The Olympic Queen mattress measures 66 inches wide by 80 inches long — six inches wider than a standard Queen and the same length as a King. It sits squarely between those two sizes, giving couples more sleeping surface without the full footprint a King requires. Each person gets about 33 inches of width, compared to 30 inches on a regular Queen.
The main trade-off is availability. Olympic Queen mattresses, sheets, and bed frames aren’t sold at every store. Most of your shopping will happen online, and you’ll need to look specifically for items labeled “Olympic Queen” or “Super Queen” (they’re the same thing). Standard Queen sheets are six inches too narrow and won’t fit properly.
If you share a bed and regularly feel squeezed on a standard Queen, the extra width makes a real difference. If you’re a solo sleeper or your bedroom can’t comfortably fit a 66-inch-wide mattress, a standard Queen will serve you better.
Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy an Olympic Queen
✅ Best For
- Couples who feel cramped on a standard Queen
- Bedrooms that can’t fit a King but need more than a Queen offers
- Families who occasionally co-sleep with kids or pets
- Restless sleepers who want a buffer from a partner’s movement
- Anyone willing to shop online for specialty bedding
❌ Skip If
- You’re a solo sleeper — a standard Queen already gives you plenty of room
- Your bedroom is smaller than 10 feet by 12 feet
- You prefer to shop for bedding in-store and want easy replacements
- You want a wide selection of mattress brands to choose from
What Are Olympic Queen Mattress Dimensions?
An Olympic Queen mattress measures 66 inches wide by 80 inches long, or roughly 167 cm × 203.5 cm in metric. That’s six inches wider than the standard 60 × 80-inch Queen and the same length as both the King and standard Queen. for a broader look at how to evaluate size alongside comfort and support.
How It Compares to Other Common Mattress Sizes
The Olympic Queen fills a gap in the standard size lineup. Here’s where every mainstream size falls, according to Amerisleep’s mattress dimensions chart:
| Mattress Size | Width × Length (inches) | Width × Length (cm) | Recommended Room Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 38 × 75 | 96.5 × 188 | 7′ × 10′ |
| Twin XL | 38 × 80 | 96.5 × 203.5 | 9.5′ × 10.5′ |
| Full | 54 × 75 | 137 × 190.5 | 9.5′ × 10.5′ |
| Full XL | 54 × 80 | 137 × 203.5 | 9.5′ × 10.5′ |
| Queen | 60 × 80 | 152 × 203.5 | 10′ × 10′ |
| Olympic Queen | 66 × 80 | 167 × 203.5 | 10′ × 14′ |
| King | 76 × 80 | 193 × 203.5 | 12′ × 12′ |

Other Names for the Olympic Queen
You’ll see this size listed under a few different names depending on the retailer: Super Queen, Expanded Queen, and occasionally Wide Queen. They all refer to the same 66 × 80-inch mattress. When searching online, use any of these terms — just confirm the listed dimensions before ordering.
Olympic Queen vs. Standard Queen: Side-by-Side
The length is identical on both. The only difference is six inches of width. That may not sound significant until you’re actually sharing the bed — three extra inches each for two people adds up to noticeably more room to move without disturbing a partner.
| Feature | Standard Queen | Olympic Queen |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 60 inches | 66 inches |
| Length | 80 inches | 80 inches |
| Width per person (shared) | 30 inches | 33 inches |
| Recommended room size | 10′ × 10′ minimum | 10′ × 14′ minimum |
| Bedding availability | Widely available everywhere | Online specialty retailers |
| Frame availability | Universally available | Online, must confirm 66″ width |
| Mattress price range | ~$300–$3,000+ | ~$800–$3,000+ (fewer options) |
The sleeping space comparison is notable. According to Amerisleep’s Queen size comparison, a standard Queen gives each partner 30 inches — just a little wider than a single Twin (38″). The Olympic Queen brings that to 33 inches, closer to what you’d get on a Split King arrangement. For reference, a full King (76″) would give each person 38 inches. for recommendations in each size category.
What Room Size Do You Need for an Olympic Queen?
Plan for a bedroom at least 10 feet wide by 14 feet long to fit an Olympic Queen comfortably. If you’re still deciding between sizes, our walks through room planning in detail. That guideline accounts for roughly 24 inches of clearance on each side of the mattress and about 36 inches of open space at the foot of the bed — the minimum you need to move around without squeezing past furniture.
To put that in practical terms: a 66-inch mattress plus 24 inches on each side requires at least 114 inches (9.5 feet) of room width. Add normal baseboard and nightstand clearances, and a 10-foot-wide room is the safe minimum. The extra length requirement (14 feet vs. the Queen’s 10-foot recommendation) comes from that foot-of-bed clearance.
If your room is in the 10′ × 10′ to 10′ × 12′ range, a standard Queen is a more practical fit. A King, for comparison, typically needs a 12′ × 12′ room.
Olympic Queen Bedding: Sheets, Frames, and Toppers
Sheets and Fitted Sheets
Standard Queen sheets measure 60 inches wide and won’t stretch to cover a 66-inch mattress. You need sheets specifically labeled for Olympic Queen (or Super Queen). The good news: they’re more available than many people expect. for more bedding recommendations.
You can find Olympic Queen sheets at:
- Amazon — wide selection across price points
- Walmart — carries Olympic Queen sheet sets
- Target — Blue Nile Mills 400TC Egyptian Cotton Olympic Queen sets available
- Wayfair — multiple brands with free shipping
- Bed Bath & Beyond — Olympic Queen sheet sets with free shipping on qualifying orders
- Specialty retailers — overstocksheetclub.com, bedlinensetc.com, wholesalebeddings.com
As a price reference, Overstock Sheet Club lists an Olympic Queen 1800-series microfiber set (fitted sheet 66″ × 80″ × 16″ deep pocket, flat sheet, two pillowcases) for $69.95 as of March 2026. Pricing across retailers ranges from around $30 for basic sets to $100+ for Egyptian cotton options.
Look for deep pocket fitted sheets with a pocket depth of at least 15 inches if your mattress is on the thicker side — most modern foam and hybrid mattresses run 12–14 inches, and adding a topper can push that higher.
If you’re stuck without Olympic-specific sheets temporarily, King-size flat sheets can work as a stopgap — they’re wider and will drape over the sides. For fitted sheets specifically, King won’t fit the same way, but sheet suspenders or clips can help hold a standard Queen fitted sheet in place. Even so, dedicated Olympic Queen sheets are widely stocked online and are the cleaner solution.
Bed Frames
A standard Queen bed frame, which is built for a 60-inch-wide mattress, will not accommodate an Olympic Queen. You need a frame sized for 66 inches. The frame market has caught up with demand — Olympic Queen frames are available at Amazon, Wayfair, Target, and Walmart, either listed directly as “Olympic Queen” or by their 66 × 80-inch dimensions.
When shopping, confirm the interior platform dimensions (not the overall frame dimensions) are at least 66 × 80 inches. Adjustable base frames that support Olympic Queen mattresses are also available from some retailers, though selection is more limited than for standard Queen adjustable bases.
Mattress Toppers
Olympic Queen toppers are available, though less common than Queen or King options. Foamite, a Canadian foam manufacturer shipping to the US, offers Olympic Queen memory foam mattress toppers in 2-inch and 3-inch thickness starting at $110–$270 (as of early 2026). Custom-cut foam toppers are an option through specialty foam retailers if you can’t find a ready-made fit.
Always verify topper dimensions before ordering — list the size as 66 × 80 inches to confirm the fit.
Types of Mattresses Available in Olympic Queen Size
The selection is narrower than for standard Queen or King, but several mattress types are available. Your best options come through online specialty retailers and custom mattress companies.
Memory Foam
Memory foam is the easiest Olympic Queen type to find online. The motion-isolation properties are a practical benefit for couples — one person’s movement is less likely to disturb the other. Specialty retailers like MattressInsider stock Luxury Olympic Queen memory foam models (currently around $959–$1,200 at time of writing).
Hybrid
Hybrid mattresses combine an innerspring coil base with a foam or latex comfort layer. A growing number of online brands now carry hybrid Olympic Queen options. These typically run higher in price than foam-only models but offer better edge support and airflow for hot sleepers.
Innerspring
Traditional innerspring mattresses are available in Olympic Queen through custom mattress makers, though the selection is smaller. If you prefer the bounce and cooler sleep of coils, check with custom-cut mattress retailers directly.
Latex
Latex mattresses are durable, temperature-regulating, and resistant to sagging — and some natural latex brands carry Olympic Queen. Turmerry, for instance, offers organic latex Olympic Queen mattresses. Expect a higher price point for natural latex compared to foam.
Custom-Cut Mattresses
If you have specific thickness, material, or comfort requirements that off-the-shelf options don’t meet, custom mattress companies are worth exploring. Retailers like MattressInsider (Littleton, CO) specialize in non-standard sizes and ship to all 50 states. for a breakdown of what to look for in each mattress type.
Current pricing for Olympic Queen mattresses generally falls in the $800–$3,000 range, according to Amerisleep’s size comparison, with budget foam options at the lower end and premium natural materials (latex, organic wool, handcrafted) at the top. Check current prices directly with retailers, as this category shifts frequently.
Olympic Queen vs. Other Queen Variants
The Queen family has more members than most people realize. Here’s a quick breakdown so you know what you’re actually comparing:
| Size Name | Dimensions | Key Difference | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Queen | 60″ × 80″ | The baseline | Most bedrooms and sleeper types |
| Olympic / Super / Expanded Queen | 66″ × 80″ | 6″ wider than standard | Couples needing extra width |
| California Queen | 60″ × 84″ | 4″ longer than standard, same width | Taller sleepers (6’3″+) |
| Short Queen | 60″ × 75″ | 5″ shorter than standard | RVs, campers, compact spaces |
The most common mix-up is Olympic Queen vs. California Queen. They’re solving different problems: the California Queen adds length for tall individuals but keeps the standard 60-inch width. The Olympic Queen adds width for couples but doesn’t add length. If you’re 6’3″ or taller and sharing a bed, neither is a perfect solution — a California King (72″ × 84″) covers both needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of an Olympic Queen mattress?
An Olympic Queen mattress measures 66 inches wide by 80 inches long (approximately 167 cm × 203.5 cm). It’s six inches wider than a standard Queen (60″ × 80″) and the same length. Manufacturing tolerances can vary by about ±1 inch from stated dimensions.
Is an Olympic Queen the same as a Super Queen or Expanded Queen?
Yes — all three names refer to the same mattress size: 66″ × 80″. Different retailers and manufacturers use different marketing names, but the dimensions are identical. When shopping, always confirm the actual width and length listed in the product specs rather than relying on the name alone.
Can I use standard Queen sheets on an Olympic Queen mattress?
Standard Queen fitted sheets are six inches too narrow (60″ vs. 66″) and won’t properly cover an Olympic Queen mattress. You’ll need sheets labeled specifically for Olympic Queen or Super Queen. These are available at Amazon, Target, Walmart, Wayfair, and specialty bedding retailers. A temporary workaround is to use King-size flat sheets draped over the mattress and secure a standard Queen fitted sheet with sheet clips or suspenders, but proper Olympic Queen sheets are the better solution and widely available online.
What size bed frame do I need for an Olympic Queen?
You need a frame designed for a 66-inch-wide mattress. Standard Queen frames won’t fit. Look for frames explicitly listed as “Olympic Queen” or confirm the interior platform dimensions are 66″ × 80″. These frames are available at Amazon, Wayfair, Target, and Walmart.
How much does an Olympic Queen mattress cost?
Olympic Queen mattresses generally range from about $800 to $3,000, depending on material (foam, hybrid, latex) and brand. Budget options start around $800–$1,000 for foam models. Premium options — natural latex, handcrafted, or luxury materials — can run $2,000–$3,000 or more. The price is often comparable to a standard Queen from the same brand, though selection is more limited. Check current pricing with retailers directly, as availability and promotions change frequently.
How is an Olympic Queen different from a California Queen?
They solve different problems. The Olympic Queen (66″ × 80″) is wider than a standard Queen — useful for couples who want more side-to-side space. The California Queen (60″ × 84″) is longer than a standard Queen — useful for tall sleepers who want more legroom. Both are narrower than a King, but the California Queen keeps the standard 60-inch width.
How does an Olympic Queen compare to a King in size?
A King mattress is 76 inches wide — ten inches wider than an Olympic Queen. Both are 80 inches long. On a King, two partners each get 38 inches of width. On an Olympic Queen, each gets 33 inches. If you have the room for a King (typically 12′ × 12′ minimum), it offers significantly more sleeping space. The Olympic Queen is the better choice when you want more than a Queen but your bedroom can’t comfortably fit a King’s 76-inch width.
Where can I buy an Olympic Queen mattress?
Most Olympic Queen mattresses are sold online rather than in physical stores. Reliable sources include specialty mattress retailers (MattressInsider, Turmerry, Winstons Beds), custom mattress companies, and major online marketplaces like Amazon and Wayfair. In-store availability at chains like Mattress Firm or Sleep Number is limited — call ahead before making a trip. Browse for individual model breakdowns.
