping, double-height for home use), a built-in pump for easy inflation, and durable, leak-resistant materials. This ensures better comfort, easier setup, and fewer overnight deflation issues—especially important for guests, travel, and temporary sleeping setups.

An air mattress is an incredibly useful item to have on hand. It’s the perfect solution for overnight guests, a comfortable option for camping trips, and a lifesaver when you’re in between moves. The Queen size is by far the most popular choice, offering a generous amount of space for two adults or a luxurious amount for one. But what exactly are the dimensions of a Queen size air mattress in Australia, and what do you need to know before you buy one?

 

This guide will walk you through the standard dimensions, height considerations, and other important factors to help you choose the perfect Queen size air mattress.

Standard Queen Size Air Mattress Dimensions in Australia

A Queen size air mattress in Australia is designed to be very close to the dimensions of a standard Queen size mattress. This makes it easy to use your existing Queen size bedding.

The standard dimensions are approximately:

  • Width: 152cm
  • Length: 203cm

Important Note: These dimensions are the target size when the mattress is fully inflated. There can be slight variations between brands, and the final size can be affected by how much you inflate the mattress. An under-inflated mattress will be slightly smaller, while an over-inflated one might bulge and be slightly larger (though over-inflating is not recommended).

Title

The Third Dimension: Height

Unlike a traditional mattress, the height of an air mattress is a key feature and can vary significantly. The height dramatically affects the comfort and convenience of the bed.

Single-Height / Low-Profile Air Mattresses

Height: Approximately 20cm - 30cm

 

These are the more traditional style of air mattresses. They are lightweight, compact when deflated, and quick to inflate. Their lower profile makes them ideal for camping and for situations where portability is the top priority.

 

Pros: Lightweight, portable, affordable, fast inflation.

 

Cons: Can be difficult to get in and out of, less insulation from cold floors.

Double-Height / Raised Air Mattresses

Height: Approximately 40cm - 55cm

 

These have become the most popular choice for in-home use. A double-height Queen air mattress is designed to be at a similar height to a traditional bed and frame. This makes it much easier to get in and out of, which is a huge advantage for adults, the elderly, or anyone with mobility issues.

 

Pros: Easy to get in and out of, feels more like a real bed, better insulation.

 

Cons: Heavier and bulkier to store, takes longer to inflate.

Air Mattress Dimensions vs. Traditional Mattress Dimensions

Here’s how a Queen air mattress compares to other standard Australian mattress sizes:

Mattress Size

Dimensions (cm)

Best For

Double

138 x 188

1-2 people (snug)

Queen Air Mattress

152 x 203

2 people comfortably

King

183 x 203

2 people with extra space

As you can see, a Queen air mattress offers a significant space advantage over a Double, providing that extra width and length that makes all the difference for two adults.

Title

What Size Sheets Do I Use on a Queen Air Mattress?

This is a simple one: you use Queen size sheets. Because the length and width dimensions are the same as a standard Queen bed, your existing Queen fitted and flat sheets will work perfectly.

 

A special consideration for double-height mattresses: If you have a very tall, double-height air mattress (50cm+), you may need to use deep-pocket or extra-deep-pocket fitted sheets to ensure the sheet can tuck all the way under the mattress without popping off.

What to Look for When Buying a Queen Air Mattress

1. Inflation Method

  • Built-in Electric Pump: This is the most convenient option. Simply plug it into the wall, turn a dial, and the mattress inflates (and deflates) itself in minutes. This is a must-have feature for double-height mattresses.
  • External Pump: Requires a separate pump (either battery-operated or manual). Better for camping where you may not have access to power.
  • Manual Inflation: Only found on very basic, low-profile mattresses. Not recommended for a Queen size bed unless for extreme portability.

2. Internal Structure

What’s inside the mattress is just as important as the outside. The internal structure provides support and prevents the mattress from bulging in the middle.

  • Air Coils or Chambers: These are individual pockets of air that provide a more stable and supportive surface, similar to the springs in a traditional mattress.
  • Beams: Vertical or horizontal beams of vinyl that run the length or width of the mattress. This is a more basic support system.

Look for models that advertise an “air coil” or “inner-coil” structure for the best support and comfort.

3. Material and Surface

The mattress should be made from thick, puncture-resistant PVC or vinyl. The top surface is also important. A flocked top (a soft, velvety material) is highly recommended. It prevents you from sticking to the mattress, helps to keep bedding in place, and provides a more comfortable surface to sleep on.

4. Weight Capacity

Always check the maximum weight capacity, especially if two adults will be using the bed. A good quality Queen air mattress should have a weight capacity of at least 250kg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my air mattress seem to deflate overnight?

This is the most common complaint about air mattresses. There are two main reasons. Firstly, as the air inside the mattress cools down during the night, it contracts, making the mattress feel softer. This is normal. Secondly, the vinyl material can stretch slightly during the first few uses. It’s a good idea to inflate a new air mattress for a few hours, top it up, and then use it. If it continues to lose a significant amount of air, you may have a slow leak.

How do I find a leak in my air mattress?

Inflate the mattress fully. Mix some dish soap and water in a spray bottle and spray it all over the mattress, paying close attention to the seams and the valve. The escaping air will create bubbles, showing you where the leak is. Most air mattresses come with a patch kit for simple repairs.

How should I store my air mattress?

Ensure the mattress is fully deflated and completely dry. Fold or roll it neatly and store it in its carry bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in areas with sharp objects or extreme temperatures.

Is a Queen air mattress big enough for two people?

Yes, at 152cm wide, it provides 76cm of space per person, which is generally considered comfortable for two adults for temporary sleeping arrangements.

The Foldable Mattress: A Superior Alternative?

While a Queen size air mattress is a good solution, at Ecotoppers we believe there is an even better one: the foldable foam mattress.

A foldable mattress offers all the convenience of a temporary bed but solves the biggest problems of an air mattress:

 

  • No Deflating: It’s made of high-density foam, so it will never lose firmness overnight.
  • Instant Setup: Simply unfold it. No pumps, no power, no waiting.
  • Superior Comfort & Support: Quality foam provides more consistent and ergonomic support than an air-filled chamber.
  • Better Insulation: Foam provides excellent insulation from cold floors, something air mattresses struggle with.
  • Silent Sleep: No squeaking or plastic noises when you move.

 

Our Ecotoppers Foldable Mattress is available in a Queen size (153cm x 203cm), offering the same generous dimensions with the superior comfort and reliability of foam. It’s the perfect, hassle-free solution for guests, travel, and any time you need an extra bed in an instant.

 

While a Queen air mattress is a practical tool, consider upgrading your temporary bedding solution to a foldable foam mattress for a truly comfortable and worry-free night’s sleep.
