152.5 CM WIDTH × 203 CM LENGTH
At 152.5cm wide x 203cm long, a queen size mattress is a great option for two adults, and a popular choice in New Zealand.
Queen size mattresses fit well in most New Zealand bedrooms or guest rooms. Alternative options include the smaller double mattress, or the larger king size mattress.
The New Zealand queen mattress size is beneficial for those who:
Share their bed with a partner
Sleep alone but prefer additional room
Need the 203 cm mattress length
Want a generous bed size without moving to king
Why choose a queen mattress
A queen bed is a popular choice for couples. This size offers enough space to stay cool in summer, but allows for cosy warmth in winter. Many Kiwis choose to pair a king size blanket or duvet with a queen size bed for added luxury.
Single sleepers may benefit from the additional space a queen bed has to offer; in particular, taller people may prefer a queen mattress as it is longer than a double.
This mattress size is ideal for standard bedrooms, especially where a king or super king does not fit due to space. As a result, the queen size mattress is a popular choice for most bedrooms and guest spaces.
Choose from our Sealy Posturepedic range for a mattress that meets your needs, offering innovative back support, premium comfort layers and a range of comfort options.
Also, if you are unsure if this is the right size for you, we suggest using our Bed Selector or try our range of mattress sizes at your local Sealy retailer.

Plush
The softest and most luxurious feel in the range, provides the highest level of conformance to relieve pressure points, whilst still delivering excellent support.
Works well for side sleepers or those who sleep in positions with pressure points in concentrated areas. Especially for those who like a soft feel.
Medium
The best of both worlds, a plush feel delivers an exceptional level of conformance and support to ensure your body can get the rest and recovery it needs at night.
This bed is right in the middle of the comfort feels, making it perfect for supporting mixed sleepers on both side, back and front positions.
Firm
The firm bed provides exceptional support to help you throughout the night, while still providing a high degree of comfort.

Double mattress
If it’s time to move out of your single bed, a double size (138.5cm x 190cm) is a great step-up. The extra width will feel luxurious for one person and can also accommodate couples.

Double mattresses are great space-savers and are a versatile option if you’re looking for a guest bed; they are also a popular choice for teenagers as many bedrooms will accommodate a double size.
