Convert Full Size Bed To Queen Size

Converting a full-size bed to a queen-size bed can be a great way to upgrade your sleeping space without having to buy a whole new bed. Here are some simple steps to help you do it:

Step 1: Measure Your Bed

Start by measuring the length and width of your full-size bed. A standard full-size bed is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. If your bed is a different size, you will need to adjust the measurements accordingly.

Step 2: Purchase a Queen-Size Mattress

Once you know the measurements of your bed, you can purchase a queen-size mattress. A queen-size mattress is 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. Make sure to choose a mattress that is the right firmness for you.

Step 3: Remove the Old Mattress

Remove the old mattress from the bed frame. Be careful not to damage the frame.

Step 4: Adjust the Bed Frame

Most bed frames can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of mattresses. If your bed frame does not have adjustable side rails, you may need to purchase new ones.

To adjust the side rails, simply loosen the bolts that hold them in place and slide them out to the desired width. Make sure that the side rails are evenly spaced on both sides of the bed.

Step 5: Place the New Mattress on the Bed

Once the bed frame is adjusted, you can place the new queen-size mattress on the bed. Make sure that the mattress is centered on the bed frame.

Step 6: Add Bedding

Add your bedding to the bed and enjoy your new queen-size bed!

Tips:

If you have a headboard or footboard, you may need to adjust it to fit the new queen-size mattress.
If you are converting a bunk bed to a queen-size bed, you will need to purchase a new bunkie board or box spring to support the mattress.
Once you have converted your bed to a queen-size, make sure to check the height of the bed to make sure that it is still comfortable for you to get in and out of.
